NFL: Green Bay Packers clinch playoff spot as Detroit Lions lose to Vikings

The Detroit Lions dominated the Green Bay Packers in a 24-14 NFL victory at rain-lashed Lambeau Field on Sunday, winning the battle for supremacy in the NFC North division. Detroit's Kerby Joseph returned an interception 27 yards for a touchdown to help the Lions take control in the highly anticipated matchup.

Green Bay struck for an early field goal, but the Lions took the lead for good when quarterback Jared Goff hit Amon-Ra St. Brown with a three-yard touchdown pass in the first minute of the second quarter. They added a field goal and a touchdown in the final minute of the first half as Joseph reeled in a pass from an under-pressure Packers quarterback Jordan Love and raced up the sideline to the end zone.

Detroit scored 24 points before the Packers produced a second field goal. A late Green Bay touchdown made the score more respectable, but the Lions were in control throughout as they improved to 7-1 -- the best record in the NFC -- for the first time since 1956. "It was a fun game," Goff said. "In Green Bay, in Lambeau, we're supposed to be the 'dome team' -- we're supposed to be the team that can't play outside -- and we come in here and win."

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson dazzled in a 41-10 victory over the Denver Broncos while the Buffalo Bills and Los Angeles Rams both won in pulsating division clashes. Jackson threw for 280 yards and three touchdowns as the Ravens bounced back from a shock loss to the Cleveland Browns.

Jackson became the first quarterback in franchise history to throw for at least 275 yards in five straight games and posted his third straight game without an interception. He finished with a perfect passer rating for the fourth time in his career. "I knew what the assignment was," said Jackson, who missed practice on Wednesday and Thursday to rest a balky knee and back. "I definitely studied those guys."

Derrick Henry was effective on the ground for Baltimore, rushing for 107 yards and two touchdowns as the Ravens improved to 6-3.

Henry, who has scored in every game this season, surpassed 1,000 rushing yards for a season for the sixth time.

- Bass the Bills' hero -

In Buffalo, Tyler Bass drilled a 61-yard field goal in the waning seconds to lift the Bills to a 30-27 victory over the Miami Dolphins that strengthened the Bills' grip on the AFC East. Bills quarterback Josh Allen threw for 235 yards and three second-half touchdowns as Buffalo notched a fourth straight victory, improving to 7-2 for the season and 3-0 against division rivals.

Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa had connected with Jaylen Waddle for a seven-yard touchdown that tied it at 27-27 with 1:38 to play.

The Bills were in trouble on their ensuing drive, but a pair of penalties against Miami let Buffalo set up Bass -- who missed an extra point attempt earlier in the game -- for a career-long field goal to seal the victory in a game that featured four lead changes in the fourth quarter.

"I'm so proud of him, happy for him," Allen said of Bass. "The trials and tribulations that he's been through throughout this year ... a 61-yard field goal to win the game against a division rival, it's what stories are made of."

A tense battle in Seattle saw the Rams triumph 26-20 in overtime on Demarcus Robinson's one-handed catch of a 39-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Matthew Stafford.

The Seahawks had scored on a 14-yard touchdown in the final minute of regulation to force overtime, but could not score on the opening drive of the extra session.

The Washington Commanders improved to 7-2 atop the NFC East with a 27-22 victory over NFC East rivals the New York Giants.

Atlanta maintained their grip on the NFC South lead with a 27-21 victory over the Dallas Cowboys, who lost quarterback Dak Prescott to a hamstring injury in the third quarter.

As for the game, the Packers did start well and led the first quarter 6-0. The Eagles scored a whopping 17 points in the second quarter while Green Bay managed 13, putting the game at 19-17 in their favour at half-time. The Eagles took the lead in the third quarter, scoring 14 points against the Packers' 7 and the lead proved to be decisive as both teams managed just three points each in the last quarter.

