The Packers shutout the Buffalo Bills on Sunday 22-0 and improved their record to 2-1-1 on the season. So everything seems to be going well in Green Bay, right? Not so fast. After the game, quarterback Aaron Rodgers wasn’t too happy with the offense and even went as far to say it was “terrible” during Sunday afternoon’s victory at Lambeau Field. But aside from being unhappy with the offense, regardless of it putting up 400 yards, the quarterback seemingly threw shade at head coach Mike McCarthy? Rodgers noted after the win that even though he believed many players played well, the game didn’t seem to have any “flow.”

Alex Rodriguez Has Two Concerns About Red Sox’s World Series Chances
The Boston Red Sox own the best record in Major League Baseball, and they’ll therefore have home-field advantage throughout the postseason. To say expectations are high would be a major understatement. The Red Sox aren’t without their flaws, though, and former All-Star slugger Alex Rodriguez identified two concerns for Boston while discussing the upcoming MLB playoffs Friday with ESPN’s Stephen A.

Richard Sherman Offers Measured Reaction To Panthers Signing Eric Reid
Richard Sherman isn’t impressed that an NFL team finally did the right thing. On Thursday, the Carolina Panthers signed safety Eric Reid to a one-year contract.
