Feels like the Packers’ adjustment should be to throw to Matthew Golden every play
Very little chatter on my feeds about Jordan Love and Drew Lock Face/Offing earlier this summer, as reported by ESPN's Jeremy Fowler in July
I went through my lineups and realized just how much Matthew Golden I have so I’m either not going to have to pretend or will be incapable

Yesterday, I wrote about the NFL going under center at the highest rate in more than a decade, why it's happening now, and which teams it actually impacted www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/...
Why NFL offenses are going under center more often in 2026
Teams such as the Commanders, Eagles, Ravens, Chiefs, Giants and Raiders are going under center more -- and out of the shotgun less and less. Will this trend stick?

I wrote over 1,000 words breaking down where to rank Mike Washington in the event Ashton Jeanty was out for the season and published it about 90 mins before Schefter’s sprained ankle news. It’s really good!