Philadelphia Eagles ace Darius Slay has criticized the NFL's decision to stage a fixture in Brazil as his team prepares to face the Green Bay Packers in Sao Paulo on Friday.

The Eagles will take on the Packers at the Corinthians Arena on Friday in the first NFL regular season game ever staged in South America as the league extends its reach into new international territories.

However, Eagles cornerback, Slay, admitted on his "Big Play Slay" podcast that while he was looking forward to the game, he was apprehensive about crime in Sao Paulo.

"I'm looking forward to it, can't wait, but man -- I do not want to go to Brazil," Slay said on the podcast.&nbsp;

"You want to know why? I'm going to tell you why. They already told us not to leave the hotel. They told us we can't do too much going on, because the crime rate is crazy."&nbsp;

"I'm like 'NFL, why would you want to send us somewhere with a crime rate this high?'"

Slay added that he had advised his family and loved ones not to travel to Brazil as he did not plan on leaving his hotel.&nbsp;

"I told my family do not come down there because I'm not going to be nowhere to be found," Slay said. "I'm going to be in my hotel chilling, minding my own business after a long nine-and-a-half hour flight."

Slay's remarks echoed comments by Eagles team-mate A.J. Brown, who said last week that players had been issued with a "whole bunch of 'Don't do's.'"

"So I'm just trying to go down there and win a football game, and come back home," Brown said. "But after hearing all this stuff, I'm probably going to be in my room," the receiver added.

Eagles coach Nick Sirianni said on Sunday his players were focused solely on coming away with a win as they kick off their 2024/2025 campaign.

"We're going there to play and win a football game," Sirianni said. "That's our only goal as we go down there. It's just getting everybody in the right mindset of what you need to be when you go down there. You can control the things that you can control.&nbsp;

"We're going to Brazil to play. That's what it is. We're excited about that."

Friday's fixture in Sao Paulo marks the second game of the 2024-2025 season, which opens on Thursday when the Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs host the Baltimore Ravens.

'I'm not going...,' Eagles' Darius Slay ahead of season opener vs Packers in Brazil

The Dallas Cowboys crashed out of the NFL playoffs with a humiliating 48-32 defeat to the seventh-seeded Green Bay Packers in the wildcard round on Sunday while the Detroit Lions advanced with a 24-23 win over the Los Angeles Rams.

The Packers, the youngest team in the NFL who snuck into the playoffs on the final day of the regular season with a 9-8 record, totally dominated the Cowboys before allowing two late touchdowns.

The Lions won a playoff game for the first time in 32 years with quarterback Jared Goff leading Detroit to a tight victory against his former team.

Packers quarterback Jordan Love, who took over in Green Bay this season after the departure of Aaron Rodgers, threw for 272 yards and three touchdowns in a stunning playoff debut.

Running-back Aaron Jones had three rushing touchdowns and put up 118 yards on the ground and the Packers earned a clash with the top-seeded San Francisco 49ers.

Dallas gave up the most points in a playoff game in franchise history while quarterback Dak Prescott threw two costly interceptions in a nightmare first half which saw the home side fall 27-0 down in the second quarter.

The manner and scale of the defeat are likely to raise questions over the future of Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy, a former Super Bowl winner with the Packers who was hired to end the wait for another Cowboys NFL championship, which has now stretched to 28 years.

Green Bay's confidence was evident from the outset as they elected to receive and scored a touchdown on their first drive - Jones rushing in from three yards.

<h2>Miserable Day</h2>

Prescott's miserable day began with an interception -- &nbsp;cornerback Jaire Alexander picking him off and the Packers taking over 19-yards out and Jones scoring from three-yards on the third play.

Green Bay's offense was meeting no resistance as Love delivered a 20-yard touchdown pass to Dontayvion&nbsp;Wicks who had escaped Dallas corner Stephon Gilmore.

It got worse for the Cowboys when Prescott's pass was grabbed by Packers safety Darnell Savage who returned it 64-yards to make it 27-0.

