The Green Bay Packers are still alive in the playoff hunt in the NFC

as the teams in the middle of the conference all seem to be in various states of collapse https://www.thepackersfanshop.com/Mason-Crosby-Jersey , and a win in Chicago on Sunday would give them a big boost towards that goal. However, there are a few individual Packers who have some big numbers that they are closing in on this season, and it will be fun to see if they can hit these targets in these last three weeks.One obvious milestone is the 1,000-yard mark. Davante Adams already crossed that threshold in receiving yardage, but Aaron Jones has an outside shot at hitting that number with big games down the stretch. As for Adams, he is within reach of both 1,500 yards and 15 touchdowns, needing to average just over 100 yards and one score to hit those marks.Aaron Rodgers also has a chance to set a new career high in passing yardage, though that will also take three big games to get there. His previous career high was in his MVP season of 2011, when he put up 4,643 yards on 9.2 yards per attempt. His Y/A is sitting at 7.5 right now, which is a bit below his career average. With 3,700 yards at present, he can break that personal best with three big games averaging 315 yards apiece.Finally Kyler Fackrell Jersey , Blake Martinez is on pace to narrowly break his single-season team record for tackles, which he set last year at 144. At his current pace of about 9.1 tackles per game, he would hit 145 for the season.While we’re all watching and hoping that the Packers can win out and get a shot at the postseason, let’s also keep cheering for the individual players to hit these targets and get some additional recognition in the midst of a challenging season.Aaron Jones could make some history of his own | Packers.comJones needs about 94 yards per game over the final three to hit 1,000 for the year, but he also could set a team record if he finds the end zone in each of the last three games. That would give him rushing scores in eight straight games, braking a record held by Paul Hornung.Packers positioned to clear cap space by shedding big names | Packersnews.comPete Dougherty looks at all of the potential veterans who have either expiring contracts or who are cut candidates, and he's already assuming the Packers use a post-June 1st cut on Nick Perry. But he also thinks Jimmy Graham and Bryan Bulaga are on their way out, and that would give Green Bay about $55 million in total cap space.Week 1 comeback provides blueprint for Packers offense vs. Bears | Packers WireQuick passes, quick passes, Aaron Jones, and more quick passes -- that's how the Packers can beat the Bears on Sunday.Dos, don'ts of Packers' coaching search - ESPNRemember that the Packers cannot start interviewing current NFL coaches until after the season, nor can they interview assistants on playoff teams outside of a very strict window.Chiefs and Chargers can meet again in the 2019 NFL playoffs.

These decisions are never easy to take, but we believe that this is the right one to make.”Sherman had some success with the Packers, finishing with winning records in his first five seasons.
