Clay Matthews News

Detroit Lions rookie tight end Brandon Pettigrew left Thursday's game against the Green Bay Packers with a left knee injury.

I reviewed Alex Smith's last game against the Bears, and then Aaron Rodgers's play in the Packers last win over the Cowboys.

Aaron Rodgers made San Francisco pay for a draft-day snub in 2005 and the Green Bay Packers survived a second-half surge by the 49ers for a 30-24 victory Sunday.

The game of musical offensive linemen the Green Bay Packers have played throughout the season has bordered on the ridiculous.

CHAREAN WILLIAMS Mike Pereira, the NFL's vice president of officiating, said Wednesday the Cowboys would have lost a challenge on Tony Romo's fumble if the play could have been challenged.

GREEN BAY -- Nick Barnett is a realist. As much as he enjoyed going hog wild after Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo on Sunday and sacking him twice, the Green Bay Packers linebacker knows the stars have to align just right for defensive coordinator Dom Capers to use a similar plan game in and game out.

After Green Bay's 17-7 victory over Dallas, here are three indisputable facts I feel relatively sure about: And here is one question I'm still asking: Anyone else see Charles Woodson whooping it up after his sack/forced fumble of Dallas quarterback Tony Romo ? Woodson obviously didn't know that rookie linebacker Clay Matthews was still chasing a ...

Wonderful Woodson: When the Packers needed someone to step up, Charles Woodson and the defense provided that boost in the second half to give Aaron Rodgers and the offense momentum and excellent field position to work with.

Well, well, well - how 'bout them Packers! Mike McCarthy can forget about tweaking that resume.

Though Aaron Rodgers didn't have one of his more productive games on Sunday, coach Mike McCarthy said he gave his quarterback more responsibility at the line of scrimmage than he ever has in an effort to help the Packers' problems in pass protection.

It was an ugly first half for both teams. The Packers defense certainly took last week's disappointing loss to heart.

Most of the time, you have to wait until late in the year to identify an NFL team's season-defining game.

On a personal note, to be part of the first broadcasting team to cover a live regular season game in the United States on the radio in the UK is a real thrill.

The Green Bay Packers suffered their worst defeat in more than a decade on Sunday despite having nearly their entire team intact from the NFC championship game just 22 months ago.

For a team that can't generate enough of a pass rush, losing the only guy who can consistently get pressure isn't what the Green Bay Packers need as they're about to face a quarterback like Tony Romo.

The NFL has teamed up with Van Heusen and JC Penney for the first "Pro Football Hall of Fame Fan Vote." Although the voting process will not have any effect on the actual Hall of Fame voting this year, it shows some added interest from the league to see what fans think.

In a somber locker room following the Green Bay Packers' loss to the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday, a handful of reporters waited for defensive lineman Johnny Jolly to explain his puzzling first-quarter, momentum-changing personal foul penalty.

Thanks Ted and Mike for ruining our team!!!!!! itsearly, Hope all is well....... As far as this season I haven't been overly impressed with my team.

The Vikings faced the Packers less than a month ago -- 28 days to be exact -- meaning it would seem logical that some of the same shortcomings Brett Favre was able to find in his former team's defense in a 30-23 victory should still be present.

For a guy who lost his starting job in training camp, things have turned out all right for Scott Wells.
