This has been a lost season for the Green Bay Packers, as they hold a 4-6 record even though they defeated the Los Angeles Chargers, 23-20, on Sunday.

New starting quarterback Jordan Love isn’t quite working out, at least so far, even though he completed 27 of 40 passes for 322 yards and two touchdowns against L.A.

But somehow, the Packers are in eighth place in the NFC, and if they somehow string together some wins the rest of the way, and especially if they somehow defeat the Minnesota Vikings on New Year’s Eve, perhaps they could do the unthinkable and challenge for a playoff spot.

They have made some roster moves by releasing Dallin Leavitt and Christian Young while adding Patrick Taylor and James Robinson, per Matt Schneidman.

Leavitt went undrafted in 2018 out of Utah State University, and in two seasons with Green Bay, the safety has had a total of 15 tackles (eight solo) while playing almost all of his snaps on special teams.

Young, an undrafted rookie linebacker out of the University of Arizona, hasn’t played yet this season after the Packers signed him to their practice squad in early October.

Taylor, a running back who played his college ball at the University of Memphis, has had a total of 151 rushing yards, one touchdown, and an average of 3.4 yards per rush attempt in three years with the Packers.

Robinson was signed by Green Bay to be a part of their practice squad just over a month ago, making it the fourth team he has been a part of since last season, even though he hasn’t played at all this season.

Former Player Says Dolphins Star Should Be NFL MVP Favorite

The race for the NFL regular-season MVP award is heating up, and the first two frontrunners for the award — star quarterbacks Patrick Mahomes and Jalen Hurts — have some competition.

Dak Prescott of the Dallas Cowboys has entered the talks lately after a few excellent games in a row, and there has even been talk of two San Francisco 49ers studs — QB Brock Purdy and running back Christian McCaffrey — having a shot.

There is also Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill, who is having a season for the ages, and LeSean McCoy said on “Speak” that Hill should be the favorite to win the award.

On Sunday, Miami routed the Washington Commanders by 30 points, and Hill caught only five passes, but he turned them into 157 yards and two touchdowns.

That performance ran his season totals to 1,481 receiving yards and 12 receiving touchdowns, and he still leads everyone in both categories.

He’s on pace to not only surpass Calvin Johnson for the most receiving yards in a single season but to also become the first player to ever reach 2,000 receiving yards in a single season.

It is rare for a non-quarterback to win the NFL MVP award, and the last time such a player pulled it off was in 2012 when Minnesota Vikings running back Adrian Peterson got it done.

That year, Peterson became one of a handful of players to rush for at least 2,000 yards in a single season, and it seems that’s the type of production a non-signal-caller needs to claim the award.
