GREEN BAY – Two first downs and this game is over. With the Packers clinging to a 21-16 lead over Minnesota during Sunday’s home opener at Lambeau Field, Aaron Rodgers and David Bakhtiari relayed that straightforward message to the other nine players in the huddle as Green Bay’s offense retook...

Whoever deserves more of the blame, it was another example of how the communication between the new head coach and the veteran quarterback remains a work in progress. A lot in that realm was on display Sunday. Rodgers wore a wristband with play calls on it to help with some of the plays...

4. The ground games: Minnesota’s got off to a great start in Week 1 with Cook going over 100 yards and rookie Alexander Mattison adding 49 more. Green Bay’s did not, as Aaron Jones and Jamaal Williams combined for just 39 rushing yards. The Packers are determined to get their run game going to...

RADIO Milwaukee’s WTMJ (620 AM), airing Green Bay games since November 1929, heads up the Packers Radio Network that is made up of 50 stations in four states. Wayne Larrivee (play-by-play), two-time Packers Pro Bowler Larry McCarren (analyst) and three-time Packers Pro Bowler and two-time...

Nick from Brodhead, WI What are the chances LeRoy Butler gets into the Pro Football Hall of Fame this year? If not this year, does he get in at all? I truly believe in my lifetime Butler will get in the Hall of Fame. He deserves to be in the same conversation as John Lynch, Steve Atwater and...

“My only ask is that we don’t do the wave when we’re on offense. Other than that, man, be as loud as you want from the start,” said Rodgers with a smile, while addressing reporters at his locker earlier this week. “We need it. We’ve been rolling here over the years in stretches and it’s a...

First, after the Bears put together their best and longest drive of the game, safety Adrian Amos picked off QB Mitch Trubisky in the end zone on third-and-10 from the Green Bay 16. Then, a four-and-out was capped by a sack in the final minute and a half, with the Bears unable to mount another...

Za’Darius (6-4, 272) and Preston (6-5, 265) possess similar builds and skill sets, which allows Pettine to move them all around the defensive front on third downs. The two ran several stunts together against the Bears, with one lined up off the edge and the other rushing from a three-point...

GREEN BAY – Coming to Sunday’s game at Lambeau Field? Bring your phone, you might need it to get in. As the Packers prepare to take on the Minnesota Vikings in Week 2, fans are reminded to update the Packers Mobile App for those using mobile tickets. For the easiest entry on gameday, it is...

Butler has reached the semifinalist stage in the past, the furthest any of the former Packers mentioned has advanced. The Hall of Fame is celebrating the NFL’s Centennial Season with a special 20-member induction class in 2020, but it will still include only five modern-era nominees. Ten...

[unable to retrieve full-text content]An illustrated look at the Packers' Week 2 game against Minnesota.

Anthony from San Antonio, TX I like Scott's (from Fredonia) suggestion about ties counting as losses. They could call it the "Winning isn't everything; it's the only thing" rule. As an added bonus, it would solve the overtime rule controversy; just eliminate overtime and watch teams...

Despite the Packers playing with a lighter box, Chicago mustered only 3.1 yards on 15 carries and didn’t have a rushing attempt of more than eight yards. All told, it was the fewest rushing yards Green Bay had allowed since conceding 43 yards to the New York Giants on Oct. 9, 2016. “I feel...

On being stout up front: The league has trended so much to spreading the field and getting three wide receivers. Most of the time in the past the response has been to go with a four-man front, two linebackers, and the secondary out there. But I know it can cause problems when they’re so used...

The Green Bay Packers signed G Ben Braden to the practice squad. The transaction was announced Thursday by General Manager Brian Gutekunst. Braden, a 6-foot-6, 329-pound second-year player, was originally signed as an undrafted free agent out of the University of Michigan by the New York Jets...

Goodson has been on a preparation fast-track since arriving just over a week ago. He met extensively with special teams coordinator Shawn Mennenga at the team hotel in Chicago to explain his role on different units. He also met with defensive coaches to go over any just-in-case scenarios from...

In some respects, Dave Robinson was the precursor of Lawrence Taylor, the outside linebacker by which all others in the NFL are measured still today. Both stood 6-foot-3, weighed roughly 240 pounds and ran the 40-yard dash in close to 4.6 seconds. However, they filled entirely different roles...

Kevin from Grand Rapids, MI I'm wondering if Elgton Jenkins played any snaps vs. the Bears? With the competition so tight going into Game 1, will we see him work in some snaps moving forward or do the coaches prefer to go with just the starting five as long as all are healthy? Once a...

Ken from Long Beach, CA Guys, in the past you have stated the difference between winning and losing is slim. Week 1 which was the “best team to lose” and the “worst team to win.” There are no tears allowed nor apologies necessary in the NFL, but the road efforts of the Colts and Texans in...

I really liked the double play action on the long (wobbly) pass to MVS. That big play is exactly what I envisioned this offense to look like when I heard who our new coach was and the tree he comes from. Is it your opinion based on the practices you have seen that this offense will look more...
