Matt LaFleur is concerned about the health of one player for Sunday Matt LaFleur seems worried about the status of one Green Bay Packers player before their Week 18 game. The Packers want to have as many healthy options as possible against the red-hot Detroit Lions. The Lions, who beat the Packers earlier in the season, stand in the Packers’ way of reaching the playoffs for the fourth-straight season.  If the Packers can beat the Lions Sunday night, they’ll clinch a Wild Card spot. The Lions, who are 8-4 since the Packers traveled to Detroit in early November, can reach…

A Vikings coach wasn’t happy about players falling last week A Minnesota Vikings coach appeared to be irritated Thursday about his players slipping at Lambeau Field in Week 17. The Vikings had trouble keeping their footing against the Green Bay Packers in a frustrating loss for Minnesota. The Packers didn’t have the same issues staying up in adverse conditions on the field. And that was part of the difference that allowed the Packers to blowout the Vikings 41-17.  https://twitter.com/LukeBraunNFL/status/1610431115118141441 The Vikings’ struggles on the field had Minnesota fans offering up illogical conspiracy theories that the Packers’ field crews purposely sabotaged…

Marcedes Lewis plays a limited role Marcedes Lewis plays a position that’s thought of as a role for pass-catchers. However, Lewis banked his career on being a blocker. Lewis hasn’t been a target for quarterback Aaron Rodgers much at all. At 38 years old, he’s having his second-lowest year in total receiving yards, with just 66 heading into Week 18. (He does have two touchdown catches this season.) The Packers are using his skills to their advantage this season. He had a big catch against the Miami Dolphins on Christmas Day. Packers offensive coordinator Adam Stenavich compared Lewis to how…

Part of the change in the Packers’ momentum came after he and the coaching staff changed personnel on special teams. Keisean Nixon has been unstoppable in the return game for the Packers. LaFleur admitted recently that he should have put Nixon in that position earlier in the season.  Nixon is quickly becoming the best return man in the league. His touchdown against the Minnesota Vikings helped the Packers take a lead they wouldn’t relinquish. Nixon is having a big…

Aaron Rodgers talks about a Lions player Aaron Rodgers has a good memory. That’s part of what makes him an elite quarterback. He remembers Green Bay Packers players long after they’ve left the team. Earlier this week, Rodgers talked about a former Packers player who’s currently on the Detroit Lions. Jamaal Williams caught the attention of Matt LaFleur this week before Packers take on the Lions. In Wednesday’s press conference, LaFleur talked about Williams and what he means to the Lions team. He thinks the running back is “severely underrated.” He’s not the only Packer with good things to say…

He averaged just 3.4 yards per…

Aaron Rodgers is hoping for a postseason run Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers are on the cusp of reaching the playoffs. That would have seemed unfathomable after their loss to the Philadelphia Eagles on Thanksgiving weekend. But the Packers have won every game since. They’ve gotten help with some losses from the Washington Commanders. They control their fate on Sunday Night Football against the Detroit Lions. Rodgers spoke about the Packers’ chances in the playoffs this season. During his weekly appearance on The Pat McAfee Show, Rodgers compared this team to the 2010 Packers squad that won the…
