What happened: Dan Orlovsky assessed the state of the Green Bay Packers and New England Patriots with a brief evaluation: 'It’s an issue.' Both clubs enter November at 5-3 following recent victories.

Why it matters: Green Bay sits at No. 7 in the NFC playoff picture after a 27-19 victory over the Carolina Panthers. New England holds the AFC's No. 7 seed after topping the Miami Dolphins 24-19, keeping both squads in postseason position despite narrow margins.

What to watch: Both teams look to protect their wild-card positioning as the regular season enters the second half.
