Expect the Packers to play more base defense in Week 3

Expect the Packers to play more base defense in Week 3

Despite the Cleveland Browns being outscored in their first two games of the 2025 regular season, they really want to play 12 personnel football, with two tight ends on the field and only two receivers out wide. So far, their tight end usage is pretty staggering.

Their most-played tight end, David Njoku, has been on the field for 83 percent of offensive snaps so far this year. That’s more than any Browns offensive skill player other than quarterback Joe Flacco (95 percent), receiver Cedric Tillman (91 percent) and receiver Jerry Jeudy (88 percent).

Behind Njoku is rookie Harold Fannin, who...

Packers Film Room: Matthew Golden in Week 2

Packers Film Room: Matthew Golden in Week 2

After coming in as a much-ballyhooed first-round pick, Matthew Golden hasn’t exactly set the world on fire. After 2 catches for 16 yards in Week 1, his stat line looked even less full in Week 2: 2 carries for 15 yards and 0 catches on 2 targets.

But stats and film are two different things, so I wanted to take a look at what Golden did in Week 2 against the Commanders, and I’m going to make it your problem.

First things first: let’s just talk about the two carries he got. The speed and shiftiness is certainly on display,...

MNF Week 2 Doubleheader: Bucs-Texans & Chargers-Raiders

MNF Week 2 Doubleheader: Bucs-Texans & Chargers-Raiders

This evening, week 2 in the NFL comes to a close with a doubleheader on Monday Night Football. Tonight’s twin bill is the first of the season and starts off a stretch that will feature five doubleheaders in six weeks, with the schedule also featuring two games each in weeks 4, 6, and 7.

Thankfully for Green Bay Packers fans, this evening’s games have little impact on the green and gold, with three of the four participating teams being in the AFC and the fourth playing in the NFC South. In fact, none of these four teams are on the...

Packers Week 3 Opening Odds: Big favorites over Browns on the road

Packers Week 3 Opening Odds: Big favorites over Browns on the road

Through roughly two weeks of the 2025 NFL season, the Green Bay Packers look like one of the league’s very best teams. The Cleveland Browns…well, they do not. As a result, it should come as no surprise that the sportsbooks have installed the Packers as big favorites over Cleveland in the opening odds for the teams’ week 3 meeting, despite the game being played on the shores of Lake Erie.

According to Fanduel Sportsbook, the Packers have opened up as 8.5-point favorites over the Browns, which is the largest spread of any game on the week 3 schedule. The moneyline...

Joe Flacco will start versus Packers

Joe Flacco will start versus Packers

Toward the end of a 41-17 blowout against the Baltimore Ravens, the Cleveland Browns inserted third-round rookie quarterback Dillon Gabriel into the lineup in place of Joe Flacco. Gabriel led a scoring drive, going three of three for a touchdown, but that performance didn’t change the Browns’ mind about who their starting quarterback will be moving forward.

According to Cleveland head coach Kevin Stefanski, Flacco will be starting this week against the Green Bay Packers. So far this season, Flacco has thrown two touchdowns to three interceptions and has posted a 70.1 passer rating. For perspective, the only preferred starters...

Report: Joe Burrow to have to surgery

Report: Joe Burrow to have to surgery

ESPN’s Adam Schefter is reporting that Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow will have to undergo surgery to fix a turf toe injury that he suffered in Week 2. The recovery timeline of the surgery means that Burrow is doubtful to play football over the next three months.

The Green Bay Packers will face off against the Bengals in Week 6, following the Packers’ Week 5 bye. At this point, the favorite to start that game at quarterback for Cincinnati is Jake Browning, who beat the Jacksonville Jaguars this weekend but did so with just a 69.9 passer rating performance that...
