Latest news and updates about the Packers
On Sunday, Green Bay Packers defensive end Micah Parsons set a career-high with three sacks in the Packers’ 27-23 victory over the Arizona Cardinals.

The Packers’ win over the Cardinals has spawned no end of takes. It was a very Rorschach test of a game — people see what they want to see. Without weighing in on the overall quality of the game or the win, here’s my perspective: this was a game where the Packers’ best players made […]

It’s probably not going to happen for him this year, because of Bill Belichick joining the pool of coaching candidates, but former Green Bay Packers head coach Mike Holmgren has advanced to the group of 12 for the Pro Football Hall of Fame’s coaching candidates going into the next stage of Class of 2026 voting.

Even though the Green Bay Packers continue to win football games to the tune of the NFC-leading record going into Week 8, national analysts don’t seem to be buying the hype around the team. In fact, in the 11 power rankings that we’ve been tracking, the Packers actually fell in 7 of them, were unmoved […]

Head coach Mike Tomlin noted that wide receiver Calvin Austin will return to practice and that they are “optimistic” about him suiting up in Week 8 against the Green Bay Packers.

The Steelers will host the Green Bay Packers on Sunday night, marking the first time that Aaron Rodgers has faced his former team since being traded to the New York Jets in 2023. The Steelers have luckily had a relatively clean bill of health over the last couple weeks, and it looks as if they […]

Sorry, Matt LaFleur, this week’s game is at least a little bit about Aaron Rodgers. The Packers’ head coach can downplay the fact that the guy who won four MVPs and a Super Bowl with the Packers is now on the opposing sideline, but it doesn’t detract from the significance of the matchup. Rodgers is […]

Matt LaFleur has come under fire in the last couple of years for some of his decision-making on 4th down. The Shanahan tree guys had always been more conservative on 4th down than I would have thought (given how forward-thinking they are about offensive football), but LaFleur seemed to buck that trend early on, only […]

By playoff seeding, the Detroit Lions are currently holding the five spot. Technically, the Green Bay Packers lead the division (and conference) with their 4-1-1 record, because a tie counts as a half win and 4.5 wins in six games is a better win percentage than five wins in seven games. But playoff seeding is […]

The Green Bay Packers are dealing with a couple of injuries, none bigger than the loss of defensive end Lukas Van Ness, who is dealing with a foot issue.

Lucas Havrisik is obviously one of the better stories of a frustrating Green Bay Packers season. Added to the roster the day before the Packers’ win over the Cincinnati Bengals, Havrisik just connected on the longest made field goal in the history of a 100-plus-year club. Mind you, he was planning on becoming a substitute […]

Just in case you thought you were hallucinating yesterday’s performance against the Arizona Cardinals, I decided to look at the […]

It may not go down as the play of the year, but Lucas Havrisik’s 61-yard field goal is definitely one of the most unlikely. As recently as two weeks ago, Havrisik’s kicking career had stalled and his substitute teaching career had yet to take off. Now he’s a freshly minted Packers record holder, having booted […]
