Tonight’s Thursday Night Football game gets Week 10 of the NFL season underway with an AFC West rivalry matchup. Two teams headed in different directions will square off tonight as the division-leading Denver Broncos host the last-place Las Vegas Raiders in prime time.

The Broncos are in the midst of an impressive turnaround under head coach Sean Payton. Last year, they went 10-7 and made the playoffs with rookie quarterback Bo Nix, and in 2025 Denver is atop one of the better divisions with a 7-2 record. Last season saw Denver sweep the two games against the Raiders, with both...

Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur didn’t shy away from the idea of a kicking competition this week. As it stands right now, the Packers are the lone team in the NFL that carries two kickers on their active roster — Brandon McManus and Lucas Havrisik — which started in Week 6.

This year, Havrisik hit all 10 of his kicks (including PATs) in his two games of action, most notably his 61-yard franchise-breaking field goal against the Arizona Cardinals. Meanwhile, McManus, who was 50 of 51 last season (including PATs), has been dealing with a quad injury. Beyond...

Not all injury-related news has to be bad news, as tough as that may be to believe for Green Bay Packers fans this year. On Thursday, the Packers actually got four players back who were either injured in the team’s last game against the Carolina Panthers or missed the game entirely.

According to Packers.com’s Weston Hodkiewicz, receiver Matthew Golden (shoulder), receiver Dontayvion Wicks (calf), left guard Aaron Banks (stinger) and defensive tackle Colby Wooden (shoulder) were all participants in Green Bay’s padded practice today, even if only as limited participants. This left only receiver Savion Williams (unknown), defensive end Lukas...

It’s been a rough week for Green Bay Packers fans.

They fell to the Carolina Panthers in what can only be described as a trap game — an unfortunate specialty of head coach Matt LaFleur at this point. Then came the news that tight end Tucker Kraft—currently leading the team in receiving, YAC, and receiving touchdowns—was lost for the season due to a torn ACL.

Overall, it’s hard to remember a two-week stretch where sky high vibes plummeted so forcefully. Despite all that, there is room for optimism.

I mean, you could be a Vikings fan forced to root for...

I wanted to take a deeper dive into the data this week to learn something about the Green Bay Packers. On the surface, it doesn’t seem like Rashan Gary has been very effective this year, despite posting 7.5 sacks. For all the talk about how Gary was going to get more one-on-one opportunities with the addition of Micah Parsons, most of his highlight plays have been cleaning up someone else’s pressure, rather than actually disrupting passers himself.

Thankfully, NFL Pro actually makes a distinction between their pressures, giving us overall “pressures” and what they call “quick pressures,” which they define...

The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel’s Tom Silverstein wrote a great piece on Wednesday covering the Green Bay Packers, who are currently on the team’s injury lists. In it, he had the following to say about second-year, third-round running back MarShawn Lloyd:

“Lloyd has met with more specialists to help figure out imbalances in his body that may be causing the hamstring and groin injuries that have sidelined him.”

The Packers have a close relationship with UW-Madison, where the team sent both receiver Christian Watson and cornerback Eric Stokes to evaluate a series of injuries. [The university received $4 million from...

The trade deadline came and went without the Green Bay Packers making another big swing, but there are still a handful of holes that general manager Brian Gutekunst will need to address this offseason in order to be a legitimate contender in 2026 and beyond.

While the Packers don’t have a first-round pick in the 2026 NFL Draft due to the Micah Parsons trade, Gutekunst still has a handful of his precious draft picks to try and take some big swings at positions of need. Defensive line and cornerback remain top areas of need, but don’t sleep on the need...

I tell you, I’ve seen more frustrating games, but I really can’t remember when (Week 3 of this year, actually). Watching live, this felt like a game where the Green Bay Packers just kept shooting themselves in the foot, and I haven’t seen many stats since then that have suggested otherwise. Looking at this drive chart and it’s insane to think that the Packers only scored 13 points.

In this space, we’re focusing on the performance of the passing game, so let’s get to it.

That deep interception looms large in the outcome of the game (and we’ll get to...

Yesterday, it was revealed that the Green Bay Packers were interested in signing cornerback Asante Samuel Jr. Samuel was strategically waiting for after the trade deadline to land with a squad, as we reported:

Based on sources I’ve talked to, here’s the scenario. The Packers wanted to have Samuel on a visit, prior to him being cleared for action, in an effort to recruit him. Samuel’s camp told Green Bay that any visit would have to wait until after the trade deadline, as Samuel is hoping to land with a team where he can start immediately, so that he...

After going through the Green Bay Packers’ game against the Carolina Panthers a couple of times, I’ve had a few things stand out to me. Some of those things are good, and some are bad (that’s generally the way all games go). Today, I wanted to focus on something that was of particular interest to me: the gap scheme run game.

When Matt LaFleur came to Green Bay, he was known as a wide zone guy, and that was certainly true at the time. The run game was almost entirely based on zone running schemes, with a passing game built...

The Packers didn’t make any big moves to bolster their roster at this year’s trade deadline, but you’re a living Packers fan, so you’re not surprised by that.

True to form, the Packers will work to fix what ails them internally and with small moves that may become available. They’ll try to figure out what life after Tucker Kraft looks like with an assortment of internal options, and they’ll shore up whatever weaknesses they have elsewhere by rummaging through the bargain bin.

And, to be fair, this approach has worked before. Howard Green is the ultimate example, playing solid football...
