Packers Film Room: Long snapping on kicks in Week 6

In Week 6 the Packers’ long‑snapping unit delivered a flawless snap‑to‑hold performance on all five kicks. Matt Orzech’s snaps consistently hit the sweet spot for holder Daniel Whelan, who secured each ball by the laces and delivered clean holds. Kicker Trey Smack converted every attempt—two extra points and three field goals (25, 44 and 29 yards)—with only a minor hiccup on the third kick that didn’t affect timing. The article praises this as the cleanest snap‑hold operation the team has seen this season.

Zaire Franklin gives Packers fans reason to be excited about Micah Parsons’ return

Packers linebacker Zaire Franklin says Micah Parsons looks “good” in his knee‑rehab workouts, boosting excitement for the star edge rusher’s return. Parsons, who tore his ACL in December, has posted 12.5 sacks in 14 games this season and helped Green Bay beat the Bears 31‑7 before going sidelined. Even without him, the defense ranks atop the league in interceptions (nine) and has recorded 15 sacks, led by Lukas Van Ness (3.5) and Edgerrin Cooper (3). Defensive coordinator Jonathan Gannon praises the unit’s depth, and with running back Josh Jacobs also returning, the Packers’ ceiling looks “extremely high.”

Packers’ Matt LaFleur says Josh Jacobs is in ‘good spot’, still can’t guarantee his availability for Week 7

Packers head coach Matt LaFleur says running back Josh Jacobs is in a “good spot” after training, but he won’t confirm the star’s availability for Week 7 against Detroit. Jacobs, who posted 929 rushing yards and 13 touchdowns in 2025, hasn’t debuted this season and Green Bay’s rush has slipped to 2.9 yards per carry (359 yards total) over a 4‑2 start. LaFleur says the decision will hinge on Jacobs’ health and feel later this week, noting his elite talent could spark the stalled ground game.

Brian Schottenheimer’s timeout decisions were suspect at best

The Cowboys fell 23-23 to the Packers on Sunday night, but the game’s final score masks a puzzling coaching decision. With 1:50 left in the first half, Dallas held two timeouts while Green Bay had three. After a Packers drive put them at the Dallas 2‑yard line, offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer called both remaining timeouts in quick succession—first with 46 seconds left and again with 28 seconds left—essentially preserving Green Bay’s clock and leaving Dallas with no timeouts for a potential comeback. Analysts, including NBC’s Mike Tirico, struggled to rationalize the moves, suggesting they may have been aimed at defensive personnel changes, though the timing benefited the Packers. The article dissects why Schottenheimer’s strategy appears counterintuitive.

After Week 6 the Jets own three of the top 13 picks in the 2027 NFL Draft

After six weeks, the New York Jets sit 2-4 but already control three first‑round picks for the 2027 NFL Draft: their own slot, Indianapolis’s pick, and the higher of Dallas’s and Green Bay’s selections. If the season ended now, all three would be among the top 13 picks. The draft order, per Tankathon, shows the Jets tied for the second‑worst record, positioning them for potentially high selections despite the early struggles. Their draft capital could reshape the roster in the offseason.

Matthew Golden tells Jordan Love exactly what he wants from Packers QB

Ahead of Week 7, the Packers (4‑2) look to expand sophomore wideout Matthew Golden’s role after his confidence‑boosting chat with QB Jordan Love following Green Bay’s 23‑13 win over Dallas. Golden urged Love to keep trusting him and delivering the ball, a message that could spark more targets as the duo prepares for a crucial showdown with the Detroit Lions, who struggle against the pass but possess a solid pass rush. The article highlights their growing chemistry and the potential offensive boost for Green Bay.

Cowboys at Packers: Joey Porter Jr. makes his presence felt in tough loss

In Week 6, the Dallas Cowboys fall 23-13 to the Green Bay Packers, dashing any optimism after a Week 5 loss to Tampa Bay. While both sides struggled, the Cowboys' offense looked especially out of sync against a dominant Packers defense. The lone bright spot is rookie cornerback Joey Porter Jr., who earned the game‑ball after logging 28 coverage snaps with zero receptions allowed, a 39.6 passer rating against, and a crucial pass break‑up on a deep Matthew Golden throw. Porter’s lockdown play could be key for a secondary that’s been underperforming all season.

Green Bay Packers News: Packers battling penalty onslaught

The Green Bay Packers are drowning in penalties, leading the NFL in rough‑passing roughing calls while opponents go unflagged. The article critiques the NFL’s flag‑heavy officiating, noting the confusing rulebook and the impact on game flow, and questions how the league can restore equity. It also mentions related Packers news, like their Week 6 win over Dallas and upcoming halftime shows, but the core focus is the Packers’ penalty woes and the broader issue of arbitrary flags.

