Tickets will be available starting on Saturday, June 8th.Early on after the preseason matchups came out, rumors began swirling that this game would be played somewhere in Canada. Indeed, Winnipeg was one of two early candidate cities, along with Regina, Saskatchewan.The two teams will play again about two months later, suiting up for a regular season game at Lambeau Field.

As of Thursday afternoon JK Scott Jersey , another experienced individual has reportedly interviewed for the open special teams coordinator position.That person is Tom Quinn, according to Tom Silverstein. Quinn spent over a decade leading the New York Giants’ special teams, working for head coaches Tom Coughlin and Ben McAdoo from 2007 to 2017. He also served in that capacity for part of this season.Under Quinn, the Giants’ special teams units were all over the map. According to Rick Gosselin’s annual rankings the Giants finished as high as second (in 2015) and as low as 32nd (2017). Quinn oversaw two top-five units and three top-ten squads, while seeing his groups finish in the bottom five of the NFL three times as well. Here are the Giants’ places in those rankings over Quinn’s tenure:2007: 17th2008: 4th2009: 20th2010: 30th2011: 22nd2012: 7th2013: 28th2014: 25th2015: 2nd2016: 18th2017: 32ndWould Quinn be an upgrade over Zook? That’s at least possible, as Zook’s Packers were routinely in the bottom of the league and finished dead last in 2018.The team still has made no announcements about the open job, though reports indicate that former Miami coordinator Darren Rizzi is no longer in the running.
