1 Jordan Love play that shows Packers QB is already mastering the position
One of the most-anticipated games of the NFL’s Week 1 slate kicked off at Soldier Field, with the Chicago Bears taking on the visiting Green Bay Packers. With the departure of Aaron Rodgers to New York, Bears fans believed that this could finally be the year Chicago got out from under Green Bay’s shadow.
As for Packers fans, they believed a torch had been passed from Rodgers, to Jordan Love.

Just weeks away from the opening of NBA training camps across the league, there appears to be no end in sight to the Damian Lillard saga.
Lillard still reportedly prefers to play this season with the Heat, but the Trail Blazers appear to be no closer to dealing him away. Lillard is expected to report to whichever team holds his contract rights at the start of camp, but his preference remains to play in Miami.
As for the Heat, the team appears reluctant to part with emerging wing Caleb Martin in a Lillard trade package, according to a report from Sam Amico of Hoops Wire.
Aaron Rodgers isn’t the first superstar QB to be lost to injury, but this disappointment hits different. For Gang Green, it feels more like a curse than bad luck or timing.
Despite Packers quarterback Jordan Love dominating the Bears in his first start in the post-Aaron Rodgers era, Chicago starting safety Jaquan Brisker was not impressed by the young signal-caller.
Love was nearly flawless, throwing for 245 yards and three touchdowns in Green Bay’s 38–20 road win, helping to lead the club to their ninth consecutive win over Chicago. Dating back to 2016, the Packers own a 14–1 mark against the Bears.
Nick Saban famously said Texas A&M “bought” a team with money from name, image and likeness, an allegation that looks sillier by the day. How could Texas A&M buy a team if it can’t even buy a coach?
Jimbo Fisher’s Aggies just lost to Miami, 48–33, to eliminate themselves from making their coach’s contract look defensible for the third straight year. But that’s O.K.
It was an interesting Monday night at MetLife Stadium, to say the least, but one player stood out in the Jets’ 22-16 overtime win over the Buffalo Bills, and that was safety Jordan Whitehead.
Even before Xavier Gipson trotted across the goal line with the game-winning punt return, Whitehead was one of the few Jets who would’ve gone home with a bit of a smile regardless of how overtime shook out.
That was because his three interceptions — which meant the only person who caught more Josh Allen passes than him was Stefon Diggs — made him the team’s standout player for the night.
Tiger Woods joined Rickie Fowler and Will Zalatoris on the driving range at Liberty National in New Jersey on Tuesday morning as part of a teaching clinic for one of his foundation’s annual events. It marked the first time Woods was seen on the range with a club in his hand since undergoing surgery on his ankle in April.
Woods simply stood there and hit an occasional chip shot, but never took a full swing. The 47-year-old answered a few questions, but Fowler and Zalatoris were the only two hitting golf shots.
Colin Kaepernick’s people reportedly are in contact with the New York Jets.
As crazy as it might sound, Kaepernick has been all over Twitter since Aaron Rodgers suffered a season-ending Achilles injury after just a few snaps with the Jets.
Jemele Hill wasted no time before floating the suggestion that the Jets should sign Kaepernick, who last played during the 2016 season.
Colin Kaepernick’s agent reportedly in contact with the Jets. The team might need a new QB after Aaron Rodgers suffered a season-ending injury.
One NFL week down, 17 to go …
• I had a thought a few weeks ago about Aaron Rodgers. More than anything, it was something I’d noticed about him.
Obviously, the 39-year-old quarterback doesn’t appeal to everyone. That’s fine. A lot of us are like that. But what I picked up was that, for the most part, the people Rodgers has issues with are either on an even plane with him, or above him on the org chart.
With the Jets searching for quarterback help after Aaron Rodgers’s season-ending Achilles injury Monday evening, a veteran signal-caller is seemingly throwing his name into the mix.
Former 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick’s agent has reached out to the Jets to gauge their interest in signing the 35-year-old, according to a Tuesday afternoon report from NFL insider Jordan Schultz — who said he spoke with Kaepernick directly.
