EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. – Well, the Packers have been here before.

They've had their share of rough games in 2023 and rebounded. Their most recent recovery had produced three straight wins, two over first-place teams, to get back to .500.

But after not handling success all that well, they're back to handling adversity again with their playoff lives at stake over the season's last four games.

"It's the same thing we've talked about all season," quarterback Jordan Love said after a very disheartening 24-22 defeat to the Giants at MetLife Stadium.

"How do we bounce back? How do we respond? Showing up to work next week with a clean slate, ready to go, get ready for Tampa Bay."

It'll be on a short week, to boot, with less recovery and preparation time before the Buccaneers, one of five teams in the NFC in addition to the Packers sitting at 6-7 and trying to squeeze into the playoffs, visit Lambeau Field.

While the coaches hustle to put together a game plan Tuesday and the players get that one chance to catch their breath, all the focus will be forward.