That was the largest deficit the Cowboys had ever faced at home in the post-season but they kept a glimmer of hope for the second half with Prescott finding Jake Ferguson with a one-yard pass in the final seconds of the second quarter.

After a Cowboys field goal though, Jones ran in his third touchdown, his nine-yard rush making it 34-10.

Tony Pollard ran in a touchdown for Dallas but again the Cowboys defense couldn't stop Green Bay as Love found a wide open Luke Musgrave with a 38-yard touchdown pass.

The unflappable Love found Romeo Doubs with a three-yard touchdown pass to give the visitors a 32 point lead with 10:23 left in the fourth quarter.

The Packers finally eased off, allowing two touchdowns for Dallas - both from Prescott passes to Ferguson but it was too late for any miracle comeback.

The Lions were hosting a playoff game for the first time since 1993 and they will be at their Ford Field again next week to face the winner of Monday's game between the Philadelphia Eagles and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

As well as pitting Goff against his former Rams, Sunday's game brought LA's quarterback Matthew Stafford back to face Detroit after the teams swapped the pair in 2021.

The Lions struck first in an explosive first half with David Montgomery rushing in from one yard for a touchdown and after a Rams field goal, the Lions opened up a 14-3 lead on Jahmyr Gibbs 10-yard run.

Stafford brought the Rams back into contention with a perfectly delivered 50-yard touchdown pass wide-left to Puka Nacua.

Sam LaPorta collected a two-yard touchdown pass from Goff to restore the 11-point advantage for Detroit only for the Rams to respond swiftly with Stafford connecting with Tutu Atwell on a 38-yard touchdown.

The Lions extended their lead to 10 points with a 54-yard field goal from Michael Badgley but two field goals from Brett Maher brought the Rams within a point.

Detroit had the ball on their 17-yard line with 4:07 left in the game and Goff made sure of the win with two first downs, the second coming via a well-worked 11-yard pass to receiver Amon-Ra St.Brown which set off emotional celebrations among their long suffering fans.

"It means a whole lot to this city, we knew what it meant when this season started, to get into the playoffs and then get this win," said Goff.

"It's just the beginning for us, we've got some road left."

Young Packers show exit gate to Dallas Cowboys in playoffs; Detroit Lions advance

The Green Bay Packers, four-times Super Bowl winners, grabbed a place in the NFL playoffs on the final day of the regular season after a 17-9 victory over divisional rivals the Chicago Bears on Sunday.

The Packers' win secured them the last available wildcard spot in the NFC while in the AFC, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers ground out victory over the Carolina Panthers to book their place in the postseason.

Packers quarterback Jordan Love, in his first full season as a starter after replacing Aaron Rodgers, found Dontayvion Wicks with a 12-yard pass in the third quarter to put the Packers 14-6 up.

The Bears could only manage a fourth quarter field goal in response and then Anders Carlson calmed any nerves at Lambeau Field with a 25-yard field goal to secure the win and send Green Bay into the post-season.

The Packers take the seventh seed spot and will travel to face the second-seeded Dallas Cowboys in wildcard weekend, a classic match-up of two of the league's historic franchises.

Dallas took care of business, winning the NFC East and the second seed with a 38-10 win over the Washington Commanders.

Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott threw for 279 yards and four touchdowns as Dallas ended with a 12-5 record for the third straight season under head coach Mike McCarthy.

The Los Angeles Rams, who beat the San Francisco 49ers 21-20, take the sixth seed and will face the Lions in Detroit, a game which curiously pits both teams' quarterbacks against their former clubs.

The Rams took Matthew Stafford from the Lions in 2021 and sent Jared Goff to Detroit as part of the trade.

The 49ers, who had already secured the top seed in the NFC and a bye-week, rested starting quarterback Brock Purdy and the Rams also kept Stafford out of action.

<h2>Eagles stumble again</h2>

Stafford's back-up, Carson Wentz won the game with a 12-yard rush with 4:56 left in the fourth quarter.

