    Mike's Mid-Week Chat: How close is the Packers' offense?

    If our offense has another performance where we score one quarter but no don't score for the remaining three, will there be legitimate cause for concern with three games in a row with not playing a full game of offense? Sure. LaFleur certainly would like more consistency, but you have to...

    Jaire Alexander, Kevin King won’t back down from a challenge

    “I think he's a complete football player,” said LaFleur of Alexander. “He brings it. A lot of corners, they don't like to get dirty. He'll bring it, in the run game as well. We feel comfortable putting him on the outside, locking somebody down.” King saw his playing time ramp up in Week 2...

    Inbox: Creativity is his calling card

    Ryan from Somerset, WI Darnell Savage has been incredibly impressive. The “Peanut” punch that forced a fumble on Kirk Cousins is such an instinctive play that I feel is so hard to teach! Also, excellent play to break up the pass that led to Preston Smith's interception! He's the real deal! I...

    What You Might’ve Missed: Limiting a nemesis

    GREEN BAY – It’s rare when Everson Griffen isn’t talked about much after a Packers-Vikings game. After all, in the defensive end’s previous 16 games against Green Bay, dating back to 2011, he had recorded 11½ sacks. Not a bad “season” against a rival. But Griffen didn’t have a sack in the...

    A lot went into Packers’ game-clinching first down

    The first down was the second in a row for the offense after taking over possession with 3:14 to play and protecting a 21-16 lead. The first came a 13-yard gain by running back Aaron Jones on a well-blocked zone run to the right on which Jones found a huge cut-back lane to his left. Jones then...

    Packers’ defense keeps its swagger in face of adversity

    Those were the last points Green Bay would concede, forcing back-to-back punts before Lowry pressured Cousins into throwing an interception to Packers cornerback Kevin King in the corner of Green Bay’s end zone.

    Packers ‘didn’t blink’ as defense preserves another close win

    “They made some adjustments, and we did as well, but we just didn’t execute,” Rodgers said. “We had some chances. They tightened up.” Minnesota defenders successfully knocked away several contested passes to keep the Packers from generating another scoring drive, but Green Bay’s defense was...
