Steelers vs. Packers Preseason Week 2: 2nd quarter in-game update
The Pittsburgh Steelers are back, and we keep you up to date with those who aren’t able to watch the game live. 1st Quarter In-Game Update Starting the second quarter in the red-zone, Brett Hundley was able to elude pressure and ran the ball into the end zone from 10-yards out to extend the Green Bay lead, 24-14. After another Jordan Berry punt, Green Bay continued to move the football on the Steelers’ defense who was missing only Joe Haden, Cameron Heyward and Sean Davis. However, when Hundley moved the ball into Pittsburgh territory a Bud Dupree blind-side sack forced Green Bay to...

Steelers vs. Packers: Justin McCray leaves game with apparent right leg injury
The Packers saw one of their starting offensive linemen go down with an injury. The preseason has claimed another Green Bay Packers contributor. During Thursday’s preseason tilt with the Pittsburgh Steelers, presumed starting right guard Justin McCray left early with an apparent leg injury. McCray played the entire first quarter at right guard, protecting Aaron Rodgers during the quarterback’s preseason debut. McCray remained in the game as Brett Hundley took over on the second series, continuing to play after most of Green Bay’s other starters retired for the night. His injury...

Brett Hundley is auditioning to play somewhere else in Packers preseason
Green Bay already knows Hundley isn’t a serviceable backup. He’s not staying as long as DeShone Kizer stays healthy. The Green Bay Packers already know what Brett Hundley looks like if pressed into duty as the starting quarterback in relief of an injured Aaron Rodgers. Three wins in nine tries plus more than half of the Vikings game in which Rodgers got hurt. Two ugly shutouts, no touchdown passes at home in five games, twice failing to break 100 yards passing, and five times unable to get to 200. Despite some moments of brilliance — several clutch plays and a number of quality...

Packers vs. Steelers Primer: Game Time, TV Broadcasts, Streaming, & More
Get ready for the second preseason game, which should feature Aaron Rodgers taking some live snaps for the first time this year. In 2017, the finest outing that Green Bay Packers quarterback Brett Hundley had as a passer came against the Pittsburgh Steelers. After taking over for an injured Aaron Rodgers, Hundley recorded a passer rating of more than 90 in just three contests, and his performance in the Packers’ 31-28 loss in Pittsburgh was by far the best, as he completed 17 of 26 passes for 245 yards, three touchdowns and no interceptions. That result was good for a passer rating of...

David Bakhtiari & Jaire Alexander returned to practice on Sunday
For once, there’s good news on the injury front out of Green Bay. Green Bay Packers fans who watched Thursday’s preseason game saw a tired and all-too-common occurrence when the first-team offense took the field. Quarterbacks Brett Hundley and DeShone Kizer were under frequent pressure in the early stages of the game, particularly while Kyle Murphy and Byron Bell lined up at the offensive tackle positions. Hundley was sacked once, stripped of the football by rookie Harold Landry who had beaten Murphy around the edge. Pass-rusher Gemil President probably should have been credited with a...

Friday Cheese Curds: Backup quarterbacks show growth in Packers’ win over Titans
Hundley, Kizer and even Boyle showed promise in their first game action of 2018 With a 31-17 win over the Tennessee Titans last night, the Green Bay Packers began to see the answers to some of the questions on the roster come into focus. The battle for the backup quarterback position commenced with Brett Hundley, DeShone Kizer and Tim Boyle all showing positive signs of development. Hundley kicked things off with a touchdown drive and Kizer got all the way to to the Tennessee 4-hard line before missing a couple fade passes to force Green Bay to kick a field goal. Boyle then came in and...

Packers vs. Titans First Half Game Thread
Join us for the first half of the Packers’ preseason opener against the Titans. GREEN BAY PACKERS FOOTBALL IS FINALLY BACK! It’s officially preseason football time as the Packers host the Tennessee Titans for both teams’ exhibition openers this evening. No, we won’t see Aaron Rodgers throw the football at all (unless Mike McCarthy has some unexpected plans), but there should be plenty of interesting storylines to watch as the players battling for roster spots get their first taste of real game action. Will a leader emerge between Brett Hundley and DeShone Kizer in the fight to be...

MM: Hundley & Kizer will get ‘balance in reps’ in preseason opener
On Tuesday, Mike McCarthy revealed that both Hundley and Kizer will get roughly equal reps but would not say who would start. The Green Bay Packers begin their preseason schedule on Thursday with a home game against the Tennessee Titans, and this year the team has a bona fide competition for the backup quarterback job. 2015 draft pick Brett Hundley is working against new arrival DeShone Kizer for the rights to back up Aaron Rodgers, and both are expected to see significant playing time on Thursday. However, in his Tuesday press conference, head coach Mike McCarthy declined to give any...

Packers hoping to restore the declining play action pass in 2018
The deceptive play call has not carried the same level of success for Green Bay over the past three seasons, even with Aaron Rodgers under center. Play action plays like the ones compiled below used to be a staple of a productive Green Bay Packers offense. Unfortunately, that component of the offense has fallen on hard times in recent seasons. According to Football Outsiders, the Packers ranked 16th in the league in the percentage of pass plays that began with a play-action fake to the running back in 2017. Granted, this statistic took snaps with both Aaron Rodgers and Brett Hundley into...

Houston Texans: Team should target Brett Hundley if released
The Houston Texans still don’t have the right answer at quarterback in Brandon Weeden. The team needs to target Brett Hundley — if released — and here’s why. Let’s look. The Houston Texans definitely appear to have hit it big on selecting their quarterback for many years to come in Deshaun Watson but I think […] Houston Texans: Team should target Brett Hundley if released - House of Houston - House of Houston - A Houston Sports Site - Texans, Rockets, Astros, Dynamo, Cougars and More!
