    Leaner, crisper Jamaal Williams making all-around impact on Packers' offense

    Williams did just that 7 minutes into the Falcons game, running a deep route from the slot and extending to haul in a 29-yard pass from quarterback Aaron Rodgers near the sideline despite a safety bearing down on him. Williams always has been well-regarded for his pass-catching ability, but...

    John from Greenville, WI True or False: The running back tandem of Aaron Jones and Jamaal Williams is the best since John Brockington and MacArthur Lane in 1972-74. I think that's true. The only other pair that comes to mind is Edgar Bennett and Dorsey Levens, who statistically were close...

    Inbox: You're in, now make it count

    Scott from Seattle, WA I appreciate the correction between watt and lumen. I moved to Seattle last year and people here talk about the daily lumen count since it's so dark all winter. Maybe the key to home-field advantage against the Seahawks is to make the Lambeau lights brighter? Of course...

    Inbox: That's a credit to the entire group

    Jeff from Eveleth, MN Interesting year. 2020 draft class is kind of nonexistent now. No contribution from Jordan Love, very little so far from Dillon, Deguara out for year, no fourth-round pick, Kamal Martin yet to contribute. So far only Jon Runyan has been impactful. Still 4-0. Wow. When...
