2025 NFL Season Reference Materials

Each year we pull together various download links for items that can be very helpful, such as the Official NFL rulebook, the league’s historical records, and information on the Packers specifically. With Sunday kicking off the new season, we hope these will help someone out there. One of the sources below is only available by purchase (which I always do, having all the Green Bay Packers Yearbooks back to 1960).

1967 New Orleans Saints Media Guide

From the 1967 New Orleans Saints Media Guide: In 1966, Jim Taylor did not sign a one-year contract and played out his option with the Green Bay Packers. In July 1967, Taylor signed four one-year contracts to play with the expansion Saints. His former partner in the Green Bay backfield, Paul Hornung, was placed on the list of the 1967 expansion draft, along with C-LB Bill Curry and FB-LB Phil Vandersea. A pinched nerve in Hornung’s neck prevented him from ever suiting up for New Orleans, and he retired in training camp. Taylor himself would also retire before the 1968 season began following training camp. Hornung’s page in the Saints Media Guide is basically a summary of his entire playing career in Green Bay. Also shown is the Packers preview page for the upcoming 1967 season. They, of course, were NFL champions that year.

Monte Kiffin dies at 84

Kiffin was the Packers’ linebackers coach for the 1983 season.

Associated Press

TAMPA, Fla. — Monte Kiffin, the longtime NFL and college assistant coach whose Tampa Bay defenses routinely ranked among the league's best, died Thursday. He was 84.

One of the architects of the ultra successful "Tampa 2" defensive scheme, Kiffin spent 13 seasons as defensive coordinator of the Buccaneers under former coaches Tony Dungy and Jon Gruden from 1996 to 2008 and helped the franchise win the first of its two Super Bowl titles.

The Old Miss football program announced on the social media platform X that Kiffin, once the head coach at North Carolina State, died surrounded by family and friends in Oxford, Mississippi, where Kiffin's son, Lane, is coach of the Rebels.

Kiffin played tackle at the University of Nebraska and was a defensive assistant under Bob Devaney for the Cornhuskers' 1970 and 1971 undefeated national championship teams.

In a career that spanned more than five decades, Kiffin also worked at Arkansas and as an NFL assistant for the Green Bay Packers (1983), Buffalo Bills, Minnesota Vikings, New York Jets, New Orleans Saints and Dallas Cowboys.

After leaving the Bucs, he mostly worked for son, Lane, in college stops at Tennessee, Southern California, Florida Atlantic and Ole Miss.

UPDATE: Thursday Night Flex Issue Vote Coming This Week

Thursday Night Football flex scheduled for another NFL owners vote this week

NFL owners this week (May 22-24) are scheduled for the second time in less than two months to vote on allowing games to be flexed between Sunday afternoons and Thursday nights, according to a person who has seen the agenda for the Spring League Meetings.

At the March annual owners meeting, a proposal to do so pushed by the league failed to win the necessary three-quarters vote of owners required to pass. It received 22 yes votes, two shy of the necessary 24 (eight owners voted no, and two abstained). The league’s push came after the first year of Thursday Night Football on Amazon Prime, which saw a fall in ratings on the streamer by roughly on average 4 million viewers for each of the 15 contests compared to 2021.

That was partly due to the move to digital from linear, but also many of the games were poor matchups that drew criticism, and even mocking lines from at times Al Michaels, who provided commentary for the contests. Thus the push to provide flexing for TNF.

An NFL spokesman declined to comment on whether there is a vote scheduled, citing the need to let the owners discuss the matter next week before issuing a statement.

— The Athletic

When/if the owners approve, and you have purchased or are purchasing tickets to Packers games scheduled after October 9th (when flex scheduling goes into effect), know up front that you may very well have to change your airline and hotel accommodations 15 days before the game when it is moved from Sunday to Thursday night.

More Brockington — From the Packerville Archives

Wrapping up our tribute to Packers Hall of Fame RB John Brockington (who died on April 6th) we are sharing some vintage publications from the early 1970’s. Above is the bio listing of him in the 1971 Packers Official Media Guide.

The cover of the 1972 Packers Official Media Guide featured Brockington in action against the Denver Broncos.

In 1974, he made the media guide cover again.

After their “return to glory” in the 1972 season (where they won the NFC Central division, but lost to the Washington Redskins in the Divisional game, 16-3), Brockington was featured on the cover of this book.

Brockington was the cover subject for the 1972 Green Bay Packers Yearbook.

A feature article inside the 1972 Green Bay Packers Yearbook.

An alternative “yearbook”-style publication (which was actually published for each of the NFC Central teams), 1972 Sports Focus Football Issue — Green Bay Packers put the team’s featured star on the cover, as well as featuring him inside.

And again in 1974, the Sports Focus publication put him on the cover, as well as featuring him in an article inside.
