Aaron Jones

The Green Bay Packers jumped out to a 14-0 first quarter lead and held on for a 20-15 win over the Washington Redskins on Sunday at Lambeau Field.

Aaron Jones rushed for a season-high 134 yards and a touchdown on just 16 carries.  Jones also led the Packers in receiving with six receptions for 58 yards and totaled 192 all-purpose yards on the day.  Jones touchdown is his 15th of the season, his 12th rushing touchdown.  His 100-yard rushing day is his third of the season.

Aaron Rodgers finished 18-of-28 for 195 yards and a touchdown to tight end Robert Tonyan.

The Packers (10-3) remain atop the NFC North, a game better than the Minnesota Vikings, who scored a 20-7 win over the Detroit Lions on Sunday. [Read more…]

Sloppy performance leads to Packers loss

September 24, 2018 By Bill Scott

Mo Wilkerson could be lost for the season

The Washington Redskins jumped out to a quick lead and held on to knock off the Green Bay Packers 31-17 in DC on Sunday.

The Redskins racked up 323 yards and 28 points in the first half, taking a 28-10 lead into the locker room at halftime.

The Packers defense tightened in the second half, but the offense had problems with dropped passes and penalties and never could get on track.

Even Aaron Rodgers struggled with his accuracy early and finished 27-44 for 265 yards and two touchdowns.  Wide receiver Randall Cobb had one of his worst days as a pro, dropping two passes and fumbling.  Prior to the fumble, the Packers were driving with 5 1/2 minutes left to play and a touchdown would have closed the gab to four points.

The Packers have played in rain and snow and cold before, yet they struggled to handle the wet conditions on Sunday. [Read more…]

DT Francois signs one-year deal with Packers

March 23, 2017 By Bill Scott

Ricky Jean Francois tweeted this picture this afternoon, saying “My new home don’t look so bad”

Free agent defensive tackle Ricky Jean Francois has signed a one-year, $3 million deal with the Green Bay Packers today.  The deal was first reported by ESPN’s Adam Schefter.

The Packers were looking for depth on the defensive line after Letroy Guion was hit with a four-game suspension to start the season for violating the NFL’s policy on performance-enhancing drugs.  The Packers did restructure Guion’s contract after the suspension was handed down, pushing roster bonuses into the regular season.

The Redskins released Ricky Jean Francois on March 15 to create cap room.  He spent two years with Washington, starting six games in 2016 and registering 1.5 sacks.

The 30-year old Jean Francois also spent two years with the Colts and four with the 49ers.  He was originally a 7th round draft pick of the 49ers in the 2009 draft.

Jean Francois has 12 sacks in 109 career NFL games.

January 4, 2013 By Bill Scott

The 2013 NFL playoffs begin Saturday with the start of Wildcard weekend.

Play begins Saturday afternoon in the AFC with the Cincinnati Bengals taking on the

JJ Watt

JJ Watt

Houston Texans in Houston (3:30pm CT).

The Bengals are looking for their first playoff win since 1990 and they’ll need a strong defensive showing to pull it off.  Over the last 8-games, the Bengals have allowed an average 12.8 points a game.  Over the last 3-games, Cincinnati has tallied  9 take/aways, 9 sacks and scored 3 defensive touchdowns.

Houston, at one time had been playing for the number 1 seed in the AFC.  Not only did the Texas fail to secure the top spot, but they failed to hang on to the number-2 spot and find themselves in wild card weekend.

The Texans are led defensively by former Wisconsin Badger defensive end J.J. Watt who put up some monster numbers this season.  Watt has 20 1/2 QB sacks, 107 tackles including 39 tackles for loss, 16 passes defensed and 4 forced fumbles. [Read more…]
