Leaving the Pack Behind

R-E-L-A-X was the soundbite from quarterback Aaron Rodgers in 2014 when the Packers started badly in their season, but in Green Bay now he has to be thinking that was a warm distant memory.

Sammy Watkins Ruled Out Against Raiders

Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid said that wide receiver Sammy Watkins (foot) has been ruled out for Week 13 against the Raiders.
