Even ugly wins qualify as wins. The Green Bay Packers pulled out an ugly 24-16 win over the Carolina Panthers on Saturday night. The Green Bay offense produced 145 rushing yards from Aaron Jones and only 143 passing yards from Aaron Rodgers, but Green Bay was able to ride a dominant first half to remain in possession of the NFC’s number one seed.
Aaron Rodgers and Davante Adams are unstoppable. Rodgers is breaking records, some of which he held previously, and Adams is somehow playing better than he ever has before. The Green Bay Packers offense has officially passed the Kansas City Chiefs with the highest offensive DVOA in the NFL, and Rodgers passed Patrick Mahomes as the most efficient quarterback in the NFL.
Coming into the 2020-21 NBA season, ESPN’s official power rankings listed the Golden State Warriors as the 13th best team in the NBA. Whether or not Steph Curry and the new-look Warriors saw the rankings, their energy and performance in training camp indicate that they will perform better than 13th.
The Green Bay Packers are officially the NFC North Champions and are in control of their own destiny. With their 31-24 victory over the Detroit Lions, and losses from the Minnesota Vikings and New Orleans Saints today, the Packers are division champions and the number one seed in the NFC.
With the amount of history made in Lambeau Field last Sunday evening, Aaron Rodgers decided to continue the train this Sunday afternoon against the Philadelphia Eagles. Rodgers threw his 400th career touchdown pass in the third quarter and became the first quarterback in NFL history to have five seasons of 35 touchdown passes or more. Rodgers also has the fewest interceptions (88) ever for a quarterback hitting the 400th career touchdown pass mark.
The NFC West is arguably the best division in football, and now two of those teams play in Glendale, AZ. Due to the COVID restrictions in Santa Clara County, the San Francisco 49ers have been forced to make their new home in the Cardinals’ State Farm Stadium.
As Aaron Rodgers turns 37, he looks just as good now as he did while winning the first of two MVP awards in 2011. During that 15-1 season for Green Bay, Rodgers completed 68.3 percent of his passes, threw for 4,643 yards, and 45/6 touchdown to interception ratio. In 2020, nine years older, Rodgers on pace for 4,509 yards, 48 touchdowns, six interceptions, and currently has a quarterback rating of 117.6 which is second in his career behind the 2011 season.
With their season on the line, the Chicago Bears turned to 2017 first-round draft pick Mitchell Trubisky. Head Coach Matt Nagy preached his confidence for the offense under his fourth-year quarterback during every press conference this week. Trubisky even gave a powerful pre-game speech to the Bears, but all of the words failed to convert into winning action for the Bears on Sunday Night Football.
Mitchell Trubisky returns as the Chicago Bears and Green Bay Packers meet on Sunday. MJ Hurley previews the game, betting odds, and more.
After a nail-biter against the Jacksonville Jaguars, the Green Bay Packers move on to face the third of their four AFC South opponents for the year in the Indianapolis Colts.
It will be hard to top the Sunday night battle in Week 7 between the Cardinals (6-3) and Seahawks (6-3) that ended in a dramatic 37-34 overtime win for Arizona. Russell Wilson led the NFL MVP conversation in the first half of the season, but Kyler Murray has inserted himself into the debate as well.
Entering the 2020 NBA Draft, the Golden State Warriors have the second overall pick. After finishing 15-50 and last in the Western Conference, the Warriors are looking to re-tool in the draft. Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson are returning from injuries to a team that looks much different from their 2019 NBA Finals roster.