The Lions, already qualified for the playoffs, claimed the third seed with a 30-20 win over the Minnesota Vikings.&nbsp;

The other NFC wildcard game will see Tampa Bay host the Philadelphia Eagles after three field goals from Chase McLaughlin sealed a dour 9-0 win for Tampa Bay in Charlotte.

The win ensured the 2021 Super Bowl champions advance to the postseason as NFC South divisional winners -- their third straight crown.

The Eagles lost 27-10 at the New York Giants, the fifth defeat in their last six games for last season's Super Bowl runners-up.&nbsp;

As the Bucs celebrated, the Jacksonville Jaguars were eliminated after a 28-20 defeat to Tennessee in Nashville that completed a miserable late season collapse.

Jacksonville looked to be cruising towards the postseason in late November after leading their division with an 8-3 record.

But the Jaguars' season imploded with five defeats in their final six regular season games as the fast-improving Houston Texans overtook them to clinch the AFC South.

The Titans – already eliminated from playoff contention -- took control of Sunday's clash in the third quarter when DeAndre Hopkins gathered a Ryan Tannehill pass for a six-yard touchdown completion that made it 28-13.

Jacksonville looked to launch a fourth quarter rally after Evan Engram's touchdown from Trevor Lawrence cut the gap to 28-20.

But after regaining possession, the Jags' bid for a potentially game-tying touchdown score faltered when Lawrence's attempt to reach into the end zone on fourth down was stopped just short to give possession back to the Titans.

Jacksonville had one last attempted drive but Lawrence was unable to make any headway – tossing an attempted throw on fourth down well beyond reach of his intended receiver -- as the Titans closed out the win.

Jacksonville's defeat means both the Buffalo Bills and Pittsburgh Steelers clinched their playoff places.&nbsp;

The Bills face the Miami Dolphins later Sunday where a win will see them clinch the AFC East division, while the Steelers – winners over a depleted Baltimore on Saturday – have also squeezed into the wild card round despite finishing third in the AFC North.

In New England meanwhile, what could turn out to be the final game of the Bill Belichick era ended in defeat as the once-mighty Patriots slumped to a 17-3 loss against the New York Jets.

The defeat condemned the Patriots to a 4-13 regular season record – the worst of Belichick's 24-year reign in New England.

Green Bay Packers, Tampa Bay Buccaneers clinch playoff spot, Jaguars crash out

Pop icon Taylor Swift and Olympic champion gymnast Simone Biles brought star-power to the stands at Sunday's Packers-Chiefs clash in snowy Green Bay, where they turned out to cheer their significant others. Swift's blossoming romance with Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce has brought the NFL a whole new wave of fans as her hundreds of millions of social media followers checked out her new squeeze.

The "Cruel Summer" singer's appearance at two Chiefs games earlier this season saw television ratings spike and sales of Kelce's jersey soar 400 percent. Social media trends saw Swift fans poring over Kelce's old tweets in delight as the NFL leaned in to what it called a "pop cultural moment."

Swift attended her first game in Kansas City in September, and was on hand when the Chiefs played the New York Jets in New Jersey in October. She then headed out for the South American leg of her Eras tour, and is now taking another break before taking the tour to Asia in February.

Biles, a four-time Olympic gold medallist who is targeting more gold at the 2024 Paris Games after a two-year hiatus from gymnastics, is married to Packers safety Jonathan Owens. Owens was traded from the Houston Texans to the Packers after he and Biles wed in April, and Biles has endeared herself to fans in her new city with her support of the team on social media.

On Sunday afternoon she posted a photo on X, formerly Twitter, that showed her and Owens embracing in a snowy backyard with the caption "Packer wonderland." Biles, clad in a Packers parka, was seen exchanging a pre-game kiss with Owens on the sideline shortly before kickoff.

