The Week 10 game at Lambeau Field pits the teams at the center of the tush push debate this offseason.

Steelers' Aaron Rodgers gets into heated exchange with rookie Kaleb Johnson
Tensions were fiery on the final day of Steelers training camp — and the outspoken 20-year veteran QB Aaron Rodgers finally showed off some of the tough love he's been known to possess throughout his career. On Tuesday, sideline reporters spotted Rodgers having some choice words for rookie RB Kaleb Johnson — who ran the wrong route in practice, leaving the Steelers quarterback upset. "It wasn't some hushed sideline chat," one practice attendee remarked, via "You could see Rodgers' body language from across the field." Rodgers is no stranger to voicing his frustrations and holding his teammates accountable — such as the "red line incident" with WR Mike Williams on the Jets, perhaps his most infamous example. Previously, former NFL defensive end Chris Long hinted that these outbursts and frustrations from Rodgers, directed at his teammates, could result in drama between the four-time MVP and his star wide receiver DK Metcalf. While alarming at first glance, Rodgers' veteran leadership will do far more good than harm for these young players — which is especially true for Johnson, who's come under criticism recently.

Jessa Duggar waited a week before naming her newborn son. Here's what she chose
The Duggar family tree has grown by one — and now we know the name of the newborn baby. Jessa Duggar, the fifth child and third daughter of Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar of '19 Kids and Counting,' welcomed her sixth child with husband Ben Seewald on July 26, per her Instagram. The reality star turned influencer has since been telling her birth story in a series of YouTube videos. In the third installment of the series, published Aug. 8, Jessa Duggar joked that they should name the newborn baby boy 'Pork Chop' because he weighed 10 pounds, 1 ounce at birth. 'But since that's not on the name list, what else?' she said in the video. As Duggar and Seewald were sitting in the hospital, they were trying to decide between Owen, Edward and Calvin for the first name and Patrick and Athanasius for the middle name. On Aug. 11, Jessa Duggar released the fourth installment of the series and revealed that two of the first names made the cut — but neither of the middle names did. The name they chose? Edward Owen Seewald. 'We liked the sound of Edward from pretty early on in this pregnancy,' Seewald said toward the end of the video. The name was also a big hit with the couple's other kids. 'We always like historical names, too, so there's some historical significance with Edward,' he added while name-dropping preacher and philosopher Jonathan Edwards and King Edward VI of England. According to Behind the Name, Edward is an Old English name that means 'rich guard' via the elements 'ead,' meaning 'wealth,' and 'weard,' meaning 'guard.' Other historical baby names for boys include Henry, William, Charles, George, Richard, Thomas, James, Robert and Francis. As for Owen, Seewald said he was drawn to the name because of John Owen, one of his 'favorite theologians.' Owen either means 'well born' in Welsh or 'yew tree' in Irish, per Behind the Name. Both names were included in the Social Security Administration's top 1,000 most popular boy names of 2024 with Owen ranking 26th and Edward ranking 228th. The couple are also parents to sons Spurgeon, 9; Henry, 8; and George, 19 months, and daughters Ivy, 6, and Fern, 4, according to People. While they have since settled on a name for baby No. 6, Duggar and Seewald said that it took them nearly a week to come to an agreement. At the beginning of their Aug. 11 video, the couple are in the hospital when Duggar asks her husband if they've settled on a name. 'We've been trying,' he responded. 'But Jess is on the pills and her mind is foggy. She's a little nervous to pick a name when she's not thinking as clearly as she could.' By the time they were ready to pack up and leave the hospital, their baby was still without a name. 'They told us we have nine days from birth to let them know,' Duggar said. 'Hopefully it doesn't take that long,' Seewald added. In the car ride back home, Duggar said leaving the hospital without a name gives them an opportunity to try out each of the names on their list for a day or so to see how it fits. 'Sometimes you've just got to see their face and maybe even test some names out for a few days,' Seewald said. 'But we finally made up our mind.' According to Jessa Duggar, kids Spurgeon, Henry, George, Ivy and Fern were on board with the name. 'The kids are very excited. They were rooting for Edward,' Duggar said.

James Cook: We paid now, so let's go play football
The contract dispute between the Bills and James Cook came to an official end on Wednesday when the running back put pen to paper on his four-year extension. Cook had been staging a hold-in but got back to practice on Tuesday as a full participant. 'We paid now, so let's go play football,' Cook said Wednesday, via Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN. Cook said he was 'just trying to protect' himself with his hold-in. Given the prevalence of injuries around the league during camp, his approach more than made sense. But he added that he 'kind of knew' that a deal was close when he got back on the field on Tuesday. 'Just trying to stay healthy and just get everything done before I can go out there and play with a clear mindset and just be locked in,' Cook said. G.M. Brandon Beane noted that there was an understanding between the team and player that he needed to practice if the two sides were going to negotiate. That's what happened and now Cook is ready to continue contributing for a team with Super Bowl aspirations in 2025.
