Monday Night Football tonight features two of the most iconic franchises in NFL history, pairing the Green Bay Packers and the Las Vegas Raiders. Vince Lombardi and John Madden are not coming down that aisle, but the Packers and Raiders franchises still carry cache around the league.
This game features two teams trying to find their identity. Green Bay turned the page from the Aaron Rodgers era to the Jordan Love era. Love has had his moments so far in 2023 but has been inconsistent, resulting in several ups and downs during his first season as a starting NFL quarterback.
On the other sideline, QB Jimmy Garoppolo leads Las Vegas’ offense that has struggled out of the gates. The Raiders have some playmakers in the backfield, namely Josh Jacobs, and some weapons on the outside to attack the Packers’ secondary.
Which team will find their footing, taking a step forward on Monday night?
From the current NFL standings to team depth charts to coverage of every game in the 18-week NFL schedule, we have all the news from around the league to keep you up to speed!

The storylines entering tonight’s contest circle around who will be available for this game.
Coming into the game, former Packers receiver and current Raiders superstar Davante Adams carries a questionable tag, but the latest reports indicate Adams will suit up for this contest. The pairing of Adams and Jakobi Meyers will cause problems for Green Bay’s secondary.
Speaking of the Packers’ secondary, CB Jaire Alexander enters this contest carrying a similar questionable designation after missing the last two games with a nagging back injury. Back injuries can be unpredictable, but Alexander practiced on a limited basis all week, and the latest reports indicate that he’ll be out there for Green Bay.
