The Green Bay Packers have to know there’s a ton on the line in their Week 14 matchup with the Detroit Lions. The Packers have long been the kings of the NFC North, but that’s a title that the Lions have outright stolen from them. The Lions, at 11-1, are threatening to run away with […]

The Green Bay Packers improved to 9-3 on the season after dominating the Miami Dolphins defense in a 30-17 victory on Thanksgiving. Green Bay has won three straight games and seven of the last eight. Running back Josh Jacobs has helped power the Packers win streak with five touchdowns in the last three games. Jacobs […]

This is “the game” for the Green Bay Packers. That’s not saying that their season will be over if they don’t beat the Detroit Lions in Week 14, because that’s not true. They’re 9-3 and undoubtedly one of the top teams in the NFC. Falling to 9-4 would hurt, but with games against the Seattle […]

The Green Bay Packers face their biggest game of the season when they go to Detroit Thursday night to face the streaking Detroit Lions. The Lions have won 10 games in a row and have an NFC-best record of 11-1, but they have been hit with a slew of injuries on the defensive side of […]

The Green Bay Packers flexed their muscles in their Thanksgiving Night victory at Lambeau Field over the Miami Dolphins.

The Packers (9-3) appear to be rolling with […]

Lost in the shuffle of the dominance of the Detroit Lions, Saquon Barkley’s MVP campaign in Philadelphia, and surprising first-half-of-the-season starts for the Minnesota Vikings and Washington Commanders, the Green Bay Packers are quietly among the NFL’s best teams, sitting at 9-3 with the league’s 4th-best point differential. On Thanksgiving night, the Packers made yet […]

Already playing without star cornerback Jaire Alexander, the Green Bay Packers defense suffered another blow Thursday night with the injury to Corey Ballentine. However, hero Robert Rochell got a game ball for the Packers’ win over the Dolphins after recently losing two partners to tragedy. The fourth-year cornerback made a big special-teams play, beating a […]

The Green Bay Packers put it on the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday, cruising to a 38-10 win over their NFC rivals to move to 8-3 on the season. With this win, the Packers solidified their position as a clear playoff contender in the NFC and the 49ers’ season now feels on the brink of […]

The Green Bay Packers dismantled the San Francisco 49ers 38-10 in Week 12 and head coach Matt LaFleur was beyond impressed. The 8-3 had impressive play everywhere, but especially from running back Josh Jacobs and safety Xavier McKinney. Both players made an immediate impact, that was needed in the 2024 NFC Divisional matchup. When Jacobs […]

The Green Bay Packers will be without two key defensive players in their Week 12 matchup against the San Francisco 49ers. Cornerback Jaire Alexander and linebacker Edgerrin Cooper have been ruled out due to injuries, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter.

The Green Bay Packers survived a fourth quarter comeback by Caleb Williams and the Chicago Bears to steal a win in Week 11. Chicago’s rookie passer orchestrated a seven-play, 42-yard drive in the final three minutes of the game that set the Bears up for a game-winning, 46-yard kick. But Williams’ heroics were ruined by […]

This is a rivalry with 73 total meetings, and the Packers boast a […]

The Green Bay Packers got another win over the Chicago Bears and in the NFL, and especially against a rival, you don’t apologize for that. Head coach Matt LaFleur was clear after the Week 11 win that he didn’t care if it was by one point or 100. “We’ll never apologize for winning. It wasn’t […]

The Green Bay Packers barely squeaked past the Chicago Bears in Week 11, as they needed a missed game-winning field goal from Cairo Santos as time expired in the fourth quarter to allow them to walk away with the win. Of course, the Packers made some plays themselves to ensure they’d win this game, with […]

The Green Bay Packers have been tormenting the Chicago Bears for decades. Going into the Week 11 game between the two ancient rivals at Soldier Field, the Packers had beaten the Bears 10 consecutive times. That losing streak grew to 11 as the Packers hung on for a 20-19 victory when Matt LaFleur’s team blocked […]

While fans of the Chicago Bears have undoubtedly turned on their own team over the past few weeks, when the Green Bay Packers come to Soldier Field on Sunday afternoon, the boo-birds will shift their focus to the players in Green and Yellow… at least out of the gate. That means banged-up Packers quarterback Jordan […]

Jordan Love and the Green Bay Packers offense has been getting the headlines all season because it has been a roller-coaster affair. When Love looks good, the Packers are extremely explosive on offense with perhaps the best young core of weapons in the league. When he looks bad, though? Well, the Packers have had moments […]

It already feels like the Green Bay Packers have had a season full of highs and lows, as well as drama. The fact of the matter, though, is that at 6-3 and heading into their bye week, they’re now starting to look ahead to the second half of the 2024 season. The Packers have a […]

The Green Bay Packers are 6-3, and all things considered, they’re having a pretty good season so far. The issue in Green Bay is that “pretty good” is only acceptable for so long. This is a fanbase that came into the 2024 NFL season expecting the Packers to be a Super Bowl contender, and so […]

Green Bay Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst gave a major update on the status of running back MarShawn Lloyd.

The Green Bay Packers dropped to 6-3 in the 2024 NFL season following their loss to the division rival Detroit Lions at Lambeau Field on Sunday afternoon. A costly pick-six interception from quarterback Jordan Love proved especially disastrous for the Packers. On second-and-2 from their own 38-yard line, Love aimed for Josh Jacobs, but the […]

It’s the biggest game of the Week 9 NFL slate and there’s reason to believe that the winner of this initial matchup between the Detroit Lions (6-1) and Green Bay Packers (6-2) will go a long way toward determining who wins the NFC North. In 2024, the winner of the NFC North has a very […]

The Green Bay Packers survived a late Jacksonville Jaguars rally on Sunday afternoon to escape Duval county with a 30-27 win. The big story coming out of the game will likely be the apparent groin injury that knocked quarterback Jordan Love out of the game and forced early-season hero Malik Willis back into action. However, […]

Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur shed some light on Robert Saleh’s new role with the team.

The Green Bay Packers need Jordan Love to become the Jordan Love of the end of the 2023 season in Week 8 against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Simply put, it’s time for Love to put it all together. So far this season, he’s had one truly all-around game. That was in Week 6 against the Arizona […]

The Green Bay Packers are among the few teams in the NFL that could be described as one player away that would stand to benefit from a trade deadline deal. They’re well-documented as a young team, but that doesn’t mean they’re not serious contenders in the NFC and across the league. In a crowded and […]

The Green Bay Packers got Christian Watson back in the lineup on Sunday after he missed one game with an ankle sprain, and the offense was humming.

Heading into Week 5 down Romeo Doubs, Jaire Alexander, Christian Watson, and Devonte Wyatt, Matt LaFleur and the Green Bay Packers knew that they would need to find some big plays from all over their roster, as Jordan Love, Jayden Reed, and Josh Jacobs couldn’t do it all on their own. Fortunately, plenty of Packers […]

Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur doesn’t anticipate having the same problem with wide receiver Romeo Doubs in Week 6, per NFL insider Ian Rapoport. It came out that Doubs’ absence from team practices, which was simply listed as personal, actually had to do with frustrations with his role. Following a meeting with the […]

Jordan Love had to overcome some adversity when the Green Bay Packers faced the Los Angeles Rams in Week 5, as he threw a bad pass that ended up turning into a pick-six. That didn’t affect Love, as he threw two touchdowns after that and led the Packers to a win. After the game, head […]
