PACKERS UPDATE

FAVRE OK, RODGERS OUT FOR SEASON: Head Coach MikeMcCarthy relayed good news and bad news with regard to the Packers'quarterbacks on Monday. �Brett Favre appears to be OK after suffering an elbow injury in the sec-

ond quarter Sunday that sidelined him for the rest of the game. Butbackup quarterback Aaron Rodgers is out forthe season with a broken foot.

�McCarthy said during his news conference onMonday that Favre was getting the strengthback in his hand and wasn't concerned aboutthe injury, which occurred when he was sackedlate in the second quarter and his elbow hit theground. Favre couldn't return to the gamebecause the shot to the elbow nerve took awaythe strength in his hand needed to hold andthrow the ball properly.

�Favre will be evaluated further on Wednesday,but at this point it doesn't appear his NFLrecord streak of 231 consecutive starts at quar-terback (251 including playoffs) is in jeopardy.

� "They (the doctors) think he's going to be fine,"McCarthy said. "He's not very worried about it,which to them is a clear indication because he'sbeen through this, and they trust his judgment based on their historywith him."

�But unfortunately for Rodgers, his first extended action in 2006 turnedout to be his last this season.

�Rodgers came into Sunday's game late in the second quarter in relief ofFavre and finished the contest. He completed four of 12 passes for 32yards. He also rushed for 11 yards, was sacked three times.

�Rodgers said he doesn't even know what play he hurt his foot on, otherthan to say it was on the first or second series of the third quarter. Hehad his ankle re-taped on the sidelines after a series but essentiallyplayed the entire fourth quarter on a broken foot.

� "I didn't want to come out of the game," Rodgers said when headdressed reporters on Monday standing on crutches at his locker. "Iknew it was bothering me, but I still felt like I could make some plays outthere, and I wanted the opportunity to do so."

�The news he was out for the season was a tough blow for Rodgers, andhe said that's why he didn't speak to the media after Sunday's game. Hehad just gotten the X-ray results and was processing the bad news.

�Still, the effort he gave on Sunday, even though the results weren't to hisliking, paint a strong picture of what type of quarterback the Packersshould have when Favre retires.

� "I hope that it shows my teammates how much I care about them, andhow I'll put the team in front of my personal health," Rodgers said. "I justhope it shows them what kind of guy they're getting in the future, a guywho will be able to play through pain and continue to try and lead theteam."

�Rodgers was the Packers' first-round draft choice in 2005, and heplayed extensively in just one game last year. At Baltimore on Dec. 19,Rodgers completed eight of 15 passes for 65 yards with one intercep-tion.

�He has patiently waited his turn behind Favre but now will have to waituntil the off-season to continue any work on the field.

�Rodgers said he will have surgery probably this week, and he expectsthe doctors to put a screw of some sort in his foot, much like they didwhen rookie cornerback Will Blackmon broke his foot last spring. Hesaid he hopes to be off the crutches in six weeks and able to movearound on his own again in January, putting him in good shape to befully recovered by the time McCarthy's "quarterback school" rolls aroundin March.

�Rodgers said he will continue to go to all the quarterback meetings and

film study sessions the rest of this season. He just won't be able to takethe field during practice, which will be the hardest part for him.

� "I'm pretty bummed," he said. "I love going through a week of practiceand preparation, working with the scout team. I'm daily trying to workon things to get better. Mentally I don't think it's sunk in yet, that I won'tbe able to do the things I used to do.

�"It's definitely going to make me a better person I think and give me agreater love for the game, because it's been taken away."

EMOTIONS NEED TO REMAIN EVEN-KEELED: The Packers havehad their share of ups and downs, just like any NFL team this season. �To go from discussing Wild Card playoff possibilities to getting shut out

35-0 at home is almost as extreme as those ups and downs can get, butHead Coach Mike McCarthy isn't going to let his players ride that emo-tional roller coaster.

�"We're not getting on it," McCarthy said. �Staying emotionally somewhere near the middle will be needed this

week to focus on preparing for Monday night's game at Seattle. As muchas the team was hoping a win and 5-5 record would get them seriouslyinto the NFC playoff picture, the players can't feel as though all is nowlost after a humbling defeat thatleaves them 4-6.

� "I'm disappointed and we need tolearn from it," McCarthy said. "Noone ever wants to go through this,especially this late in the season, but this is something that we can learnfrom, this is something that we can build off of, and I think anytime youencounter situations like that, a lot of good things will come out of it."

�The Packers certainly have shown their resiliency this season, comingback from a 1-4 start to get within a game of .500 two times.

�McCarthy said the team was deservedly upbeat after last week's big winover Minnesota at the Metrodome, and if that led to a possible emotion-al letdown against New England, he said they have to make sure thatdoesn't happen again. He also said he will be preaching accountability tohis team this week, much like he's holding himself accountable forSunday's disappointment.

� "I hope we weren't fat and happy because we were 4-5 last week,"McCarthy said. "We felt pretty good about ourselves coming out of thatwin, and rightfully so. That was a big game. To win up there in that envi-ronment, that's a tough place to play.