Taylor Swift, Simone Biles bring star-power to stand during Packers vs Chiefs

Kansas City Chiefs running back Isiah Pacheco faced the ejection after throwing a punch against Green Bay Packers cornerback Keisean Nixon on Sunday (Dec. 3). The incident happened with only a minute left on the clock in the game.&nbsp;

The Chiefs were at 1st-and-10 at the Packers' 45 when quarterback Patrick Mahomes threw a pass to wide receiver Rashee Rice. The WR caught it at exactly 10 yards but the ball popped out of his hand after being tackled. Packers CB Corey Ballentine recovered the ball, ran for a pick-six and scored.

The 49ers were handed a 15-yard penalty after LB Greenlaw slammed Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith to the ground post whistle. It happened near the Eagles sidelines and Big Dom came onto the ground to have a word with the LB. Greenlaw didn't seem happy with whatever was said to him and made contact with Big Dom's face.

The 49ers were handed a 15-yard penalty after LB Greenlaw slammed Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith to the ground post whistle. It happened near the Eagles sidelines and Big Dom came onto the ground to have a word with the LB. Greenlaw didn't seem happy with whatever was said to him and made contact with Big Dom's face. Both were ejected by the officials after the incident.

Jordan Love led the Green Bay Packers to a Thanksgiving Day surprise as they beat the in-form Detroit Lions 29-22 in the NFL Thursday while the Dallas Cowboys and San Francisco 49ers continued their march towards the post-season.

Cowboys cornerback DaRon Bland set a new NFL record for "pick sixes" when he ran in an interception for a touchdown in a 45-10 blowout win over the Washington Commanders. The 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey continued his standout season, putting up 114 yards and rushing two touchdowns in a 31-13 win at Seattle.

Green Bay quarterback Love produced his most accomplished performance since taking over from Aaron Rodgers for this season, throwing for three touchdowns and 268 yards as he connected on 22 of 32 passes in the upset win over the Lions.

The Packers scored three touchdowns in the opening quarter and went in 23-6 up at half-time with their offense firing and their defense applying pressure to Lions quarterback Jared Goff. Green Bay scored on the first drive of the game, with Love passing short left to Jayden Reed at the end of a five-play, 75-yard drive which began with a superb 53-yard pass to Christian Watson.

The Lions responded immediately with Goff connecting with Sam LaPorta with a pinpoint pass through coverage into the end-zone. But Love, who spent three years on the bench as back-up to Rodgers, was in the mood and replied by leading his team on a 10-play, 75-yard drive which concluded with a nine-yard pass, short right to Tucker Kraft.

The game turned decisively in Green Bay's direction when Rashan Gary got to Goff, forcing a fumble as the quarterback threw, the loose ball recovered by Jonathan Owens, who dashed 27 yards for a touchdown. Love credited the growing understanding on offense for their explosive start but also highlighted the defense for the pressure they put on Goff, particularly Gary, who delivered three sacks and forced two fumbles. "They're putting up a lot of pressure. RG was at the quarterback every time. They got some big-time turnovers so it was a huge performance by them," he said.

<h2>Home streak&nbsp;</h2>

The Cowboys extended their home winning streak to 13 games with a convincing victory over Washington with quarterback Dak Prescott throwing for 331 yards and four touchdowns. Dallas led 20-10 at the half thanks to Prescott's touchdown passes to Rico Dowdle and Brandin Cooks, and a seven-yard rush from running-back Tony Pollard.

Dallas ran away with the game in the fourth quarter and crowned their victory with Bland's record-breaking interception return. Bland had equalled the record of four "pick sixes" in a single season in last week's win over Carolina.

This time he anticipated Sam Howell's pass intended for Jahan Dotson and then raced into the endzone for a 63-yard score. "It just means everything, to have the fans, family, coaches there. Doing it on Thanksgiving Day is another day to be thankful for," said Bland.

The win moves the Cowboys to 8-3 on the season while divisional rivals Washington slump to 4-8. The Philadelphia Eagles lead the NFC East on 9-1. The defeat increases the pressure on Commanders head coach Ron Rivera but he said he wasn't concerned about his future.

