Matt LaFleur Provides Update On Jordan Love

The Green Bay Packers got quite the scare during their Week 1 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles in Brazil. Very late in the game, star quarterback Jordan Love went down with an injury that was later revealed to be a sprained MCL. The original timeline given for Love’s return was 3-6 weeks, but it seems he could be back sooner rather than later, maybe even in Week 2. Packers head coach Matt LaFleur gave a very encouraging update to Packers fans on...

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) — The New England Patriots were so bad last year they fired six-time Super Bowl-winning coach Bill Belichick.

And on Sunday night, one of those teams will be 2-0. “You see the direction that we’re trying to go, you see what happens when you do follow the process, and you do buy into the...

The pivotal moment for Allen Lazard, in the eyes of offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett, materialized before any of his six catches for 89 yards and two touchdowns Monday. Instead, it unfolded on the third offensive snap of the Jets’ eventual loss, when Lazard sprinted 5 yards upfield, pivoted to snap left out in his route and slipped. It was a scene that could’ve played out on the Jets’ collection of 2023 lowlights. Lazard dropped the ball....
