Highlighting Packers’ 5 primetime games on 2022 schedule
The Green Bay Packers will once again play the maximum of five primetime games during the 2022 regular season. The official schedule arrived Thursday night, revealing which games the Packers will play under the brightest of lights this season.
The Packers have been dazzling in primetime over the last two seasons, winning all 10 regular season games. Matt LaFleur’s team was 5-0 in 2020 and 5-0 again in 2021, with six total wins of at least 10 points.
Here’s a quick look at the Packers’ primetime games in 2022:
Week 2: vs. Chicago Bears on "Sunday Night Football"
