The\u00a0Packers\u00a0fly out to Arizona on Sunday as heavy favorites to pick up a fourth win, one week ahead of taking on Aaron Rodgers and the AFC North-leading Steelers in Pittsburgh.<\/p>\n

On paper, this could be an opportunity for quarterback Jordan Love and rookie receiver Matthew Golden to bolster their already emerging chemistry, for Josh Jacobs to pedal down and continue being Green Bay\u2019s force multiplier on offense and perhaps even a chance for Micah Parsons and the pass rush to get right after a lackluster showing against Joe Flacco in a win over the Bengals.<\/p>\n

However, even the reeling Cardinals could pick themselves off the mat if they are able to capitalize on what has become a character flaw of head coach Matt LaFleur\u2019s team this season.<\/p>\n
