    Packers plan to 'recharge the battery' during playoff bye

    Green Bay has four possible playoff opponents for the divisional round Jan. 16-17 – Washington, Tampa Bay, Chicago and the LA Rams – but LaFleur suggested the coaching staff won't be studying too extensively until this weekend.

    Inbox: The eyes and the stats say so

    Joe from Wausau, WI Mike Pettine. Give the guy credit. The defense has surrendered fewer than 20 points in four of the last five games. I think the key move was replacing Christian Kirksey with Krys Barnes as every-down linebacker. Barnes has been better there than Kirksey, and Kirksey has had...

    Long fourth-quarter TD drive gave Packers needed separation

    GREEN BAY – After a fruitless third quarter, the Packers needed to get their offensive mojo back in the fourth quarter. They did with a methodical 12-play, 76-yard scoring march that consumed seven minutes, 35 seconds on the clock and is the Chevy Drive of the Week from the 35-16 victory at...

    Packers' defense peaking at the right time

    The third-year running back found paydirt once, finishing the Bears' opening series with a 2-yard TD run up the middle, but Green Bay otherwise clamped down inside its own 20. That included after Tavon Austin fumbled a punt return in the second quarter that gave Chicago the ball at the Green...

    'Job is not done' for Packers

    Rhythm, or lack thereof, aside, Aaron Rodgers referred to getting to "recharge" for a playoff run in which the Packers can reach the Super Bowl without leaving the friendly confines of Lambeau Field. While home-field advantage in this pandemic season isn't what it normally would be, since no...

    Aaron Rodgers makes convincing final MVP argument with 4-TD performance

    Yet, Rodgers was at his best when adversity struck. His completion streak ended early in the third quarter when Valdes-Scantling dropped a pass that likely would've been a 53-yard touchdown. Two plays later, the Packers would have to punt for the first time. The offense would then go...

    Amos then made the splash, picking off Trubisky (33-of-42, 252 yards, 81.7 rating) in Chicago territory, leading to Adams' 18th TD on the year to tie Sharpe's team record in that category and seal the win. With six catches for 46 yards, Adams finished the regular season with 115 receptions...

    Packers can't let this opportunity get away

    It's always been fair to wonder if things might have unfolded differently had the Packers beaten the Vikings in Week 17 to earn the bye. That would have sent Chicago to San Francisco for the wild-card round. If the 49ers had deployed the read-option to beat the Bears and advance, would the...

    Packers will 'rally around each other' in David Bakhtiari's absence

    "Adam Stenavich and Luke Butkus do a great job with that room," LaFleur said, referring to his two offensive line coaches. "But also those guys take it upon themselves to prepare the right way. This is the best O-line group I've ever been around, and I'm not just talking about the players. I'm...
