The AFC North and NFC North will meet in a intra-conference clash when the Cincinnati Bengals (0-2) head to Lambeau Field to take on the Green Bay Packers (1-1). The festivities will be broadcasted for regional audiences on FOX. The last time the two teams met was in 2013 where the Pack defeated the Cats by a score of 34-30. Heading into the contest, both teams enter on losses. For Cincinnati, losing has been an epidemic. The Bengals have now lost their last five overall. Their most recent defeat came at the hands of a sloppy clash on a Thursday night game between Cincy and Houston. As for the Packers, Green Bay comes in off a let-down loss when they fell 34-23 in Atlanta against the Hawks. Atlanta was the same team that defeated Green Bay in the NFC Championship Game, last year. Needless to say, Matty Ice and company have been a perpetual thorn in the side of the Packers. For Cincinnati, they kicked off their 2017 campaign with tumult as they were ravaged by a score of 20-0 at home when they hosted divisional rival Baltimore.
