Jermichael Finley key in Packers’ win at Detroit
Packers TE Jermichael Finley
Jermichael Finley is a subject for heavy debate among Packers fans.
When a player is under performing, it’s acceptable to be critical of him. And through nine games, Finley’s seven drops and lackluster performance were certainly deserving of criticism.
But when that same player turns in a key performance that helps his team win, credit is due.

Packers QB Aaron Rodgers looks down the field against the Lions on Sunday
It was ugly but when it comes to winning division games, the Green Bay Packers will take any kind of victory.

Packers coach sticks with Crosby
The Green Bay Packers are sticking with struggling kicker Mason Crosby.
Coach Mike McCarthy told reporters after the Packers' 24-20 victory over the Detroit Lions on Sunday that the team won't ''blink'' in its commitment to Crosby.
Crosby has missed seven of the 18 field goals he's attempted so far this season. His 61 percent accuracy rate is second...
Packers block Lions from division title race
It was a win the Packers needed for many reasons, and they got it. Now at 7-3 with a 2-0 record in the division, Green Bay -- with four more games remaining against the NFC North -- controls its own playoff future throughout the rest of the season. It also sends Detroit (4-6) into a nearly impossible situation of making the postseason, therefore turning it into a three-team race...
Cedric Benson Targeting A Return In Week 15?
Packers RB Cedric Benson is aiming to return to the team around December 16, according to Jason Wilde of ESPN Wisconsin.
“Cedric had the opportunity to have some testing done (recently) and everything’s positive. His rehab has picked up,” said head coach Mike McCarthy. “We’ll see where we are next week. We don’t have a startup date exactly when he’s going to be ready...
Aaron Rodgers Plays Keyboard, Jumps on Trampoline While Visiting Young Packers Fan Fighting Cancer (Video)
Aaron Rodgers is a pretty sensitive guy.
Maybe not quite as sensitive as his interview on “60 Minutes” made him seem, but a caring and compassionate person nonetheless. Rodgers showed off his sensitive side yet again recently, as the Green Bay Packers quarterback teamed up with the MACC — Midwest Athletes Against Childhood Cancer — Fund to help raise awareness for the work...
Rodgers lifts Packers to 24-20 win over Lions
M.D. Jennings caught the deflected pass, and there was no doubt about this interception.
Then it was simply a matter of how far he could return it.
''The ball was tipped and I was in the right position to make a play on the ball,'' the Green Bay defensive back said. ''I saw a bunch of offensive lineman. I was like `Man, I can't let an offensive lineman...
Randall Cobb Leads Packers vs. Lions
Randall Cobb led Green Bay in receiving Sunday with 74 yards on nine catches.Fantasy Spin:He hauled in the game-winning touchdown on a 22-yard strike from Aaron Rodgers with a minute and 55 seconds remaining in the game. It was Cobb's sixth touchdown in his last four games. At this point, we'd consider the second-year receiver a must-start.
Packers Supporting Struggling Crosby
The message on Monday was no different than it was on Sunday. "I think changing players is the easy thing to do," Slocum said of slumping Mason Crosby. "That's the easiest thing to do, is to go get someone else. But it's not always the best thing to do."

Detroit Lions vs. Green Bay Preview: Can the Lions beat the Packers in a shootout?
This Sunday the Lions welcome in the Green Bay Packers to Ford Field as Detroit looks to string some wins together in hopes of making a late season run at the playoffs.

Lions Respect, But Don't Like Rival Packers
The Detroit Lions have watched Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers rise to league stardom on the field -- and off the field, with the endless "Discount Double Check" commercials. Although they have respect for their NFC counterparts, as one Lions defender stated, "there's no love lost between the two of us."