Even In A Win, Mike McCarthy’s Late-Game Decisions Need Questioned

The Steelers pull off a gritty 13-point fourth‑quarter comeback to beat the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on the road, extending their winning streak. While the victory highlights Pittsburgh’s resilience, head coach Mike McCarthy’s late‑game play‑calling comes under fire, with critics questioning his clock management and decision‑making in crucial moments.

Keisean Nixon warns entire NFL as Packers await Josh Jacobs and Micah Parsons

Packers cornerback Keisean Nixon says Green Bay will be a tougher opponent once running back Josh Jacobs and defensive end Micah Parsons return. Jacobs, who was on the NFL’s exempt list after a legal issue, is cleared to rejoin the roster for the Week 7 game against the Detroit Lions, boosting a ground game that has averaged just 60.4 yards per game—the league’s lowest. Parsons, the team’s top pass‑rusher, remains sidelined with a knee injury, but his eventual comeback could further elevate the defense. Nixon’s confidence hints that the Packers’ best play may be ahead.

Film study: Packers’ deep passing attack is a paper tiger

The Lions (3-2) face the Packers (4-2) in Week 7, and a new film study reveals why Green Bay’s deep‑air attack is more a situational gamble than a reliable weapon. Of the Packers’ 32 passes of 20+ yards this season, only four came when they trailed—and all were incomplete. Jordan Love throws deep 15.5% of the time while ahead versus just 6.7% when behind, and the majority of long throws occur on first down or third‑and‑long, never on second‑and‑short. Completion rate on those deep attempts sits at a modest 31%, highlighting a feast‑or‑famine pattern. The analysis suggests Detroit must jump out early and protect a lead to limit Green Bay’s “kill‑shot” bursts.

Discussion: How should the Detroit Lions handle Cade Mays’ return?

Detroit Lions coach Dan Campbell confirms that starting center Cade Mays and Pro Bowl safety Brian Branch will return Sunday versus the Packers. While Branch’s role is clear, Mays’ comeback sparks debate: Scruggs has excelled in his absence, and swapping centers mid‑game could disrupt timing. The author argues Mays should ultimately start once fully healthy, but suggests easing him in via special‑teams or jumbo packages rather than rotating him in during drives, aiming for a full start by Week 8 against Minnesota. Readers are invited to weigh in on the best approach.

Cowboys news: Stephen Jones gives full support to Brian Schottenheimer

After a 17-0 halftime deficit to the Green Bay Packers, the Dallas Cowboys fell to 2-4, reigniting scrutiny of head coach Brian Schottenheimer. Despite a 9-13-1 record, executive vice president Stephen Jones publicly affirmed full ownership support for Schottenheimer, emphasizing confidence in the coaching staff. Critics point to the offense’s predictability, low yards per attempt (4.8) and turnovers, while former players like Braylon Edwards and analysts question Schottenheimer’s play‑calling. Defensive coordinator Jonathan Gannon’s success against Dak Prescott adds to the debate, and injuries at linebacker deepen concerns. The article weighs ownership loyalty against mounting fan pressure for change.

Green Bay Packers add former first-round pick amid defensive line injury concerns

The Green Bay Packers bolster a weakened defensive line by adding former first‑round pick Mazi Smith to their practice squad. With starting nose tackle Javon Hargrave injured and depth thin, veteran Chris McClellan steps in, but Smith— drafted 2023 by Dallas and later traded to the Jets—offers a potential rotation upgrade. Smith logged 41 tackles and a sack in 2024 with the Cowboys, saw limited action in 2025, and has brief stints with the Jets and Dolphins. Packers hope his experience can fill the front‑seven gap and revive his NFL career.

Bill Belichick Tipped to Replace Brian Schottenheimer as Cowboys Told to Relearn Football’s “Basic Fundamentals”

After a 23-13 loss to the Packers that left the Dallas Cowboys at 2-4, Dallas sports radio host Shan Shariff urged the franchise to adopt a Bill Belichick‑style approach, citing the Patriots legend’s demand for fundamentals, discipline and situational football. Shariff argues the Cowboys’ “nice‑guy” coaching under Brian Schottenheimer has led to costly mistakes—five turnovers in two games, 11 penalties and a meager 48 rushing yards. While Belichick currently coaches college football, his six Super Bowl titles make him a benchmark for the culture Dallas supposedly lacks. With a showdown against the Eagles looming, Schottenheimer faces pressure to halt the error‑filled slide.