"I've told you before I'm not worried about anything. All I'm going to do is do my job and see how things go. That's the only thing I can do," said Rivera. The 49ers opened up a 24-3 lead by half-time in Seattle with McCaffrey charging in to score twice in the second quarter and take his season touchdown tally to 11, a single-season franchise record.

Seattle got a glimmer of hope early in the third when Jordyn Brooks intercepted a deflected pass from 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy and scampered home. But San Francisco's defense, dominant in sacking Seahawks quarterback Geno Smith six times, held firm and the win was wrapped up when Purdy found Brandon Aiyuk down the middle for a 28-yard touchdown.&nbsp;

The 'Niners move to 8-3 and lead the NFC West by two games from the 6-5 Seahawks. San Francisco next face a rematch of last year's NFC Championship game when they take on conference leaders Philadelphia on December 3.The holiday program continues on Friday with the New York Jets hosting the Miami Dolphins.

Green Bay Packers stun Detroit Lions on thanksgiving, Dallas Cowboys and San Francisco 49ers march on

The preseason game between the New England Patriots and the Green Bay Packers ended with an unfortunate incident. The referee and both coaches decided to call off the game after Patriots' rookie cornerback Isaiah Bolden fell on the ground after colliding with his teammate.

Bolden, who was covering a slant pass, and ran into teammate Calvin Munson. The rookie immediately fell on the ground and stayed there as the medical staff arrived. The incident revived the memories of Damar Hamlin incident in December last year. Hamlin had suffered a cardiac arrest mid-game during 'Monday Night Football.'

NFL: Patriots, Packers preseason game cut short after New England CB Isaiah Bolden gets injured - WATCH

Aaron Rodgers came to New York in April this year and is yet to play a single snap for the Jets. His future in the Big Apple, however, already became a topic of contention before and after the practice on Friday, July 21. While the former Green Bay Packers QB didn't commit to playing in 2024 for the Jets, he thinks not doing so would be a 'disservice' to them.

"The Jets gave up a lot for me, so to just play one year would be a disservice," said the Jets QB on ESPN New York 98.7 FM before practice on Friday. "Now if that one year turns out to be a magical year, who knows? It's more than that. It's how my body feels, and I've made some changes this offseason with some training and diet."

"The way I feel now, I think I could play a number of years," said Rodgers about his current fitness and mindset. The 39-year-old, gearing up for his 19th NFL season, although wants to see how his body holds up during the season.&nbsp;

Jets coach Robert Saleh was asked about his star QB's future after the Friday's practice and said "he doesn't want to put Rodgers in a corner about committing."

"I don't want to back him into a corner and make him commit to something like that," Saleh said. "I just want him to have fun and know that when he walks in this building to let loose and have a little bit of fun, BS with the guys, come in the office, come talk to us and just enjoy playing football. Odds are if you enjoy playing football, you're going to want to keep doing it. I wouldn't put pressure on him to commit to something like that anyway, but I'd be shocked if he doesn't play multiple years. He looks like a little kid out there."

Notably, the Jets had shelled a bomb to acquire Rodgers from Green Bay in April. The trade package for the QB included a 2023 second-round pick and a conditional 2024 second rounder that becomes a first-round pick if Rodgers plays in 65% of the snaps.

NFL: Packers QB Jordan Love reveals why he wished 'Happy Father's Day' to rival Bears fans

Aaron Rodgers, the newest quarterback in New York Jets, is having a blast with his new franchise and says 'It's been a dream.' Notably, it has just been a week since Rodgers' long-awaited transfer to the Jets from the Green Bay Packers - the team with which the QB spent 18 years - took place.

Rodgers, appearing on The Pat McAfee Show&nbsp;on Tuesday, said, "I am having an absolute blast. It's been so fun," Rodgers said. "It's been great. Everything is new. It's like the first day of school every single day. There are new people to meet and got to figure out your routine," said Rodgers.

