GREEN BAY Kenny Golladay Jersey White , Wis. (AP) — Allen Lazard wasn’t even on the Packers‘ initial 53-man roster.The 6-foot-5 receiver was cut before the season, signed to the practice squad, only to end up on the roster in short order.But on Monday night, Green Bay needed Lazard, and the undrafted second-year pro delivered with a career-high four catches for a career-best 65 yards and his first career touchdown in a 23-22 win over Detroit.“It was obviously an awesome moment, getting my first touchdown, especially here in Lambeau,” Lazard said. “Just kind of fulfilling the journey of being able to be here with this amazing organization. To catch a touchdown in a critical moment is something huge and something that, as a kid, you grow up dreaming about. It feels great to fulfill it.”WHAT’S WORKINGMatt LaFleur and Aaron Rodgers. The Packers are 5-1 and in sole possession of first place in the NFC North, and yes Womens Kenny Golladay Jersey , their defense is a big part of that. But all the noise surrounding the relationship between the 39-year-old first-year coach and the 35-year-old Super Bowl-winning quarterback has been drowned out by the franchise’s best start since 2015 and best start in the division (3-0) since 2012.In order for Green Bay to have success this season, LaFleur and Rodgers were going to have to learn to trust one another. They have. Rodgers has trusted LaFleur’s playcalls. Even when they didn’t work. And it was LaFleur and his staff who trusted Rodgers on Monday night when Rodgers lobbied for Lazard, the sixth receiver in the Packers’ six-man receiving group, to get in the game.“I may have put in a good word there in the fourth quarter to get him some opportunities,” Rodgers said.Rodgers said he went to wide receivers coach Alvis Whitted and asked “if 13 could come in for a little bit.”Lazard had never caught a pass in a regular-season game from Rodgers before Monday.WHAT’S NOT WORKINGA win’s a win. But the Packers offense is still struggling. Green Bay was 4-for-12 on third down and 1-for-4 in the red zone on Monday. LaFleur said Tuesday that he and his staff also counted six dropped passes against the Lions, including the dropped touchdowns by Aaron Jones and Jimmy Graham.“There certainly were some drops out there that our guys would like to have back,” LaFleur said. “Aaron (Rodgers) is so consistent, and that’s why he is who he is. And any time you have a quarterback like that, you always believe that you can come back and win a football game and I think our guys believe that as well.”It’s difficult to ask Rodgers to keep bailing out his teammates. They have to help him out by grabbing the catchable passes.STOCK UPLazard. With Rodgers’ top target Davante Adams sidelined indefinitely with turf toe, Geronimo Allison leaving Monday’s game with a concussion and rookie Darrius Shepherd’s stock falling (see below), Lazard’s stock has never been higher. He has the trust of Rodgers and that goes a long way and will likely result in more targets.STOCK DOWNShepherd. Everyone has bad games. Everyone doesn’t have bad games on “Monday Night Football” as an undrafted rookie. Shepherd fumbled a punt return and had a pass from Rodgers bounce off his hands and facemask near the goal line and land in the hands of a Lions defender. Luckily for Shepherd http://www.lionslockerroom.com/authentic-dwayne-washington-jersey , both plays only resulted in field goals and he seems to still have the backing of his head coach.“It was a tough night, but he continued to battle and he’s going to have to put it behind him,” LaFleur said of Shepherd. “I know that I certainly still trust him. But it was a rough night and he’s just going to have to bounce back and we’re going to support him. We’re just fortunate to come out on top.”INJUREDIf Allison (chest, concussion) and Adams (toe) can’t suit up against the Raiders on Sunday, general manager Brian Gutekunst will need to add another receiver. Green Bay only has Marquez Valdes-Scantling, Jake Kumerow, Lazard and Shepherd.KEY NUMBER5-1 — LaFleur is 5-1 in his first season as an NFL head coach. The other five rookie head coaches are a combined 6-22-1.NEXT STEPSThe Packers have a short week to prepare for the Raiders. Green Bay will play its fifth home game in six weeks when it hosts Oakland on Sunday. The Packers have won their past seven regular-season matchups against the Raiders.

Rebilas-USA TODAY SportsThe Detroit Lions 2019 schedule was released Wednesday night and of course your favorite writer had some thoughts. Here are a few instant reactions to the Lions 2019 schedule reveal:Matchups with the Packers get the spotlightBoth of Detroit’s matchups with the Green Bay Packers earned prime spots on their schedules, as the NFL shows that they still see some potential in the rivalry even after both teams had dismal 2018 seasons. Their Week 5 matchup at Lambeau Field will be on “Monday Night Football” and close out a week of NFL action. They will meet once again at Ford Field in the all-important Week 17. If both teams live up to expectations this season, then that game has potential to decide the fate of the NFC North or even serve as some sort of playoff preview. Both contests may end up as games that the entire league has an eye on, and these two matchups can help breathe life into a rivalry that had a quiet 2018.The NFL can not get enough of the Bears on Thanksgiving For the second consecutive season Womens Tracy Walker Jersey , the opponent in the Lions annual Thanksgiving matchup will be the Chicago Bears. It makes sense, though. Chicago is one of the bigger markets in the league, and a defense that features Khalil Mack and the Bears devastating pass rush is sure to bring in some eyes. It does feel a little underwhelming, though. Thanksgiving and Week 17 are two of the most exciting games of the season for Lions fans, but now it seems that both weeks have been locked up with annual matchups rather than a new exciting foe every year. More repeats? Cardinals to start the season againWay back in Week 1 of the 2017 season, then rookie receiver Kenny Golladay announced himself to the league with a two-touchdown performance against the Arizona Cardinals in a Lions victory. Golladay and the Lions will have a chance to impress once again to start the year, as they have been slotted to face Arizona in Week 1.The Lions and Cardinals have had a quiet rivalry over the years. In 2014, they were the top two teams in the NFC when they met in Week 11. In 2015, Matthew Stafford was benched in arguably the worst game of his career as the then winless Lions were bludgeoned at the hands of their opponents. In 2017 and 2018, Detroit came out victorious as both Darius Slay and Zach Zenner shined in the 2018 version of the match up.Arizona also has the first overall pick in the 2019 draft. Rumors say they have interest in Oklahoma quarterback Kyler Murray and are expected to take the Heisman trophy winner at No. 1. The quarterback’s first NFL action may come against what is shaping up to be a great Lions defense. Rough start to the seasonAfter the Cardinals in Week 1, the Lions schedule significantly ramps up in difficulty. While we do not yet know how good each team will be in 2019 Womens Da'Shawn Hand Jersey , we can make a few educated guesses, and those guesses tell us Detroit may have another rough start to the year. Starting in Week 2, Detroit will be matched up against three straight 2018 playoff teams in the Los Angeles Chargers, Philadelphia Eagles and Kansas City Chiefs. Then after a bye week, they head to Lambeau Field to face the Packers, before heading back to Ford Field to take on a tough Minnesota Vikings team that was a half-game out of the playoffs last year. The second half of the schedule sees things tone down a bit, but do not be totally surprised if we are already looking towards the 2020 draft in early November.
