NFL – National Football League – Week 2

Last Night

Green Bay Packers 35, Detroit Lions 17

Packers 35, Lions 17 – Packers dominate 2nd half, bounce back to beat Lions 35-17

Aaron Jones caught three of Aaron Rodgers’ four touchdown passes and rushed for a fourth score, and the Green Bay Packers had a welcome return to normal after an embarrassing opening-week loss. The Packers beat the Detroit Lions 35-17. Green Bay won its ninth straight home opener. The Packers got thumped 38-3 by New Orleans in Week 1. Against Detroit, the Packers looked more like the team that went 13-3 in each of coach Matt LaFleur’s first two seasons. Rodgers went 22 of 27 for 255 yards and surpassed John Elway for 10th all-time in passing yards. The Lions blew a 17-14 halftime lead and fell to 0-2.

NFL – New coach, new QB, same early results for struggling Lions

The Detroit Lions’ new coach and quarterback are off to a start that resembles the team’s previous regimes. Detroit brought in Dan Campbell to replace the fired Matt Patricia. When longtime quarterback Matthew Stafford wanted out, the Lions sent him to the Los Angeles Rams in a deal that brought Jared Goff as his replacement. The faces have changed. But the results have been the same thus far for a franchise trying to avoid a fourth straight season with double-digit losses.

NFL – Colts unsure of Wentz's status after spraining both ankles

The Indianapolis Colts won't know until later this week whether quarterback Carson Went will play at Tennessee after spraining both ankles in Sunday's loss to the Rams. Colts coach Frank Reich says he does not yet have a timeline for a return. Wentz hurt his right ankle midway through the fourth quarter and did not return. Wentz hurt his left ankle earlier in the game.

Tigers 4, White Sox 3 – White Sox lose 4-3 to Tigers but close in on division crown

Carlos Rodón was pulled with soreness after a rocky third inning and the Chicago White Sox, closing in on the AL Central title, squandered a three-run lead in a 4-3 loss to the Detroit Tigers. Despite the defeat, Chicago’s magic number to clinch the division dropped to two when second-place Cleveland was swept by Kansas City in a doubleheader. The White Sox can wrap up their first AL Central crown in 13 years Tuesday — and secure a second consecutive playoff berth for the first time in franchise history — with a win over Detroit and another Indians loss to the Royals. Harold Castro’s eighth-inning single broke a 3-all tie for the Tigers.

NCAAFB – Stingy Wisconsin defense readies for Coan, Fighting Irish

Wisconsin ranks second in the nation in total defense but believes it can still improve. The next step is getting the ball back by producing turnovers. Wisconsin has only one takeaway through its first two games. The 18th-ranked Badgers will try to change that Saturday. They will face former teammate Jack Coan in a highly anticipated showdown with No. 12 Notre Dame at Soldier Field.
