Gamblers open home slate with Rough Riders

The Green Bay Gamblers play their first home game of the regular season on Tuesday when they welcome the Cedar Rapids Rough Riders to the Resch Center.

 

In their last game, the Gamblers scored an overtime goal to beat the Chicago Steel 2-1. After a scoreless first period, Milan Kutsevich registered his first goal of the season in the opening minutes of the second period to give the Gamblers a 1-0 lead. It would stay that way until the closing minutes of the third period when the Steel scored to force the game into overtime. The Gamblers ended the contest when Holden Pajor scored with under two minutes to go to give the team the extra point. Joey Slavick earned the win as the goaltender, stopping 33 of the 34 shots he faced.

 

Puck drop is set for 7:05 p.m.

Packers outlast Bucs

The Green Bay Packers won the game 17-14 over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers Sunday afternoon, but suffered another significant loss on the injury front.

 

The Packers struck first in the second quarter on a two-yard route by Matthew Golden, only to have the Buccaneers tie it up on the next drive. Trey Smack gave the Packers the lead and what ultimately became the final margin of victory when he drilled a 58-yard field goal at the end of the half to make it 10-7 at the break.

 

The two teams traded touchdowns in the second half as well, with Jordan Love connecting with Tucker Kraft early in the third while the Buccaneers scored their own touchdown early in the fourth quarter. The Packers' defense had to make a play in the end to secure the win and even their record at 2-2.

 

The Packers were able to run the ball better on Sunday with 86 rushing yards, led by Kaleb Johnson's 42 yards and Chris Brooks' 30 yards. Love was 22-30 for 197 yards with two touchdowns and an interception. The win was overshadowed by Edgerrin Cooper's injury, who may now be out for the season with a torn Achilles. 

 

The Packers will try to climb above .500 for the first time this season on Sunday when they host the Chicago Bears for a noon kickoff.

Glory exits U.S. Open Cup

The quest for the U.S. Open Cup was short for the Green Bay Glory after dropping their match on Saturday 2-1 to Bavarian United at Aldo Santaga Stadium at UW-Green Bay.

 

Bavarian took a 1-0 lead in the 11th minute before the Glory were able to knot it up at one apiece when they scored just a few minutes later. It would stay that way until the 77th minute, when Bavarian scored on a free kick just inside the box.

 

 

Packers look to shipwreck Buccaneers

The Green Bay Packers look to get back to .500 on Sunday when they play the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on the road at noon.

 

The Packers had a forgettable home opener last Thursday, losing to the Atlanta Falcons 35-14. The Falcons outrushed the Packers 294-17, with Bijan Robinson rushing for 194 yards and two touchdowns on 29 carries. Love had to throw the ball 53 times to hit 312 yards passing, throwing two touchdown passes and one interception. Watson combined for 12 catches and just under 200 yards receiving, with both players finding the end zone. Thursday was the worst home loss since the Packers fell to the Detroit Lions 31-0 in 2018.

 

The Buccaneers' Sunday was not much better, as they lost to the Cleveland Browns 23-19. Baker Mayfield threw for 182 yards with a touchdown and a pick before he left the game with a thumb injury.

Gamblers continue 2026 campaign in Chicago

The Green Bay Gamblers will try to get its first win of the regular season in its third try in Chicago when they face the Chicago Steel Saturday evening.

 

The Gamblers went 3-1-1 in its five preseason matchups, including a 2-1 overtime loss to the Steel at Cornerstone Community Center in De Pere on September 9th. Luciano Bruno gave the Gamblers an early 1-0 lead in the contest, but goals in the second and overtime periods by Cole Bumgarner gave the Steel the win. They are 0-2 to start the regular season, both of which occurred at the newly minted USG Arena where the Steel will play their home games and the Chicago Blackhawks will host its practices near its home sheet at the United Center. The Gamblers lost those games 8-3 to Sioux City and 2-1 to Fargo.