"I'm just pinching myself a lot of days. I can't believe it's real sometimes. So it's been a dream for sure," added the QB.

Rodgers also said that he's loving meeting his new teammates and totally enjoyed the playoff games of the Knicks and Rangers, both.

"I think everybody's excited to have me here. It's been fun to get to know the guys and start working on my cadence and just kind of ease into it all," he said

Speaking on the sports culture of the Big Apple, Rodgers admitted that he'll be in good graces as long as he's winning. "New York is a great sports city. They expect winning as well, so as long as you're winning, you're gonna be in good graces, which we expect to," said the Jets QB.

Among the teammates who have impressed Rodgers in his time at the Jets so far is Garrett Wilson.&nbsp;

"He's a talented guy. I threw him a pass today and just kind of turned and was like, 'Wow.' His ability to kind of get in out of his brakes, there's another No. 17 I played with for a long time who does it better than anybody," Rodgers said. "But the explosiveness in and out of the breaks to No. 17 here is pretty similar." Notably, Wilson is the NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year.

Rodgers, appearing on The Pat McAfee Show on Tuesday, said, "I am having an absolute blast. It's been so fun," Rodgers said. "It's been great. Everything is new. It's like the first day of school every single day. There are new people to meet and got to figure out your routine," said Rodgers. "I'm just pinching myself a lot of days. I can't believe it's real sometimes. So it's been a dream for sure," added the QB.

"I think everybody's excited to have me here. It's been fun to get to know the guys and start working on my cadence and just kind of ease into it all," he said Speaking on the sports culture of the Big Apple, Rodgers admitted that he'll be in good graces as long as he's winning. "New York is a great sports city. They expect winning as well, so as long as you're winning, you're gonna be in good graces, which we expect to," said the Jets QB. Among the teammates who have impressed Rodgers in his time at the Jets so far is Garrett Wilson. "He's a talented guy. I threw him a pass today and just kind of turned and was like, 'Wow.' His ability to kind of get in out of his brakes, there's another No. 17 I played with for a long time who does it better than anybody," Rodgers said. "But the explosiveness in and out of the breaks to No. 17 here is pretty similar." Notably, Wilson is the NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year.

NFL: Aaron Rodgers absolutely enjoying being with New York Jets, says 'it's been a dream'

Aaron Rodgers, one of the finest quarterbacks to ever play in the National Football League (NFL), finally got traded to the New York Jets from Green Bay Packers. The Packers confirmed the news saying a deal has been reached with the Jets for the trade. Although, the deal would have to be signed by Tuesday.

"I have so much respect for Aaron and the person he is. He has done so much for this organization," said Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst.

"I know this. He will always be a Packer. He'll be one of the best who has ever done it around here. He'll be missed. Players like that don't come around very often. But we are very excited about where we are going. This has all got to get finalized to get done. But we have a great appreciation for him," Gutekunst added.

As per the deal, the Packers are going to send Rodgers along with their 15th overall first-round pick and a fifth round pick in 2023 NFL Draft, scheduled to be held from April 27-29. In return, the Packers will get 13th overall first-round pick, a second and sixth-round pick in 2023 NFL Draft and a 2024 second-round pick as well.

The 2024 second-round pick could become a first-round pick if Rodgers played 65% of his snaps this year for the Jets.

Rodgers, who was picked by the Packers as 24th overall pick in the 2005 NFL Draft, has not played for any other NFL team in his career apart from them. During his stint with the Packers, Rodgers went on to become the Most Valuable Player (MVP) four times. With him at the helm, the Packers made to the playoffs 11 times in his 15-year career as a starter&nbsp;in Green Bay.

Rodgers also was named the Super Bowl MVP in 2011 after leading Green Bay to a 31-25 victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers.

