GREEN BAY White James White Jerseys , Wis. (AP)Just three weeks into the season and the Cincinnati Bengals are already at a crossroads. About the last thing that the struggling team needed was a trip to Lambeau Field on Sunday to face the Green Bay Packers. Injuries that could leave the Packers without several key players may help Cincinnati’s chances of digging out from a 0-2 start. But Green Bay (1-1) is still smarting from a loss at Atlanta , eager to get back on track as an NFC contender. ”Our focus is on the uncommon opponent in the Bengals, but we have a lot of work to do ourselves,” Packers coach Mike McCarthy said. Two-time NFL MVP quarterback Aaron Rodgers represents the great equalizer, capable of winning any game regardless of the circumstances. Still, the Packers’ injury report this week resembled an All-Pro roster. Defensive lineman Mike Daniels, receivers Jordy Nelson and Randall Cobb, along with offensive tackles David Bakhtiari and Bryan Bulaga are all nicked. Edge rusher Nick Perry has a hand injury. At least Green Bay hasn’t shaken up its coaching staff, though. Bill Lazor will make his debut as the Bengals’ offensive coordinator after being promoted from quarterbacks coach to replace the fired Ken Zampese. He was let go after a 13-9 loss to Texans on Thursday night in Week 2, capping a historically bad stretch of offense for the franchise. The Bengals became the first team since the 1939 Eagles to open the season with two home games and fail to score a touchdown. They haven’t reached the end zone in 25 possessions, settling for three field goals for the season. Receiver A.J. Green, who has only 10 catches, said after the loss to Houston that the Bengals need to get their playmakers involved more. ”You’ve got to rely on those guys that can make big plays for you to turn this thing around,” quarterback Andy Dalton said. Other notes and things to watch for in the first meeting between the teams since 2013: MEDICAL REPORT: Nelson (quad) and Bulaga (ankle) were among the few of the 13 Green Bay players listed on the injury report who were full participants in practice at midweek James White Jerseys 2019 , seemingly giving them the best chances to play on Sunday. The Packers could be able to withstand being without Nelson and Cobb for a short period because of depth at receiver. But getting Bulaga back is important for a line that is thin in experience behind the starting five. ”Well, I mean you’ve got to play around that type of stuff because that’s what comes with the game,” Packers receiver Davante Adams said. ”Football is 100 percent chance that you’re going to get hurt at some point, whether or not it’s season-ending, but you’ve got to adapt and you’ve got to fill in.: D TESTED: The Packers represent the first real test for a Bengals defense that has played well against two limited offenses. Dalton had five turnovers against the Ravens, including one on the 2-yard line, but the defense gave up only 20 points. Joe Flacco didn’t complete a pass in the second half of the game, his first since missing all of training camp and the preseason with a bad back. Houston rookie Deshaun Watson threw for only 125 yards and was sacked three times in his first NFL start. IRON MIKE: Daniels’ hip injury could be a problem for the Packers. He has turned into a disruptive force up front in his sixth year, helping outside linebackers Perry and Clay Matthews get off to a good start off the edge. Powered by a nonstop motor, Daniels also helps clog the middle against the run. DALTON’S COMFORT ZONE: Dalton has been under heavy pressure in the first two games, sacked eight times and hit often. His passer rating of 47.2 is last in the NFL. Coach Marvin Lewis has steadfastly supported Dalton, resisting calls to use backup AJ McCarron. One of Lazor’s priorities on Sunday is to get Dalton into a comfort zone early by completing some short passes on the opening drive. ”Anytime you get into a rhythm, you feel you can play better and you see things easier. So if that’s his goal, that’s my goal White Dont’a Hightower Jersey , too. I love to be in a rhythm,” Dalton said. CLAY-MAKER: Matthews is on the verge of setting a milestone, a half-sack behind Kabeer Gbaja-Biamila (74+) for most in franchise history since 1982. After an injury-filled 2016 season, the nine-year veteran is off to a good start this season with 1+ sacks. ”Clay has been a class act his whole career,” McCarthy said. ”I hate talking like this because he’s got a lot left and this is just a milestone that he’s getting ready to jump over.” — AP Sports Writer Joe Kay in Cincinnati contributed to this story. — GoFundMe: Horns Up For JaviMark Gendernalik had an idea, but