Tom Brady. Mike Evans. Chris Godwin (potentially). Rob Gronkowski. Those four weapons, three if Godwin ends up not suiting up, will certainly present the secondary for the Green Bay Packers a hearty challenge on Sunday, something that this defense surely needs to accurately understand how good they truly are.

Major headlines going into the bye week for Green Bay
