FROM THE SAME ARTICLE: There are a lot of media outlets that have notices the Packers offensive struggles.

SAME WEB SITE, DIFFERENT ARTICLE: We are now through the first six weeks of the football season — an you believe the season is almost half over?

There are plenty of other typos or mistakes in this story; I won't list them all here.
