Green Bay Packers – 14, Kansas City Chiefs – 19
Well, guess the Packers decided to get their one loss out of the way here rather than in the playoffs when things will really matter. Aaron Rodgers (267 total yards, 2 TDs) and the Packers looked almost disinterested at points, and the team was just not in sync for the entire game. Kyle Orton (294 total yards) got his first start and actually looked like a decent QB compared to Tyler “Noodle Arm” Palko. Seriously… I think Palko was the thing that finally put Todd Haley on the unemployment line, as no one thought that guy was a serious NFL QB.
Jermichael Finley (3-84) at least looked halfway decent after getting shutout last week. The rest of the receiver corps did a poor job of making up for Greg Jennings’ absence, as Jordy Nelson (2-29) and James Jones (2-17) were next to useless. Randall Cobb (4-53) actually did better than both of those guys combined, while Donald Driver (2-7, 1 TD) caug...

Chiefs' win a blueprint? Packers not buying it
GREEN BAY, Wis. -- Yes, it's true. The previously undefeated Green Bay Packers did lose to the Kansas City Chiefs.
In that game, the Packers' defense didn't create any turnovers, and quarterback Aaron Rodgers completed less than 50 percent of his passes, both of which happened for the first time this season.
But if there are any NFL teams who think that the Chiefs have...

For most of the 2011 season, the Green Bay Packers’ Aaron Rodgers has been the odds-on favorite to win his first MVP award. With the Packers losing against the Kansas City Chiefs and the Saints’ Drew Brees making a run at Dan Marino’s all-time passing record, it may not be as clear cut of a race as we thought.
However, if we go back just a few years ago, you can...

Packers might learn you CAN win by losing
KANSAS CITY, Mo. The Kansas City Chiefs' 19-14 victory over the undefeated Green Bay Packers on Sunday turned the NFL on its head, and now allow me to try to do the same.
