| (MySportsbook) - This past Sunday's contest against the high-powered San Diego Chargers was supposed to be the game that brought the Green Bay Packers back to reality. Well, someone forgot to remind Brett Favre and company that was the script, as the Pack made a statement to the league and their critics with a thrilling 31-24 victory over the Chargers to improve to 3-0 on the season. Favre threw three touchdown passes, the final one giving the Packers the lead for good with 2:03 left. The ageless wonder ended |

| p>What's really eating at the reigning league Most Valuable Player is how people keep comparing this year's team with last year's group that went an NFL-best 14-2 before flaming out in the playoffs. After Sunday's 31-24 loss to Brett Favre and the Green Bay Packers at Lambeau Field, the Chargers have already lost as many games under Norv Turner as they did under the deposed Marty Schottenheimer in 2006. ``To be honest with you, I'm sick and tired of talking about last year because this is not last year,'' To |

Boston College AD Gene DeFilippo said he wanted someone familiar with the program, so he tapped Jagodzinski, a former BC offensive coordinator who was running the Green Bay Packers' offense. The hire produced no buzz and was generally perceived as a sound move by Eagles fans, who were mostly looking for a guy who wouldn't screw up a good program. What Jagodzinski has produced is a team that's already 3-0 in the Atlantic Co |

Tomlinson acknowledged he's lost and mystified by San Diego's 1-2 start after losing to the Green Bay Packers 31-24 on Sunday. ``I think confidence is the last thing to go. (I'm) just a little frustrated, kind of baffled at just the team right now,'' Tomlinson said. After being the class of the AFC, the Chargers have lost as many regular season games as |

GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) - Brett Favre threw his 420th career touchdown pass in the 4th quarter of the Green Bay Packers' game against the San Diego Chargers at Lambeau Field on Sunday, tying Dan Marino's all-time NFL record. Favre, who is playing his 17th NFL season and turns 38 next month, was credited with a 57-yard completion to Greg Jennings, who ran a slant pattern from the left side. The touchdown, with 2:03 remaining, gave the Packers a 24-21 lead. Following the touchdown, Favre sprinted down field wi |

SAN DIEGO (AP) -Chargers right tackle Shane Olivea practiced on Friday for the first time since straining his back in a loss to the Patriots, but it appears he'll miss Sunday's game at the Green Bay Packers. Olivea moved stiffly and said he'd have to talk his way into the lineup by assuring coach Norv Turner and offensive line coach Jack Henry he is OK. Olivea was listed as questionable on the injury report. ``If it was up to me, I would play,'' Olivea said. ``But I have to convince Jack and Norv.'' If |

GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) -It comes as no surprise that Brett Favre's most memorable touchdown pass was based on a hunch, a split-second improvisation on the biggest stage imaginable. On the Green Bay Packers' second snap of the 1997 Super Bowl, Favre stepped to the line and saw that New England's defense didn't have either safety deep in coverage. Favre quickly checked to ``razor,'' calling an audible that hadn't really worked all season and wasn't designed to be used with the group of players they had on the |

GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) -The unbeaten Green Bay Packers are hoping their receiving corps will be at full strength against San Diego. Coach Mike McCarthy expects receivers Greg Jennings and James Jones, two of 17 players listed on the Packers' injury report this week, to play Sunday against San Diego. Jennings and Jones have sore hamstrings and were limited in practice Friday. The team listed both players as probable on the injury report. ``When that ball is kicked off Sunday, I'm not going to be thinking a |

| (MySportsbook) - One of the more surprising undefeated teams in the NFL this season, the Green Bay Packers will try to open a campaign with three straight wins for the first time in seven years when they play host to the San Diego Chargers at historic Lambeau Field this Sunday. The Packers knocked off Philadelphia at home and the New York Giants on the road to begin the season. A victory this weekend over the Chargers would improve the club to 3-0 for the first time since 2001, when Green Bay reached the divi |