NFL: Green Bay Packers trade quarterback Aaron Rodgers to New York Jets

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers has come out from his 'darkness retreat' in Oregon. Sky Cave Retreats owner Scott Berman said Wednesday that the Packers QB has left the dark room. Rodgers had gone in 'darkness isolation' to 'have a better sense of where I'm at in my life.'&nbsp;

The 39-year-old quarterback, who has played the entire 18 years of his career with the Packers, had said on February 7, on The Pat McAfee Show, &nbsp;that he would decide on his future after coming back from the 'isolation retreat of complete darkness.'&nbsp;

"I'm still in the art of contemplation about my future," Rodgers said on the show. "That’s why I think it’s going to be important to get through this week and then to take my isolation retreat and just be able to contemplate all things my future and then make a decision that I feel like is best for me moving forward and the highest interest of my happiness and then move forward," he added.

The four-time MVP although, made it clear on the February 14 edition of that show and said that he was not going to the retreat only to figure out whether to play in the 2023 NFL season or retire.

The dark room in the retreat where Rodgers spent days is a partially underground 300-square-foot structure without sunlight. The room, however, is fully powered with lights inside, a queen bed, a bathroom, and a meditation-like mat, as per the facility owner.

Rodgers is currently under contract with the Green Bay Packers for $59.465 million guaranteed if he decided to play in 2023. Rodgers' exit, however, may open the door for Jordan Love to become the starter at the Packers. Mark Murphy, the Green Bay president, earlier this month said that there isn't a deadline for Rodgers to make his decision but that he hoped for one before the beginning of free agency.

NFL: Packers QB Aaron Rodgers comes out of his 'darkness retreat'

If you want to get on the right side of Wisconsin locals you can do two things -- dress like you are a Green Bay Packers supporter and wear a giant slice of foam cheese on your head.

The European&nbsp;Ryder&nbsp;Cup team did both on Wednesday as they launched a charm offensive at Whistling Straits before facing the hostile US&nbsp;home crowd when play begins on Friday in the biennial event.

Wearing green-and-yellow striped outfits, the 12-man European squad looked like they were getting ready to run out on to Lambeau Field, home of the NFL's Green Bay Packers, as much as get in some practice on the links style layout.

To complete the look, the Europeans donned huge foam wedges of orange cheese before lining up for a team photo to the delight of spectators who screamed their approval.

"When we were doing the clothing they were talking about maybe bringing some Irish colours in for me," said European captain Padraig Harrington. "I'm not really into that sort of stuff, so I came up with why don't we do something with Wisconsin.

"Obviously, the Green Bay Packers fit both the Irish and the Green Bay Packers, and then the cheeseheads came in and a bit of fun with it.

"Look, it's lighthearted. You want it that way in practice.

"It's somewhat respectful of obviously the Green Bay Packers, and they were very much on board with this, so a bit of fun and we got a nice reception with it.

"Obviously, business starts on Friday, but at the moment the players are enjoying it and having a good time of it."

Certainly the Europeans do not expect the same reception when play gets underway.

Back on American soil for the first time in five years and with COVID-19 travel restrictions in place, the usual army of European fans will be absent from Whistling Straits, leaving Harrington's 12-man team to face a super-charged atmosphere over the three days of competition.

"The U.S. fans have been brilliant to far, they really have," said European stalwart Ian Poulter, who will be playing in his seventh&nbsp;Ryder&nbsp;Cup. "They're wishing me well. Not too well, but they're wishing me well, which is quite nice.

"That hasn't always been the case, but so far so good."

Without their usual crowd support, Tommy Fleetwood said the Europeans would lean on each other to make the right atmosphere.

"I think we create it ourselves and we do it with each other," said Fleetwood. "Of course, this is a different challenge, different atmosphere for us.

"Even though it's not my first&nbsp;Ryder&nbsp;Cup, it's my first one in America. I'm still excited by the challenge and what an away crowd for us brings to it, and maybe the advantage that the Americans have."
