An exclusive, all access look at the people, technology, and highly organized chaos that results in the NFL’s most advanced game broadcast. The Packers have yet to win a game without Rodgers this season and are averaging a lowly 17.3 points per game with the likes of Seneca Wallace, Scott Tolzien and Matt Flynn at the helm. The Packers are currently 5-5-1 after a tie with the Vikings on Sunday. The Packers are a half-game behind the Bears and Lions for the NFC North division lead. Matt Flynn is expected to start for the Packers on Thursday, but the decision has yet to be announced by the team.
The Packers will face the Lions at Ford Field on Thanksgiving at 12:30 p.m. ET on FOX.
