The Green Bay Packers will play the San Diego Chargers on Sunday afternoon in Week 6 of the NFL 2015 regular season, and the Packers will be looking to maintain their perfect winning start to the season so far. The game has a scheduled start time of 4.25 p.m. ET and takes place from Lambeau Field in Green Bay, Wisconsin. The game can be watched on TV on the CBS network or online through live stream via the link below.
The 2-3 Chargers dropped into a negative record territory last week after suffering a final play loss. They will be looking to bounce back today but it will be a huge challenge against the 5-0 Packers.
Green Bay have the winning habit, and even though Aaron Rodgers suffered a poor game last week against the St Louis Rams, they still managed to claim the win. In that game Rodgers gave up two interceptions, which ended his run of 587 pass attempts and 49 touchdown throw at home without an interception. He also fumbled once, as he seemed to struggle with a rare bad day at the office. But the Packers were immense in defense and held the Rams to just 10 points, allowing them to reach their 11th straight win at Lambeau Field with what was in the end a reasonably comfortable 24-10 victory.
Coach Mike McCarthy acknowledged their achievement despite suffering three turnovers in the game: "To turn the football over three times and still win, have a decisive victory at home by 14 points, that tells you something about your team. We want to be a football team that can beat you a number of different ways. That's been the goal since April. We're making steps toward that."
Elsewhere in the NFL, earlier this week the Atlanta Falcons suffered their first defeat of the season, coming up short against the New Orleans Saints on NFL Thursday Night Football.
Drew Brees was the clear difference between the teams, with the Saints' quarterback passing for 312 yards. Brees connected excellently with Ben Watson, who posted a career high of 127 yards receiving, including a fourth down touchdown catch.
The game also saw an spectacular punt block by Michael Mauti, who went on to recover the ball for a touchdown to the delight of tens of thousands of fans at the Superdome.
There were also two short touchdowns for Mark Ingram, as the Saints put on arguably their best display of the season so far. The New Orleans defense also were fantastic, and arguably turned the game by recovering three fumbles, including two inside the Saints' own 20 yard line.
Even though there was a late rally by the Falcons, it was a matter of too little too late for Atlanta as they went down 21-31.
