Latest news and updates about the Packers
14 weeks of the NFL season have passed, and some former Scarlet Knights have had major impacts for their team in recent weeks. Kyle Monangai has proved himself to be a steady, every-down back, while Bo Melton’s breakout performance helped lift Green Bay to victory in their recent matchup against Monangai’s Bears. RB Kyle Monangai […]
Back in Week 11, I wrote about Christian Watson’s two-touchdown game against the New York Giants. The Green Bay Packers wide receiver followed that up with a 5-catch, 49-yard game against the Vikings and a 4-catch, 80-yard, 1-TD game against the Lions on Thanksgiving. With Watson fully integrated into the offense after returning from his […]

It was notable given LaFleur’s annoyance at Johnson’s remark during his introductory news conference that […]
The Los Angeles Rams lost the top spot in the NFC last week, but they regained it in Week 14 with the Chicago Bears losing. The Rams are once again the top team in the NFC thanks to their tiebreaker win over the Seattle Seahawks. The Green Bay Packers are the new second-place team after […]
The Green Bay Packers are back where they should be atop the NFC North after their win over the Chicago Bears. they sit second in the NFC. The Los Angeles Rams remain in first place after their win, moving to 10-3. The Seattle Seahawks tied them but they are in the same division and the […]
A split with the Green Bay Packers always seemed likely heading into the 2025 season, so the good news for the Chicago Bears is that it’s still a plausible outcome despite the team’s loss on Sunday in Green Bay. Heck, the Bears might still have a chance to emerge 2-1 against Green Bay this year. […]
Following the loss of defensive tackle Devonte Wyatt, who had previously started for the Green Bay Packers in the under tackle position, the Packers signed two defensive tackles last week: Jordon Riley and Quinton Bohanna. Both Riley, poached from the New York Giants’ practice squad, and Bohanna, claimed on waivers via the Seattle Seahawks, are […]
To make room for the addition of receiver Jayden Reed from the injured reserve, the Green Bay Packers waived receiver Malik Heath, who had been with the team for three years, last week. The Packers likely wanted Heath to return to the team on the practice squad, considering his experience with the squad, but that […]
Don’t get me wrong, I’d have liked to beat the Green Bay Packers. Would have loved nothing more than to depart Lambeau last night chanting “Green Bay sucks” with my buddies. But the Bears came up just a play or two short. However, and I don’t really care if this sounds like loser talk, the feeling I had leaving the stadium yesterday and the one I have today is one of optimism. The Bears lost. But for the second straight game, they went on the road against a legitimate Super Bowl contender...
The Bears fall 28-21 in Green Bay, and the crew has plenty to say about it on the Bleacher Nation Bears Podcast, presented by Obvious Shirts .

The San Francisco 49ers had a bye week this week, but that didn’t mean there wasn’t action in the NFC playoff standings. The 49ers moved up one spot to No. 6 after the Chicago Bears dropped from No. 1 to No. 7 due to their loss to the Green Bay Packers. They’re still third in […]
The NFL is the ultimate week-to-week league. Things change in an instant. For the San Francisco 49ers, the bye week was kind as the team moved into the sixth seed with the Bears’ loss to the Packers. Possible reinforcements are on the way for the 49ers (no, not Brandon Aiyuk), and the team is in […]
The audible groan I let out when Caleb Williams’ final pass landed in the hands of Keisean Nixon (and not Bears tight end Cole Kmet) could have been heard from here to Green Bay. The Chicago Bears quarterback had played so well in the second half. Williams was playing with conviction, making quick reads and good decisions. He also displayed some stellar arm strength. And for a moment late in the fourth quarter, it looked like QB1 was going to author a new chapter in the historic Bears-Packers ...
Another Sunday and another loss for the Las Vegas Raiders, dropping their 11th division game in a row and fourth consecutive contest to the Denver Broncos. But let’s check in and see how Week 14 fared for a few old friends: Keisean Nixon, Josh Jacobs and Jakobi Meyers. Keisean Nixon Nixon has gone from being […]
The Green Bay Packers are fortunate that, despite a great rushing performance from his team throughout the entire second half, Chicago Bears head coach Ben Johnson decided instead to put Sunday’s game in Caleb Williams’ hands on the critical fourth-and-one. Now, Green Bay has two weeks to make sure that doesn’t happen to them again […]
Very little of Keisean Nixon’s time in Green Bay has gone according to plan. When Nixon was signed in 2022, he wasn’t supposed to be the Packers’ top cornerback. He wasn’t supposed to be a regular contributor as a slot defender. He wasn’t even supposed to be a kick returner. He was supposed to be […]
When the Chicago Bears lose to the Green Bay Packers, it always stings a little more, but yesterday’s 28-21 loss felt different. The sting was still there, and in the moment, it may have been one of the more excruciating in recent memory, but the further I get away from the final whistle, the more […]
Yes, the Green Bay Packers are 9-3-1, and yes, they just took the lead in the NFC North division with a big home win over the Chicago Bears. Yes, they currently hold the #2 seed in the NFC playoffs. Even with those caveats, it was still a bit surprising to see the Packers installed as […]
So, the San Francisco 49ers had a bye. Regardless of what happened, their playoff positioning would improve. How better? Well, just one spot thanks to the Chicago Bears/Green Bay Packers game. Beyond that, nothing much. And since the Los Angeles Rams and Seattle Seahawks both won, and looked good doing it. The 49ers will return […]
The Green Bay Packers continue to play some of their best football when it matters most.
