The zig-zagging continued this past week for the San Francisco 49ers, who have not won consecutive games since Weeks 2 and 3. That’s somewhat to be expected when you have a backup quarterback, are without your WR1 and TE1 for a good chunk, if not all of those games, and no longer have your two […]

Aaron Banks was supposed to be the key that unlocked the Packers’ ground game. A hulking 6-foot-5 and 325 pounds, Banks’ arrival courtesy of a four-year, $77 million contract was supposed to free up Elgton Jenkins to move to center while Banks held down the left guard spot. Neither of those moves has worked. Jenkins […]
