The Green Bay Packers are in the midst of a four-game winning streak.  Sitting at 8-8, the Packers have found themselves in a “win and in” scenario in Week 18.  A big storyline of the off-season was Za’Darius Smith being released by Green Bay, then eventually signing with the Minnesota Vikings.  Before the Packers’ and Vikings’ week one match-up, Za’Darius Smith talked a lot.   The Vikings got the best of the Packers in Week one winning 23-7.  Today the Packers returned the favor by beating down the Vikings 41-17.  Before the game Za’Darius Smith refused to shake Adrian Amos’ hand…

Randall Cobb has been as reliable as they come for the Packers throughout his career.  Cobb played college football at the University of Kentucky.  He was selected by the Packers in the second round of the 2011 NFL Draft.  He also played one season each for the Dallas Cowboys and Houston Texans during his career.  That was before Aaron Rodgers asked for him to come back to Green Bay.  Today against the Minnesota Vikings Randall Cobb joined exclusive company in the Packers’ Franchise.

Should the Green Bay Packers give Keisean Nixon a lifetime contract?  I think many Packers fans would contemplate that idea.  This man has single-handedly turned around the Packers’ special teams.  Specifically on kick returns.  In today’s game vs the Vikings Nixon took a kickoff return to the house.  Social media reacted accordingly to the massive play.
