So what's going to happen?

Kyle Long said of Jay Cutler: "Nobody was harder on me than Jay, and nobody was more supportive of me, at the other end, than Jay. The guy would show up at my house on 6:30 on a Wednesday just to make sure that I was awake for treatment. ... Now that's a good teammate."

Jaylon Johnson praises Jordan Love and says he has great respect for him, but he believes a series of routes the Packers ran would've been shut down if he was on the field. He feels like he could've shut down half the field for the Packers in their 17-9 win over the Bears.
