GREEN BAY – Sunday night was the ultimate display of just how important home-field advantage can be for the Packers in the playoffs.
On a snow-covered Lambeau Field amidst some swirling winds, the Packers looked like they belonged, and a formidable Titans team did not.
The result was a 40-14 blowout that has to have a number of potential NFC playoff opponents from down south, like New Orleans, Tampa Bay, Los Angeles or Arizona, wondering how they might fare in Green Bay in the coming weeks.
The Packers have to beat the Bears next week in Chicago to assure the road to the Super Bowl in the NFC goes through Lambeau, but they looked on Sunday night like a team determined to make sure it would.
"People definitely don't want to play in the cold," said Davante Adams, who continued one of the best seasons ever by a Packers receiver with 11 catches for 142 yards and three TDs. "It's tough, man. It's tough.
"It makes you a little bit less physical. It takes your speed away. If you don't get to practice in this and get used to the temperature, the snow and all of that stuff, as you've seen, it can obviously take a toll.
