Cheese Curds: Green Bay Packers news and links for September 11, 2015

On Thursday, the NFL finally got its 2015 season underway, as the Patriots defeated the Steelers 28-21 on opening night. As expected, the Patriots first game of the year resulted in the first allegation of wrongdoing by that franchise, though it ultimately did not appear to affect the final result - after all, the Steelers' secondary was hot garbage and had no answer for Rob Gronkowski.

As for the Green Bay Packers, a date with the Chicago Bears awaits on Sunday, and we at APC are excited to finally get real Packers football to enjoy. Sunday's game should feature some interesting matchups as the Packers try to pull within one game of the Bears in the all-time series.
