Packers finally get a decent drive going but then a red zone interception. Luckily PBS has a history of London show. Brian ---

The Packers defense looked terrible in the first half against the Saints, letting Winston and Kamara move the ball at will. Rodgers didn’t do much in the first half, until the drive that yielded a field goal as the half ran out. And, then, as @N9IWP noted, he threw a rare interception in the red zone. Not an auspicious start, though, at this rate, the entire NFC North could well be at 0-1 by the end of the day. ---

I think he’s decided he really, really, wants to be full time host of Jeopardy!, so he’s trying to free up time on his schedule. ---

The Browns just had an entire drive of runs, like 8 in a row, ending in a TD. You almost never see that outside of the last few minutes of the 4th quarter. Just domination at the line of scrimmage. ---

No matter what happens, the Bears will finish week 1 in first place. ---

I’m okay with that. Opening at KC is one of the hardest challenges you can get and they almost made it. It was a good game. ---

The Browns also learn from their mistakes. They lost to Pittsburgh last year but won when it mattered. If they can stay injury-free, they’ll be fine. They’ll probably win their division for starters. ---

I don’t care that they lost, the Browns were awesome (and should be this year). ---

The Brown’s made the third classic blunder - being ahead of the Chiefs by less then two scores in the fourth quarter. And also, although I realize that Chubb can’t carry the ball every play, it was probably what they needed to do - the Chief’s defense sucks and the run defense in particular has an attraction to donkey balls.
