Quinn is no stranger to mimicking Aaron Rodgers’ belt celebration; it’s something he has done it in the past. Sunday night, during the Packers’ 45-30 win over the Bears, the Chicago defensive end again mocked Rodgers’ famed championship belt gesture following a sack of the Green Bay QB in the first quarter.

The rumor in question originated with CBS Sports’ Boomer Esiason. He reported last week during his show “Boomer and Gio” that a source heard from Rodgers’ “direct circle” that the Packers quarterback was considering boycotting the Super Bowl because of the NFL’s COVID protocols. Rodgers addressed the topic during his weekly appearance on “The Pat McAfee Show” Tuesday afternoon and called it “so ridiculously stupid.” ODDS: Packers, Chiefs favored to win Super Bowl 56...

The sixth-year defensive tackle reportedly suffered a torn bicep, an injury that will cost the Packers’ 2009 first-round draft pick his season. “The results are in and they are not good. #Packers NT BJ Raji is out for the season with a torn bicep, source says. This was the fear” — Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) Letroy Guion and rookie Mike Pennel are the listed backups on Green Bay’s depth chart....

The blame will fall on him after the ugly 19-7 Week 3 loss at Detroit. But the Packers (1-2) don’t look like Super Bowl contenders solely because Rodgers; it’s for two simple reasons: They can neither run the ball nor stop the run.

The Packers set up their win in the first half at a cold Lambeau Field, taking a 21-3 lead that proved to be enough to advance to a meeting with the San Francisco 49ers in the NFL playoffs. Davante Adams scored two touchdowns on the back of 160 receiving yards, while Aaron Jones rushed for 62. Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers threw the two TD passes to Jones as he went 16 of 27 for 243 yards....

Even discounting the 49ers for a second, most of the headlines in the NFC have rightly been hogged by the Seattle Seahawks and Russell Wilson’s MVP-in-waiting-like performances. Like the Seahawks and the New Orleans Saints, the Packers are 5-1—the joint-best third in the entire league behind the Patriots and 49ers—and are odds-on to make the postseason for the first time in three years. According to projections from FiveThirtyEight, the Packers have a 74 percent chance to make the playoffs and a 51 percent chance to win the NFC North for the first time since 2016....

Both teams lost their season-openers in contrasting fashion. The Packers were the favorites heading into their duel against the New Orleans Saints but suffered a humiliating 38-3 loss, the biggest loss of Aaron Rodgers’ NFL career. The Lions roared back from 28 points down to come within a touchdown and a two-point conversion to force overtime against the San Francisco 49ers. Irrespective of the manner of their defeat, both teams are 0-1 heading into Monday night’s clash and will be eager to score their first win of the season and kickstart their campaign....

Allen looked stellar once again early on, leading an offensive surge in the second quarter to establish a comfortable halftime lead. Despite a sloppy second half in which Allen threw two bad interceptions, that cushion proved to be more than enough to get Buffalo to the finish line, 27-17. LIVE: Trade Tracker | Grading every deal at 2022 NFL deadline The Packers continued to work through the offensive issues that have plagued them throughout the season....

Padova Cricket Club suffered a massive loss in their tournament opener against Royal Roma Cricket Club, after being restricted to just 72 runs while chasing a target of 145. However, they bounced back really well in their next ECS game. Despite scoring 90 runs on a good batting track, they defended that total against Kingsgrove Milan Cricket Club. Royal Roma Cricket Club, on the other hand, started off their ECS Rome campaign with a flourish by beating their upcoming opponents Padova Cricket Club by a massive margin of 72 runs....

The Anti-Diva’s WWE contract is set to expire on July 8, and she has decided not to re-sign or extend the deal, effectively parting ways with the company. Almost immediately after she posted a new business email in her Twitter bio, a possible scammer attempted to take advantage of the situation. Ringside News recently reported that someone reached out to them posing as a concerned fan and asked to advertise an unofficial email address to book the British star....

The question which immediately cropped up was if we were being unnecessarily harsh on the current Test team, given that we went through an entire decade without a single overseas Test victory. This question was immediately transcended by another: did the golden decade of Indian Test cricket during the 2000s, ushered in under the captaincy of Sourav Ganguly and followed up impressively by Rahul Dravid and Anil Kumble, raise expectations to a level where even a reasonable record was considered abysmal?...

Arsenal next welcome struggling Manchester United to the Emirates Stadium. Ahead of a season-defining tough run of fixtures, a negative result against Manchester United might release a deluge of self-doubt in the Arsenal dressing room. Manchester United is expected to retain Michael Carrick in central midfield though the same cannot be said about his partner against Fulham-Darren Fletcher. It is doubtful whether Fletcher can withstand two games in four days....

In 2008 Summer Olympics, nine shooters from India took part in various shooting events. For the 2012 London Olympics India has secured nine quota places so far and with 20 more places up for grabs, India can send a large shooting contingent to the Olympics than the last time. However, in each event, one country can win up to two quota’s. The quota belongs to the country and not to the shooter who has won it, so the country can choose a shooter to represent them at a event....

Virat Kohli wears his heart on his sleeve and on the other hand, MS Dhoni is inscrutable. On the field, Kohli is as expressive as a dancer whereas Dhoni’s on-field expressions are sometimes as mysterious as Mona Lisa’s smile. Dhoni is a tactical genius and a keen observer, and has perhaps the best cricket brain in the world, making him Kohli’s perfect wingman. To see Kohli and Dhoni together lead this Indian side to some great victories is as mesmerizing as watching a jugalbandi....

It was one of many ways in which Rabin embodied his country’s history. Born in Jerusalem on March 1, 1922, the child of immigrants from Eastern Europe, he was from boyhood a steadfast Zionist. He was not even out of his teens when he became a commando in Haganah, the Jewish underground army fighting the Axis powers in what was then British-ruled Palestine. After World War II and the formation of the Jewish state, his reputation as a soldier and strategist earned him a place in the Israeli military establishment, where he eventually rose to become chief of staff....

An, who had shared or held the solo lead since Thursday, is searching for his first PGA Tour win and he was able to keep his bogey-free streak alive through 54 holes at the Sedgefield Country Club.

That seemed like a fair question after O’Neill’s side had ended their 34-year wait for a major tournament victory with a 2-0 win over Ukraine that showcased their remarkable spirit. “You can ask for different things as a manager,” said O’Neill, “but when you get a performance like that, pure commitment and heart, there’s nothing more you can ask.” While his side may not be able to match their Euro 2016 opponents for class, they demonstrated once more that they are masters of concealing weaknesses and maximising their strengths....

No matter what goes on between the lines or on the ice, fans, players, executives and owners care about one thing — getting the win.

Montreal and New York are riding impressive 9-1-0 streaks over their last 10 games going into Jan....
