Green Bay Nation: The Pack are back and bound for Brazil

GREEN BAY, Wis. (WFRV) – The Green Bay Packers exceeded expectations in 2023, meaning the team wants even more this season.

In the season premiere of Green Bay Nation, Local 5 Sports’ Kyle Malzhan filled in for Ryan Wood and joined Lauren Helmbrecht and Marques Eversoll. Wood joined the team in Brazil but still had a chance to discuss the team’s new defense and Jordan Love’s contract.

For Challenge or No Challenge, presented by Bayside Machine Corporation, Lauren made some pronounced predictions about Week 1, including rookie starting jobs, and Kyle and Marques had an opportunity to throw the challenge flag like Matt LaFleur.
