Where \"Draft and Develop\" isn't just a philosophy...it's a way of life.
The end of a Hall of Fame career is not always glorious. In fact, it often involves an iconic athlete playing out the string in an unfamiliar place for an unfamiliar team. Think Johnny Unitas with the San Diego Chargers or Brett Favre with the Minnesota Vikings. Think Emmitt Smith with the Arizona Cardinals. Think […]

The Green Bay Packers worked out only two players on Tuesday, with the surprise being that neither was a cornerback. At the moment, the Packers have just five cornerbacks on their 53-man roster, and the team no longer has a practice squad cornerback after the loss of Micah Robinson, who was poached by the Tennessee […]

When the Green Bay Packers won their last Super Bowl in 2010, the biggest in-season addition that the team made was the waiver claim of defensive lineman Howard Green, who helped the Packers get over the injury hump at the position. Green wound up starting in three of the Packers’ playoff games that year, even […]

The Green Bay Packers sit in the top spot in the NFC with a 5-1-1 record, but the margins are extremely thin right now. For example, had they lost to the Pittsburgh Steelers, that one extra loss would have dropped the Packers all the way down to the sixth seed in the NFC. One single […]

I’ll say that I didn’t feel great on Sunday night when the Green Bay Packers went into halftime down 16-7 to the Pittsburgh Steelers. The offense had looked pretty good up until that point, but some key drops on 3rd down led to some drives that had sputtered out. Then they outscored the Steelers 28-9 […]

This evening, the NFL brings its week 8 schedule to a close with a single game on Monday Night Football. Out of the 13 games across the NFL in week 8, eight of them featured cross-conference matchups. However, it was a brutal week for the NFC against AFC opponents, as NFC teams went just 1-6 […]

The Minnesota Vikings placed quarterback Carson Wentz on the injured reserve on Monday, due to a shoulder surgery that will end his 2025 campaign. Without Wentz, the 3-4 Vikings are left with just J.J. McCarthy, who is coming off “an ankle injury,” and undrafted rookie Max Brosmer at the position. With the open roster spot […]

Green Bay Packers kicker Brandon McManus missed his first two field goal attempts on Sunday Night Football against the Pittsburgh Steelers this week, leading to questions about whether he was 100 percent for the game.

The Tennessee Titans traded slot cornerback Roger McCreary to the Los Angeles Rams earlier today, which left Tennessee with a void at the position on its 53-man roster. To make up for the cornerback out, the Titans plucked rookie seventh-round pick Micah Robinson off the Green Bay Packers’ practice squad. This is the second time […]

In Week 7, Carolina Panthers quarterback Bryce Young injured his ankle against the New York Jets, forcing backup Andy Dalton into the game to finish out the 13-6 Panthers win. Last week, without Young, Carolina was smoked by the Buffalo Bills to the tune of 40-9. Now, the Panthers are hoping that Young will return […]

The NFL’s Most Valuable Player award is essentially a quarterback honor in modern days. Generally, the award goes to a quarterback who leads his team to a playoff spot by putting up gaudy numbers and delivering in big moments on national television, with additional weight being placed on the games down the stretch in the […]

It was a night of reunions as the Green Bay Packers traveled to Pittsburgh to take on their former franchise QB, Aaron Rodgers, and the Steelers. It had all the makings of a highly anticipated game: both teams are at the top of their respective divisions, both starting QBs are having good seasons, and we […]

Christian Watson isn’t a particularly difficult player to understand. He’s big, he’s fast, and he actually has become a reliable catcher of the football after some rookie scuffles in that department. Metric after metric shows how important he has been, for years, in helping the Green Bay Packers beat man coverage. When he went out […]

Last week, Arizona Cardinals quarterback Jacoby Brissett said that Green Bay Packers fans making the trip out west forced the Cardinals’ offense to have to use their silent count at home. This isn’t anything new for the Packers, one of the bigger fan bases in the league, but it does seem to be a recurring […]

The Green Bay Packers made one clear benching against the Pittsburgh Steelers, while they opened up competitions at two other positions. On top of that, the team returned receiver Christian Watson and defensive tackle Devonte Wyatt from injury. So how do all of these pieces of the puzzle fit in?

As far as made-up holidays go, National Tight End Day isn’t too bad. At the position, there were some standout performances in Week 8, but none matched Green Bay Packers tight end Tucker Kraft’s seven receptions for 143 yards and two touchdowns. Want to know something even more impressive than Kraft’s raw stat line? 131 […]

It didn’t end up mattering at the end, but for the first half of the Green Bay Packers’ win over the Pittsburgh Steelers, it looked like kicker Brandon McManus was going to cost them the game.

Going into Week 8, the NFC had a 25-13 record against the AFC during the 2025 season, a win percentage of 66 percent. For perspective, that was a higher win rate for the NFC than in any NFL season previously, outside of 1970 — the first year of the NFL-AFL merger. This week, though, the […]

During his time with the Green Bay Packers, quarterback Aaron Rodgers made his belt celebration famous. So famous that opposing defenders often mimic the celebration on sacks and interceptions. Rodgers usually got the last laugh, though, as the Packers frequently won games when defenders decided to bust out “The Belt.” That didn’t stop Green Bay […]
