What happened: ESPN analyst Dan Orlovsky broke down the schematic challenge facing the Green Bay Packers against the New England Patriots, noting New England's defense forces opponents to play at a slower pace. Orlovsky also singled out the disruptive front-seven play of rookie edge rusher Gabe Jacas.

Why it matters: Green Bay defeated the Carolina Panthers 27-19 on Oct. 29, leaning on quarterback Jordan Love to dictate offensive tempo. The upcoming matchup hinges on whether the Packers can maintain passing rhythm against New England's pass rush.

What to watch: Green Bay will look to neutralize pressure off the edge when the teams meet.
