They did all right. I thought Ka'dar Hollman was fine in his first NFL start but this defense needs Jaire Alexander and Kevin King healthy for the stretch run, especially with the QBs the Packers have coming up on the schedule.

I'm still hot about Myles Jack's flop and feigned injury. I don't want that in our sport, and the fact that it is from a team captain makes it even more embarrassing.


I love Myles Jack. I love the way he plays. But that was petty and regrettable, especially after he could've been called for taunting on the previous play for standing over Aaron Jones.

The Colts' defense is one of the better ones right now in the NFL. What is the Colts' strength on defense? And what do the Packers need to do to attack it?


Darius Leonard. The Packers have run the gauntlet against elite linebackers and this guy may be the best of all of them. When healthy, there really isn't anything Leonard can't do on a football field. And obviously the Packers are familiar with DeForest Buckner. He's been a massive difference-maker in that defense. Yards won't come easy Sunday but it starts by winning on first down. The Packers must stay in favorable down-and-distance to have success against that front.

With Darrius Shepherd being out of the lineup, will this open up more opportunities for Malik Taylor? I like the juice Malik brings to the table and would like to see him get more playing time!


Equanimeous St. Brown (31 plays) saw the biggest increase in his workload Sunday with Shepherd not on the field. Taylor played eight snaps, while practice-squad call-up Juwann Winfree saw seven. Taylor also was the other kickoff returner with Jamaal Williams.

I won't shade about the "victory." Kudos to MVS but will he ever learn to catch with his hands vs. his body? Re: Steven response, surprised no reference to Watergate? Thanks for the 5-15 rule, wasn't aware but so esoteric!


You learn something new every day.

I'm glad to learn Doug Marrone could've been penalized for not wearing his mask while hollering at the ref. I'm still confused as to why Marrone's challenge was allowed. PI is not challengeable, right? Why should it matter whether the coach tries to challenge the contact element or the deflected-pass element of a PI ruling?


I may need Spoff to teach me this one, too. I still don't understand it.

If a coach were to test positive for COVID, would they be able to segregate in a skybox and still work during a game?


No, they must stay home. Coaches can Zoom into meetings during the preparation week, I believe, but I'm not aware of any protocols allowing them to coach a game from home.

Does the NFL have a plan for the Super Bowl should a team make it and then experience a COVID outbreak the week before the game? I know it is a long way off but just got me thinking with the large number of college games that have been cancelled, and many will not be rescheduled.


I'm sure the NFL has started to formulate those preliminary plans – heck, the NCAA is already discussing the format of March Madness – but nothing that we're privy to…yet.


Mike from New Orleans, LA


Where does the music in between player interviews come from? I'm a big fan.


Actual Matt Arvin.

Unfortunately, with a record of 7-2 the Packers only have one more win this season at least based on the "experts'" 8-8 finish they predicted at the beginning of the season. I'll show myself to the door!


Don't make predictions unless you want everyone to know you were wrong.
