#Packers RB Aaron Jones on entering a season without Aaron Rodgers under center:
"A-Rod doesn't want to be here so he's not going to be here. ... You've got to shift your focus and get ready."
The Packers quite literally don't make the playoffs in 2010 if this punt return — they needed the Eagles to beat the Giants to stay alive — and therefore DeSean Jackson is tied to their last Super Bowl victory.
DeSean Jackson on his favorite play as an Eagle: “The punt return in 2010. That goes down in my book as one of the greatest plays ever.”
Recalls the feeling as if he “sailed into the end zone.” #Eagles
Ravens HC John Harbaugh said CB Jaire Alexander didn't practice Monday due to swelling in his knee. Alexander will have the knee drained and is expected to practice Tuesday.
This is the exact type of scenario the Packers feared could unfold with Alexander.
#Packers wideout Jayden Reed has been nominated for the FexEd Air & Ground Players of the Week Award.
Seems appropriate given that Reed had a 70-yard receiving touchdown and a 33-yard rushing touchdown.
If a receiver takes out three defenders on a single block, he can do the riverdance for all I care. The NFL essentially fined Packers wideout Allen Lazard for being exceptional at his job.
Free-agent running back Jamaal Williams acknowledges that he won't return to the #Packers following Aaron Jones' extension: "It's just sad that we won't be able to play together again."
