I think we can. I think we can... That's the attitude that Packers players and fans alike should take going into this Sunday's match up against the 6-7 Pittsburgh Steelers at Heinz Field in Pittsburgh.

Wisconsin Tailgate Brat Tub Recipe

In this recipe we take a classic Wisconsin technique and riff on it slightly. The brats are simmered first in beer, then grilled, then the beer is made into a sauce, and the brats simmer in the sauce. Touchdown!

Bears running game slow going so far

The Chicago Bears like to call themselves a team that "gets off the bus running." So far, there's been no sign of that heading into Sunday's game at Seattle.

Running back Matt Forte – the focal point of the Bears' offense last season – is averaging just 2.2 yards per carry, with no runs longer than 10 yards.

"It's somewhat frustrating, but you can't get frustrated because then you start looking for holes to run through and then you miss a cut here and then you miss out on some yards," Forte said Wednesday. "So you can't get frustrated."

Players and coaches blame a lot of the early running game woes on the blitzing Green Bay and Pittsburgh did in the first two games.

"The defense made some plays on us and it's been difficult to get to the second and third levels (of the secondary)," Forte said. "We've been struggling a little bit."
