What a week it was in the NFC North. Micah Parsons’ grand return to Dallas had no fairy tale ending. Only questions for that Packers defense… and special teams. (Yikes.) The good news? Romeo Doubs, profiled here, took charge.

It wasn’t pretty in Las Vegas. Ben Johnson lost his cool, too. But Caleb Williams’ late drive was enough. Are the skies clearing up for injury-riddled Chicago?

J.J. McCarthy returns to practice soon. However, Minnesota’s issues run deeper than the quarterback position at the moment. Harrison Smith is still going strong, but for how long?

Meanwhile, Detroit rolls along vs. offensively challenged Cleveland.

We get into everything with Hall of Fame scribe Bob McGinn. Time stamps are below.

And thank you for sharing Go Long with a friend.

* Packers-Cowboys: 12:28

* Bears-Raiders: 46:31
