Aside from Chandon Sullivan's pick-six in the second half, this might have been the defensive play of the game, and it's made by undrafted rookie LB Krys Barnes (51). One snap after a Za'Darius Smith sack for a loss of 10, the Lions are backed up in a long-yardage situation and just want to run...

After rotating in on third downs as a rookie, the former first-round pick has had a more defined role in Year 2. One addition coordinator Mike Pettine made to his defense is the installation of a modified base package with two defensive tackles, two inside linebackers, plus Za'Darius Smith and...

And never take anything for granted pre-snap or post-snap with Rodgers. "Always expect the ball no matter what," Tonyan said. "Always expecting the ball is your best bet." The offense's complementary pieces haven't been flawless through two games. Valdes-Scantling had two costly drops in...

It started with a 4-yard run by RB Aaron Jones on the final play of the first quarter. After the teams changed directions, a defensive holding penalty on the Lions gave the Packers a first down. From there, it was pretty smooth sailing. Rodgers hit Jones on a short crossing route that ruptured...

Jones propelled the Packers to their best day on the ground in nearly 17 years, with his 75-yard touchdown run on the first play of the second half being the longest by a Packers player since Ahman Green's 90-yard TD run vs. Dallas on Oct. 24, 2004. Jones also caught four passes for 68 yards...

Ralph from Monchengladbach, Germany Hello Insiders, is the number of injuries in Week 2 across the league higher than usual, or does it just seem so, because of the number of big names? I think it's the big names we're seeing on the injury list more than anything. It's astonishing really...

The Packers' defense got a stop on Detroit's next possession, beginning with Jaire Alexander breaking up a second-down pass intended for Jones Jr. Defensive tackle Tyler Lancaster was cut low on the play by Lions offensive lineman Oday Aboushi, resulting in a 15-yard penalty for unnecessary...

GREEN BAY – This game changed in a hurry. The Packers scored a touchdown 14 seconds before halftime and then another just 12 seconds into the third quarter, taking control of what became a 42-21 victory over the Lions on Sunday at Lambeau Field. "That totally turned the tide," Head Coach...

GREEN BAY – Years pass, records fall and the legend of Aaron Jones only continues to grow inside the Packers' locker room. A week after Davante Adams' record-breaking performance in a dominant offensive showing in Minnesota, Jones made some history of his own to help propel the Packers past...

The Green Bay Packers placed WR Equanimeous St. Brown (eck-wah-nihm-ee-ous) on injured reserve and elevated TE John Lovett (love-it) and DL Willington Previlon (PREV-ih-lahn) from the practice squad to the active roster for gameday. The transactions were announced Saturday by General Manager...

Barton from Tulum, Quintana Roo Mexico So much fun watching NFL football after so many months of purgatory! Didn't the Packers' offense look much more diverse and unpredictable than last season, making it harder for the Vikings' defense to defend? I hope that continues. Oh, Aaron Rodgers was...

GREEN BAY – History doesn't converge like this very often, if ever. Certain players on division rivals naturally rack up a lot of appearances against the Packers because they face off twice per season. Rivalry games will feature such a player that a team has battled, seemingly, countless...

GREEN BAY – The Packers won't have defensive tackle Kenny Clark available this Sunday against the Detroit Lions, Head Coach Matt LaFleur has confirmed. Clark missed all three days of practice this week after suffering a groin injury during the Packers' 43-34 win over Minnesota last Sunday. He...

Kyle from Osceola, WI Looking at Krys Barnes again, it's quite possible he earned his spot on the 53-man roster coming out of training camp. But he was simply the most likely of the four linebackers (Oren Burks, Ty Summers, Kamal Martin) to pass through waivers. Gutekunst knew they needed to...

GREEN BAY – When the Packers claimed Tyler Ervin off waivers last December, most onlookers naturally figured the move was made to improve Green Bay's return units. While that may have been true, offensive line coach Adam Stenavich felt it could be so much more. Certainly Ervin would add...

Barnes was one of 15 undrafted rookies the Packers signed back in April but he didn't come to Green Bay lacking credentials. A former high school teammate of Packers' first-round pick Jordan Love, Barnes was a highly touted, four-star recruit when he committed to play at UCLA in 2016. A...
