Green Bay Packers, Jaire Alexander, Aaron Rodgers

The Green Bay Packers have been in the news heavy when it comes to star defensive back Jaire Alexander in recent weeks. He was suspended for the Week 17 matchup against the Minnesota Vikings due to multiple reasons, with one being that he forced his way onto the field as a captain in Week 16 against the Carolina Panthers. It was a strange situation, but now fans are hoping to have him back for Week 18 against the Chicago Bears. Alexander has been a massive piece for the Packers’ defense for years. He has also been one of the most…

Wisconsin Badgers Luke Fickell lands LB Jahsiah Galvan

While the Wisconsin Badgers didn’t finish the 2023 NCAA football season the way they would have wanted, it was a good all-around season. At the end of the day, they ended up falling to the LSU Tigers by a final score of 35-31 in the RequiaQuest Bowl. Granted, there were major frustrations throughout the course of the season. It’s hard not to feel like Wisconsin left something out on the field. But, the program is on a good course and have an opportunity to take another step next season.

Green Bay Packers, Minnesota Vikings, Jordan Love

No one can argue against the fact that Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love has been looking like a potential superstar in the second half of the 2023 NFL season. After a brutal start to the year, he has figured things out and has shown no signs of slowing down. Now, he has the Packers just one win away against the Chicago Bears in Week 18 away from the playoffs. At one point this season, the national media was calling for the Packers to consider a quarterback change. The media was already ready to write him off as a failure…

Green Bay Packers, Jaire Alexander

Matt LaFleur and the Green Bay Packers are preparing for a redemption game that stems back to Week 18 of last season. In that game last year, the Packers fell to the Detroit Lions when a win would have put them into the playoffs. Now, they have a chance at a win-and-in matchup with the Chicago Bears at Lambeau Field. Prior to this week’s game, the Packers know that they need to play well defensively. Justin Fields and the Bears’ offense has been playing much better in recent weeks. They are fresh off of a 37-17 dominant win over the…

Tucker Kraft, Green Bay Packers

The Green Bay Packers have not been a team that drafts offensive players in the first round of an NFL Draft. That didn’t change last offseason, but the franchise did add some key offensive pieces. In that draft class, they were able to land Luke Musgrave, Jayden Reed, and Tucker Kraft. While fans were perplexed about drafting two tight ends instead of focusing heavier on the wide receiver position, the moves have paid off for Green Bay. Maybe Brian Gutekunst actually does know a thing or two about running a football team after all. Kraft has ended up taking on…

Dalvin Cook, Green Bay Packers

While the Green Bay Packers seem fairly set from a roster perspective heading into Week 18 action against the Chicago Bears, Brian Gutekunst and company are always looking for ways to improve. One possible way to improve may have revealed itself when the New York Jets decided to release veteran running back Dalvin Cook on Tuesday. Cook simply did not work out with the Jets this season after signing during free agency. He never got consistent carries behind Breece Hall and it was clear that the two sides would part ways. There are quite a few teams around the NFL…

Royce O'Neal, Milwaukee Bucks

The Milwaukee Bucks are fresh off of a tough loss to the Indiana Pacers on Monday night to begin the New Year. It was an unfortunate loss, but a hard-fought game nonetheless. They will have a chance for revenge against the Pacers on Wednesday night in Indiana. With that being said, the Bucks are still currently one of the top potential NBA Finals contenders in the league. After the loss to the Pacers, they still hold a 24-9 record, which is good enough for the No. 2 seed in the Eastern Conference. Ahead of the upcoming 2023-24 NBA trade deadline,…

Justin Fields, Green Bay Packers

The Green Bay Packers and Chicago Bears are set for a major showdown in Week 18 NFL action. With the NFL playoffs on the line for the Packers, taking care of business is crucial. However, the Bears would love nothing more than to ruin the season and eliminate Green Bay from playoff contention, even though they themselves have already been eliminated. Amid the rough season and disappointment of being eliminated for the Bears, they are also trying to decide which direction to head in as a franchise. Justin Fields has been rumored as a potential trade candidate this coming offseason.…

Jordan Love, Aaron Jones, Green Bay Packers

The Green Bay Packers’ offense has been clicking on all cylinders behind the stellar play of Jordan Love and Aaron Jones. Both players have taken their game to a new level with the playoffs on the line over the last couple of weeks. Heading into a win-and-in situation against the Chicago Bears in Week 18, the Packers are going to need yet another big game from their star offensive duo. Early on this season, the media was all over Love and were calling for the Packers to move on from their young quarterback already. Clearly, the critics were wrong. Love…

Green Bay Packers, Bo Melton, Jordan Love

As the Green Bay Packers prepare for their win-and-in scenario against the Chicago Bears in Week 18 at Lambeau Field, there are a lot of teams battling for playoff positioning as well. While the Packers are fighting for the No. 7 seed in the NFC playoff picture, they also have a shot to move up and claim the No. 6 seed. Jordan Love and company have officially put themselves back on the map with an impressive run in the second half of the season. He has even worked his way into the borderline MVP conversation. With that in mind, the…
