The Green Bay Packers’ season will finally come to a close on Sunday
Kingsley Keke Jersey Mens , as they host the Detroit Lions to finish out an ugly 2018 campaign. Both teams entered this season with high hopes — the Packers with a
new GM and a new defensive coordinator and the Lions with a new head coach.
However, both teams have scuffled and struggled mightily this season, as they
sit in the bottom two slots in the NFC North. The Packers have clinched third
place in the division, as even with a Detroit win on Sunday the Lions will
remain a half-game back of the Packers. That means that Green Bay will face the
third-place teams in both the NFC South and NFC West next season, but both of
those divisions still have their final standings in question.Detroit head coach
Matt Patricia may be on the hot seat already, however, after just one season.
The Lions’ defense has been less then stellar, though injuries have certainly
taken a toll on it. Patricia’s recent tardiness also seems unbecoming of a head
coach. So keep an eye on the Lions on Black Monday, particularly if they come
out looking flat at Lambeau Field this weekend.Fans outside of Wisconsin and

changes at NFL Annual Meeting Milwaukee Journal Sentinel-USA TAs 31 NFL owners
gather in Arizona this week, Green Bay Packers president Mark Murphy heads there
as well as the team’s primary representative for the NFL’s Annual Meeting. This
year’s meeting is sure to generate some headlines for the league as a whole —
between rules changes, Robert Kraft’s ongoing legal saga, and preparations for
the NFL Draft, it should be a fascinating few days.For the Packers, particularly
the team’s personnel department
Josh Jackson Jersey , the focus has shifted from the chaos of free agency to the excitement of the 2019 NFL Draft. Pro Days continue and player visits will begin
soon, as the team weighs its options with two first-round selections. Given some
of the rumblings about quarterbacks, general manager Brian Gutekunst should be
feeling good about getting an impact player with the 12th pick (and possibly the
30th as well), and there are any number of different directions he can go.Still,
for the next few days we’ll be keeping a close eye out to see if the NFL makes
any adjustments to instant replay or overtime — after all, rules changes are
usually the biggest item to come out of these meetings. And with Murphy being
one of the members of the Competition Committee, which largely dictates the
direction the league goes on these changes, any comments from him should shed
some light on the likelihood of approving any of the tweaks.Inbox: There’s
