Free agents, backups keep Packers in the thick of things

The roster might not be what Brian Gutekunst and Matt LaFleur had hoped at this point in the season, but sitting at 5-3, it has to be a delight to see how players have stepped up this year.

Injury doesn’t keep Watson from playing

Despite a shaky end to the game, Jordan Love’s big day got the Packers back in the win column in its Week 8 matchup.

On the back of Love’s three touchdown passes, Green Bay took down the Carolina Panthers 27-19 at Lambeau Field on Oct. 29.

On top of Love’s trio of touchdowns, Josh Jacobs scoring two touchdowns in his return to Lambeau Field was enough to hold off Carolina’s late comeback.

Lions can score from all facets on offense

Green Bay will travel to Detroit to take on the Lions in Week 7.

Packers offense vs. Lions defense

Green Bay’s offense picked up right where it left off against the Chicago Bears on Sunday night against the Dallas Cowboys. The Packers moved right down the field on a 14-play drive that totaled 90 yards and a touchdown.

Can Packers pull off Lombardi Trophy season?

After looking like the season was going to be lost early, the Green Bay Packers have ripped off two statement victories in a row over Chicago and Dallas to bring its record to 4-2.

That brings up the question, can the Packers actually compete for a Super Bowl this season?
