The Green Bay Packers defeated the Baltimore Ravens 19-17 on Sunday, but the victory came at a price. Two starting wide receivers, Randall Cobb and James Jones, went down due to different knee injuries at different points in the game. We'll keep you posted as best we can on the two of them, and we should know more when Mike McCarthy talks to us this afternoon. Until then, here is what the media thought of the Packers' win.

Hawk had three sacks yesterday. The only time he had more than three sacks in an entire season was in 2006, when he had 3.5. You can count on him getting a game ball this week.

We're all breathing a little easier today with the reports that Randall Cobb's injury isn't as serious as it looked. Still, it was an ugly hit and I agree that it's partially a result of the league's crackdown on hits to defenseless receivers.
