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...

The Green Bay Packers and Denver Broncos have played each other 16 times in the two franchises’ history heading into this Sunday’s game, which will be number 17. The most significant game in this cross-conference matchup came in Super Bowl XXXII, when the Broncos famously upset the Packers, but that is hardly the most interesting historical tidbit about the games played between these two teams.

Instead, what is fascinating is the home/road split in the 15 regular season games. On Sunday, the Packers will look to win on the road, something that has happened just once in those prior 15...

The Green Bay Packers’ offense was mired in quite a slump just a few weeks ago. Even with tight end Tucker Kraft on the field, the unit was not playing up to its potential. Kraft was the team’s YAC machine, picking up chunks of yardage after the catch to spark some big plays. But one thing that just wasn’t quite working yet was Jordan Love connecting with his wide receivers on deep passes.

A few deep shots to Matthew Golden stand out, with Love being just slightly unable to connect with his rookie wideout. But since Christian Watson returned to...

I know we just did this with the Chicago Bears, but I always have the Bears on fraud watch because they’re the Bears. The Denver Broncos, to my casual AFC eye, seem pretty good. Their defense seems to be for real, and while I don’t really care for Bo Nix as a quarterback, I’ve always felt like he is at least careful with the ball, and he has Courtland Sutton to rely on in desperate situations. The Broncos being legitimately good seems perfectly reasonable, especially since one of my few actual memories of the season is Denver losing to Indy...

The title of this article is a question that has been floating around the Green Bay Packers sphere over the past couple of weeks, as Packers receiver Christian Watson already has 452 receiving yards and five touchdowns over his seven games since being activated from the injured reserve. For those who need a reminder: Before Watson ever returned to the field from his 2024 ACL tear, Watson signed a one-year, $11 million extension with the Packers — somewhat of a gamble for both sides.

On Green Bay’s end, it was uncertain how Watson, who wouldn’t be medically cleared to return...

The Green Bay Packers have been wearing their white helmets throughout practice this week, a signal that they’re going to suit up in their Winter Warning uniforms for the third time this season. Previously, the Packers wore their white helmets and pants against the Washington Commanders and Pittsburgh Steelers, games that Green Bay won.

If you only watched primetime games this season, you’d think this is the Packers’ base uniform, as they’ve won it in two of their three night games (the only exception was their normal home uniforms against the Philadelphia Eagles). Outside of the [West Coast, Houston, Indianapolis...

With four weeks remaining in the NFL’s 2025 regular season, it’s time to start scoreboard watching in earnest. That is especially true for Green Bay Packers fans, with their team sitting in the #2 spot in the NFC and being surrounded by a cluster of 9-4 and 10-3 teams across the conference.

Green Bay’s big task this weekend is, of course, to beat the Denver Broncos on Sunday afternoon. Doing so would ensure that they will remain ahead of the Chicago Bears in the NFC North standings before the teams’ big rematch next Saturday evening. However, Chicago also plays this...
