Rhythm, or lack thereof, aside, Aaron Rodgers referred to getting to "recharge" for a playoff run in which the Packers can reach the Super Bowl without leaving the friendly confines of Lambeau Field.
While home-field advantage in this pandemic season isn't what it normally would be, since no fans are in the stands, the Packers believe it still will matter because of the Green Bay weather that some of their potential playoff opponents – like the Rams, Buccaneers or Saints – won't be accustomed to.
"It's a world of difference," receiver Davante Adams said. "People play different, people act different, they talk different, everything (is different) coming through Lambeau. It is what it is. You can come in and try to bark and be barefoot pregame, shirt off and do whatever you want to do, but at the end of the day it's a beast playing in that snow. It's a beast playing in that weather.
"It's not going to be easy but it gives us a tremendous amount of confidence knowing we're at home. And from what I've seen in the past, it's taken that confidence away from our opponents."
The Packers have four possible matchups for the divisional round – Tampa Bay, Los Angeles, Washington, or Chicago again – depending on how next weekend's wild-card games unfold. They'll find out the specific day and time of their game late next Sunday. Green Bay would not face New Orleans or Seattle until a possible NFC title game.