he needs some help:Get his friend Javier Romo to Super Bowl LIII.Sure, everyone <em>wants</em> to go the Super Bowl; it’s a bucket-list item for many. But Romo truly <em>deserves</em> to go.Romo, a 29-year teaching veteran, was a major part of the negotiation team for the United Teachers of Los Angeles Board of Directors, which helped end the first strike in 30 years and earn the teachers of LA a ‘historic new contract.’Romo, a sixth-grade math-science teacher at Mulholland Middle School in Lake Balboa, has volunteered for 19 years in various capacities within the union, ‘working countless hours to improve working conditions for teachers and improve learning conditions for students throughout Los Angeles.’“His dedication to his students and our community make him a hero to us,” Gendernalik said.Romo is also a lifelong Los Angeles Rams fans Dont’a Hightower Jersey 2019 , dating back to the ‘Roman Gabriel days’ from 1962-72. Romo remembers his first game with his father like it was yesterday … as an eight-year old, he witnessed the Rams tie the Atlanta Falcons 10-10 on Nov. 8, 1970.Romo is a veteran member of ‘World Tour Rams’, a group of loyal fans which prides itself in ‘taking over local & national sports venues one NFL Sunday at a Time!’ and calls Big Wangs in North Hollywood their clubhouse.<noscript></noscript>And here’s where the help part comes in.Gendernalik, an eighth-grade engineering teacher at Mulholland Middle, had the idea of creating a GoFundMe page to raise money for Romo and his wife, Angie, to attend the big game next Sunday in Atlanta as a way of honoring Romo’s ‘efforts in representing us at the table and on the line during the strike.’When originally told of the plans to raise the money, Romo balked, stating working people had better uses for their money than sending him to the Super Bowl.Thankfully, Romo relented and allowed the page to be created.There is, however, one very large catch: Romo does not want any teachers to donate, “I’ll be monitoring those donations White Donald Trump Jerseys ,” he said.And now comes the very best part of this story: Super Bowl Sunday (Feb. 3) is Romo’s 57th birthday.Can we please help get this man to Atlanta?!?!“I was truly touched by it (the GoFundMe page). I’ve known Mark a long time. Hearing the kind words … I am very humbled by that,” Romo said on Saturday.Romo, a father of two daughters, Megan and Vanessa, went to law school for one year before starting a family and becoming a teacher. His wife, Angie, has been a kindergarten teacher for 29 years as well. Romo always enjoyed negotiating, and that notion assisted him greatly during the long process of getting the educators a new contract. <noscript></noscript>Vi7SJAKenXof+Cwv1bj5g9e9OYq5uc74Ms6uORCrlSVRBXbydsJq84s5WIZ2U1sBkTqM5acXeSnhqA2YbZO9tA== Romo and Co. were in for the long haul once the negotiation intensity picked up and Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti got involved in the process. Finally, after a marathon, 21-hour session at City Hall on Monday, Jan. 21, everything got settled and teachers and students went back to school.Romo and others did share a very special moment with Mayor Garcetti. Last weekend, during the Super Blood Wolf Moon, Garcetti invited all parties involved to take a negotiating break and then escorted the group to the roof of City Hall to watch the eclipse.“It’s a start Donald Trump Jerseys 2019 ,’ Romo said of the new contract, ‘I think the package is very good.”Romo was excused (for five hours) from negotiating on Sunday, Jan. 20 … the date of the Rams’ NFC Championship Game victory over the New Orleans Saints.“I wasn’t missing that one,” he said with a laugh.Romo (born in Santa Monica, educated at St. Monica High School and Cal State Northridge) has remained a loyal Rams fan through the club’s various moves from Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum (team’s home from 1946-79) to Anaheim Stadium (1980-94) to St. Louis (1995-2015) and finally back to LA in 2016.The club’s Super Bowl XXXIV victory in 1999 was ‘bittersweet’ but Romo was still happy since many of the players on that team were on the final squad in Anaheim in 1994.When the Rams returned to Los Angeles three years ago, that first season (4-12) was difficult for even the most loyal supporter. Now, with whiz kid Sean McVay at the helm, Romo sees ‘shades of Kurt Warner and 1999 Rams’ with this squad, led by his favorite player, running back Todd Gurley.“I love seeing him run and catch the ball out of the backfield,” Romo added.Hopefully, with some help, Romo can see Gurley in action at Mercedes Benz Stadium on the biggest stage in football and celebrate his birthday in style.
