NFL Thursday Night Football this week sees two of the toughest and most successful teams of the last decade, as far as the NFC goes, face off. The Green Bay Packers set up to battle the Seattle Seahawks and the two teams both need a big win. The Packers sit at 4-4-1 and are third place in the NFC North. The Seahawks are 4-5 and sit in second place in the NFC West. There is almost no chance the Seahawks catch the Los Angeles Rams but need to stay in the Wildcard race. The Packers are still within shot of catching the Chicago Bears, though. Here are five players to watch in this big TNF game.
Aaron Rodgers
Aaron Rodgers ranks sixth in passing yards this season and he is as accurate as ever, with only one interception and 17 touchdowns.

Bobby Wagner
The Seahawks once great defense is shaky, ranked 17th against the run. Bobby Wagner will have to lead the defense in a strong effort to stop Green Bay.
