Packers add Christine Michael going into game against Redskins

This week, the Redskins opponent will be the Green Bay Packers. The Packers are 4-5 and really struggling right now. Last week, they lost to the Titans 47-25. The Redskins have a 5-3-1 record and are coming off a 26-20 win over the Vikings.

Going into this game, I was thinking it would be an easy one for the Redskins, but my thoughts changed after I found out about Christine Michael being signed by the Packers. I have no idea why the Seahawks would want to let go of Michael, but it was probably because of the performance of C.J. Prosise on Sunday night against the Patriots. Prosise had 66 rushing yards and 7 receptions for 87 receiving yards. Prosise is a very versatile running back. And the fact that Thomas Rawls is close to coming back from his injury, put Michael in a bad position.

The Packers have been struggling a lot in the run game, so Michael is a perfect fit for them. The Redskins have had trouble stopping the run this year, so Michael might give the Redskins defense some problems.

The reason why the Packers offense hasn't been able to get going early in games is because they didn't have a true running back. They became too predictable and they started to have to come from behind in games. Now with Michael, their offense will be unpredictable, and once again dangerous. I have a feeling Aaron Rodgers will have a big game this weekend.

Also, a big part of why the Packers have been losing, is because of Clay Matthews being out consecutive games. He is a big part of that Packers defense. This week he will be returning and will probably help out the defense a lot.

The last time the Redskins played the Packers was in the playoffs last year. The Packers won 35-18, in a come from behind win. The Redskins will definitely be looking for revenge this time around, and I think they will get it.
