When your team misses (or makes) the postseason, this is why

From zero (snaps) to 61 in two weeks: Packers rookie Josh Jones finds role
After not getting on the field during the season opener, Josh Jones was a force for the Packers defense in Week 3, especially during crunch time.

The Dodgers reach 100 wins for the first time since 1974. The Cubs are one win away from the NL Central title. The Rockies fail to increase their lead on the Brewers and Rockies. The magic number update: Cubs 1; Twins 2 (to clinch wild card); Red Sox 3 (to clinch AL East); Rockies 5 (to clinch wild card); Dodgers 2 (to clinch No. 1 seed in NL); Indians 5 (to clinch No. 1 seed in AL).

Here's how a former Big Ten assistant assessed 12 of the visiting locker rooms in the league. It's definitely a problem. Illinois = pathetic. Purdue = pathetic. Nebraska = OK. Wisconsin = OK. Iowa = OK. Michigan = below average. Michigan State = pathetic. Minnesota = nice. Maryland = pathetic. Northwestern = pathetic. Penn State = OK. Ohio State = below average.
What's at stake in MLB season's final week? NL wild-card race, award battles and playoff strategy
Think everything has been decided? The Rockies are in a three-team chase, the AL MVP race just got closer, and the best (and worst) records aren't set.

Mike McCarthy is the offensive tackle situation is a "work in progress. We're frankly still working through it." Packers haven't had their preferred starting tackle combo yet this season and probably won't again Thursday vs. Chicago.

Brett Goode "gutted it out" through a hamstring injury from early in Sunday's game, coach Mike McCarthy said.
Rob Demovsky ESPN Staff Writer
Brett Goode was slow to get up after the snap on the game-winning field goal. Just noticed that re-watching the kick. Snap was perfect though.
Rob Demovsky ESPN Staff Writer
Another roster move for the Packers: Long-snapper Brett Goode is headed to injured reserve with a hamstring problem. Taybor Pepper, who was here during the offseason, has been re-signed.
Rob Demovsky ESPN Staff Writer
Packers are signing offensive lineman Ulrick John off the Cardinals practice squad, his agent told ESPN. John is flying to Green Bay tonight and could be active for Thursday's game because of all the O-line injuries.
Rob Demovsky ESPN Staff Writer
Now the Packers' top-3 offensive tackles are on the injury report. It's an estimate because they didn't practice today but Bryan Bulaga (ankle) and Kyle Murphy (foot) would not have practice but David Bakhtiari would've been limited.
'Never a good time' for a Thursday game, but this week tough on Packers
Six starters were on the inactive list for Sunday's game, and the schedule doesn't do Green Bay any favors this week.
The importance of 2-1 instead of 1-2
Nine teams that entered Week 3 at 1-1 emerged victorious: the Bills, Eagles, Jaguars, Packers, Patriots, Rams, Redskins, Titans and Vikings. Since the playoff field expanded to 12 in 1990, teams that start 2-1 have reached the playoffs more than twice as often as those that start 1-2.

Who wants Bama? Too soon to tell with Wisconsin
The Badgers probably can't stay on the field with the Crimson Tide, but we said the same thing about Wisconsin before it upset LSU in the 2016 opener.
Allison, rookies shine in win over Bengals
Geronimo Allison and several rookies made big impacts for the Packers. Jason Wilde recaps the Packers' win over the Bengals with Bryan Dee and Dan Needles.
Georgia, TCU climb into top 10
The Bulldogs moved up four spots after handling Mississippi State, while the Horned Frogs jumped seven thanks to a win over Oklahoma State. The top five is unchanged, although Alabama garnered seven more first-place votes this week, while Clemson lost seven.
