On Sunday afternoon, the Green Bay Packers put their NFC North lead on the line in the Mile High City. The Packers are in Colorado to play the Denver Broncos with both teams atop their respective divisions and holding top-2 seeds in their respective conferences.

Green Bay jumped into those positions last week with a crucial 28-21 victory over the Chicago Bears, vaulting them over the Bears for the lead in the North. Meanwhile, the Broncos have won 10 straight games after starting 1-2, they hold the AFC’s top spot, and they already sit within striking distance of clinching their...

According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the expectation is for Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs to play against the Denver Broncos on Sunday. Jacobs has only missed one game in his two years in Green Bay, but was a non-participant in both Wednesday’s and Thursday’s practices this week as he continues to deal with swelling in his knee from a knee bruise sustained against the New York Giants on November 16th.

Jacobs stated on Thursday that he felt better then than he did on Wednesday, but the root issue was a swelling problem. On Friday, he returned to practice...

Green Bay Packers defensive coordinator Jeff Hafley continually finds new ways to scheme up pressure in the last two seasons, primarily relying on different ways to rotate to two-deep coverage shell from a single high presentation.

He’s run the tampa-2 invert simulated pressure concept so often that one might think there isn’t any other way he could possibly find a new wrinkle in there. Well, there is. But it comes in the form of a 5-man pressure rather than a simulated pressure.

And Hafley isn’t using Micah Parsons on these play calls to rush the passer. Instead, he’s using Parsons...

The NFL has made its official judgment on the spat between Chicago Bears receiver Luther Burden III and Green Bay Packers cornerback Keisean Nixon from last Sunday. Clear as day on replay, Burden put his hands around Nixon’s neck, which led to Nixon pushing Burden off. In real time, referees only caught Nixon’s actions, resulting in a 15-yard penalty and a momentary benching. The NFL felt the blame was misplaced, though, as the league did not fine Nixon for his actions, while Burden was.

On Saturday, the league announced that Burden was fined $11,075 for “unnecessary roughness.” For perspective, Burden’s...

The Green Bay Packers’ running back situation just got a lot more interesting. Not only is starting running back Josh Jacobs questionable against the Denver Broncos with knee bruising, but backup ball-carrier Emanuel Wilson was just given a questionable status for the game because of an illness. If both miss the game, that would have left just blocking back Chris Brooks as the lone running back left on the team’s 53-man roster.

So on Saturday, after announcing the Wilson adjustment, the Packers also called up running back Pierre Strong Jr. from the practice squad up to the gameday roster. Green...

Awful Announcing, a website normally dedicated to spotlighting poor announcing, released a list of top local NFL announcers as voted on by their readers. They asked voters to grade announcing crews from an A to an F and provide comments to support their grades. Awful Announcing added up the scores and compiled the list into an article. Out of the 3,500 votes, the team that was #1 on the list was none other than the Green Bay Packers’ own Wayne Larrivee and Larry McCarren who have been leading the Packers radio network team for 27 years.

Larrivee and McCarren received...

The Green Bay Packers, quarterback Jordan Love, and head coach Matt LaFleur seemed to have all the answers they needed on Sunday to carve up the Chicago Bears and defensive coordinator Dennis Allen’s scheme.

However, this week’s contest against the Denver Broncos will feature a similar scheme with significantly better personnel for the Packers to try to beat.

Both Allen and Broncos defensive coordinator Vance Joseph like to lean on aggressive, man coverage principles to shut passing games down, but Denver is having significantly more success doing so. According to FTN Fantasy, the Broncos rank eighth in the NFL in...

The Green Bay Packers have only ruled out running back MarShawn Lloyd, defensive end Brenton Cox Jr. and defensive end Collin Oliver against the Denver Broncos after all members of the 53-man roster were available for practice on Friday. All three of the players the Packers ruled out are participating in practice in Green Bay, but are currently members of the team’s injury lists (either injured reserve or the physically unable to perform list).

The Packers will have one more week to decide on the fate of those players. If they aren’t activated to the 53-man roster next week, they...

NFL draft prospects have until January 14th to declare for the 2026 draft, but some of these players are already making their decisions clear. So far, 10 players have already declared for April’s draft, which is a fairly significant amount considering how few underclassmen have come out in recent years.

From 2019 to 2021, before the extra eligibility for Covid seasons, NIL payments and the transfer portal really started to kick in, the league averaged 126 underclassmen declarations per class. From 2023 t0 2025, though, that number dropped to just an average of 70, 56 fewer underclassmen per class and...

The Green Bay Packers are getting healthier on offense at the right time in the season. WR Christian Watson was brought back from IR in October, Jayden Reed returned from IR last week in their win over the Chicago Bears, and Dontayvion Wicks and Matthew Golden are slowly but surely healing from injuries that have plagued them the last few weeks. That being said, the wide receiver room is getting a little crowded. So much so that the Packers had to cut Malik Heath, a UDFA who’s been with the team since 2023, in order to activate Jayden Reed off...

The Packers don’t have a rich, extensive history with the Denver Broncos. Dating back to 1971, they’ve played the Broncos 16 times, and our Tex Western explored each of those 16 games (including disappointing Super Bowl XXXII) at a team level here.

But what are the best individual performances over those 16 games? Here’s a look at a few of them.

Most passing yards – 408 (Aaron Rodgers, 2011)

Over the course of this series, I’ve noticed that strong individual performances tend to correlate pretty well with MVP seasons. That’s the case with Aaron Rodgers here, as his 408 yards...

Former Green Bay Packers center Josh Myers, who was allowed to walk in free agency this offseason, has signed an extension with the New York Jets. Myers signed a one-year, $2 million contract in free agency, coming off an injury in the Packers’ playoff loss against the Philadelphia Eagles. Now, he’s set to make $11 million over two years in 2026 and 2027.

Myers was the 62nd overall pick in the 2021 draft and started for three and a half seasons in Green Bay. He’s started all 13 games that he’s been active for with the Jets in 2025.

The...
