Green Bay Packers
One might expect that an NFL team that has the fewest losses in its conference and currently holds the #1 seed would inspire plenty of confidence in their fans and in the broader NFL community. For the Green Bay Packers, however, that is not yet the case.
To be sure, the Packers have been inconsistent through their first six games. Their offense is efficient but often flows in fits and starts. Their defense, while capable of making big plays, also allows them to the opposition too often and has yet to find its groove in forcing turnovers.
Plus, after their...

Get ready to wait all day for Sunday night.
Tonight, the Green Bay Packers and Pittsburgh Steelers will put a cap on a day of NFL football action, facing off against one another in a big prime time matchup. The two teams have a combined 8-3-1 record on the young season and each sit atop their respective divisions, making tonight’s game a good test for both sides.
Coming into Sunday, the Packers currently hold an edge in the eyes of the sportsbooks, holding about a field goal edge on the point spread. That is despite this game being the first...

In the last article, we covered the six defensive sacks in the Packers 27-23 week seven win over the Cardinals. While the sacks were impressive in their own way and helped the defense achieve the end result, a few of the sacks simply didn’t matter because of explosive pass plays given up on the same drive that led to Cardinals touchdowns.
The issue of explosive pass plays given up is a concerning trend that deserved monitoring to see how it would play out since the tie in Dallas. A bye week didn’t help clear up the issues as the Packers...

The Packers came from behind on Sunday to win 27-23 over the Cardinals, a game which they did not lead until late in the 4th quarter and the defense was both a burden at times and a savior at others.
The positive: the defense recorded six sacks and pressured quarterback Jacoby Brissett on 19 of his 46 dropbacks per Pro Football Focus, with one sack resulting in a fumble and recovery by the defense. They would have had seven sacks but a hip drop penalty negated a Micah Parsons sack, which would have given him four in the game instead...

The Green Bay Packers announced on Saturday that they have activated receiver Christian Watson from the physically unable to perform list. That gives the team much-needed breathing room at the receiver position going into their game against the Pittsburgh Steelers, and the lack of an elevation of a practice squad receiver probably means that rookie first-round pick Matthew Golden is going to play, too.
On Friday, here was what the Packers’ receiver depth chart looked like:

It’s game preview time, folks. Thanks to Behind the Steel Curtain, our sister site covering the Pittsburgh Steelers, and Ryland Bickley for answering a couple of questions going into this week’s Sunday Night Football matchup against the Green Bay Packers. If you want to read our answers to their questions, the corresponding article to this one, you can find that HERE.
Everyone and their mother is going to be talking about the Aaron Rodgers angle, so let’s start there.
**So, how is the whole Aaron Rodgers experience going? Going into the year, I thought there would be a bit more...

Ring the alarms. The Green Bay Packers’ receiver position is going to get very weird against the Pittsburgh Steelers. As it stands, following the Packers’ final injury report of the week, receiver Jayden Reed is on the injured reserve, Dontayvion Wicks (calf) has been ruled out and both Matthew Golden (hip) and Christian Watson (knee) have been listed as questionable going into the game.
That leaves the Packers with the following healthy receivers on their 53-man roster: Romeo Doubs, Malik Heath and Savion Williams. Heath was very much a roster bubble player at the cutdown deadline, while Williams, a rookie,...

So far in 2025, sportsbooks have installed the Green Bay Packers as favorites in all three of their road games. None of those games have ended with the Packers covering the spread, and the team has gone just 1-1-1 away from Lambeau Field so far this season.
That record will be put to the test again on Sunday night, when the Packers travel to face the Pittsburgh Steelers. Green Bay is favored once again in this game, with the spread sitting at 3 points as of Friday afternoon. So how do APC’s contributors see this game shaping up?
In short,...

Wait, the Green Bay Packers went down?! I mean, it wasn’t the best win ever, but it was still a win, right?
Yes, it was, and the Packers are still third overall, which is very good! But it wasn’t the most convincing win while the Lions were beating the stuffings out of a good, fun Buccaneers team. Green Bay is still good on efficiency metrics where they’re sixth in DVOA (Detroit is second) and fifth in EPA (Detroit is fourth), but the scouts at PFF and the betting markets are starting to notice that, well, the Lions look quite a...

The Green Bay Packers are beat up at the wide receiver position, and that might mean a real opportunity to see what rookie wideout Savion Williams is capable of this Sunday.
Heading into a Week 8 Sunday Night Football showdown against the Pittsburgh Steelers, the Packers will be without Jayden Reed, who continues to rehab from foot and collarbone injuries, and Dontayvion Wicks, who will miss Sunday’s game with an ankle issue that’s forced him to leave multiple games early this season.
Packers fans are hopeful that Christian Watson will make his season debut after recovering from a torn ACL,...
