The Bills acquired QB Brian Brohm off the Packers’ practice squad, signing him to a two-year contract. The Packers matched the Bills’ offer to the 2008 second-round draft pick, but Brohm chose to go to Buffalo.

Leading by six points, facing fourth-and-2 at their own 28-yard line, with 2 minutes and eight seconds left in the game, the Patriots elected to gamble.

The Packers will be without two starters in Sunday’s game against the Cowboys after ruling out LB Aaron Kampman and OT Mark Tauscher because of injuries.

Teams have released their Week 10 practice participation reports through Wednesday. Here’s a look at some notable developments.

Kansas City Star columnist Joe Posnanski writes that the Chiefs made the right move by releasing Larry Johnson, largely because LJ was definitely no Priest Holmes.

The Packers will turn to veteran OL Mark Tauscher and Scott Wells on Sunday to help protect QB Aaron Rodgers, who has been sacked an NFL-high 31 times in seven games this season.

Midway through the season, it’s time to see what we’ve learned. I took a look at Ted Thompson, Eric Mangini, Vince Young, Roy Williams (of the Cowboys), Tom Coughlin and, last but not least, Drew Brees, on Saturday’s NFL Total Access on NFL Network.

Teams have released their Week 9 injury reports through Thursday. Here’s a look at some of the notable names.

Vikings quarterback Brett Favre ran into a half-full Lambeau Field at 2:37 local time for warm-ups and was met predominantly with boos by the Packers faithful, who once cheered him for the better part of his 16 seasons here.

It didn’t come as much of a surprise, but there were more people sporting No. 4 Vikings jerseys around Lambeau Field on Saturday than there were sporting No. 4 Packers jerseys. But it was a gentleman sporting two “4s” on his Vikings jersey that got my attention.

It took Halloween — which happens to be Brett Favre’s Return Eve — to bring the characters out in Green Bay.