� "But this league is one week at a time. This past week was New Englandand we did not take care of business, and that starts with me. I need todo a better job."

OTHER INJURIES — Linebacker Nick Barnett broke his hand in the fourthquarter on Sunday. McCarthy said the training staff will look into wrappingBarnett's hand so he can play with what's often referred to as a "club." �Defensive tackle Cullen Jenkins aggravated the ankle injury that has

been bothering him off and on the past several weeks. Tight end DavidMartin has quadriceps and rib injuries, linebacker Ben Taylor hurt hishamstring, and cornerback Charles Woodson injured his shoulder.

�The severity of the injuries would be known in the next day or so and theplayers' chances of playing Monday night at Seattle will be outlined onthe injury report, which is released on Wednesday.

�McCarthy said he's also hoping to learn more about tackle MarkTauscher's groin injury this week.

ALMOST CLINCHED — With six games left in the season, the ChicagoBears at 9-1 are just one win away from clinching no worse than a tie forfirst place in the NFC North. The Packers and Vikings are in second placeat 4-6. �One more win by the Bears plus a loss or tie by the Packers and a loss

or tie by the Vikings and the division will be clinched outright.

OUTSIDE ON THE ROAD: While the Packers have played remarkablybetter in domed stadiums compared to their indoors trend during the MikeHolmgren era, the team has struggled outdoors on the road. �The last time the Packers were able to defeat a team with a winning

record outside on the road was Dec. 15, 2002, when Green Bay knockedoff the 9-4 49ers in San Francisco, 20-14.

LONGEST OPPONENT WINNING STREAKS SNAPPED: GreenBay on Jan. 1 at Lambeau Field ended Seattle's 11-game winning streak.Previously, the longest streak Green Bay had ever halted was a 10-gamerun by the Lions, at Detroit on Nov. 25, 1934, a 3-0 final.

The 11 Favre backups who’ve gone on to start for other teams

AGAINST FORMER COACHES: Brett Favre knocked off his formerposition coach Andy Reid in their first head-to-head meeting in 2000, butthe Packers haven’t been able to beat him again, including 2006. In recenthistory, Reid is the black sheep among former Packers coaches in termsof winning percentage against Green Bay. A closer look at those coachesand their records (1997-2006):

JET LAG: If any NFL team has an advantage in traveling, it’s the centrallylocated Green Bay Packers. Many times, for instance, bus rides fromSoldier Field to O’Hare International Airport take longer than flight timefrom Chicago to Green Bay.�But in 2006, the schedule makers weren’t kind to the Packers.�The Packers logged 3,500 air miles on their round-trip from Green Bay

to San Diego to open the preseason.�Following the game, the team’s Northwest Airlines DC-10 charter

returned to Green Bay with the sun already up, shortly after 6 a.m. CDT.�Each 1,750-mile flight was two hours longer than any plane ride the

team took in 2005. �It was the start of a challenging quartet. The Packers in 2006 are

embarking on their four longest flights since their memorable win atOakland on Monday night, Dec. 22, 2003.

Chinks in Favre’s armor

CONNECTIONS BEGIN WITH THOMPSON: The low-profile archi-tect of Seattle's draft board since joining the club in January 2000,Thompson finally got an opportunity to run a team when the Packersbrought him back to Green Bay in 2005 and made him Executive VicePresident, General Manager and Director of Football Operations.�Players taken by Seattle off Thompson's draft boards accounted for 51.7

percent of the Seahawks' starts in 2004, when the 9-7 club captured theNFC West championship.

�Upon returning to Green Bay in 2005, 30 of the 47 players he selectedin Seattle had started at least one Seahawks game, and only three ofthose 47 did not make Seattle's 53-man roster.

�Seven of those Seattle players have earned all-rookie, All-Pro or ProBowl honors, and one — RB Shaun Alexander — earned the league’sMVP in 2005.

FROM THE HEAD COACH:FROM THE HEAD COACH: Mike McCarthy’s press conference tran-script, Monday, Nov. 20, 2006:�(What is the status of both of your quarterbacks?) We'll start with Aaron

(Rodgers). Aaron has a broken foot which will require surgery. He'll beout for the season. Brett's elbow I think is going to be fine. He's been infor treatment for both the elbow and the groin, and we'll reevaluate himWednesday. He doesn't seem very concerned about it.

�(Does he have the strength back?) He's got the strength pretty muchback, but it's not all the way back. He's got 48 hours. We'll know moreWednesday as far as whether he'll practice or not. I really don't have aclassification for him yet.

�(Is there pain there or was it just numb?) What I noticed was weakness.That was the whole discussion from the time of the injury, through half-time and into the third quarter was that the strength wasn't there, thefeeling in the hand. As far as the pain, I'm not sure about the pain.

�(Did Bruschi's hit cause the injury?) It looked more like it (his elbow) hitthe ground than anything. I didn't sit there and study it, but my thoughtwas that his elbow hit the ground rather than the helmet, which we orig-inally thought.

�(Anything with the nerves that the doctors are concerned about?) No. Ijust got done with the doctors, and what I just told you was what theytold me. He took a shot on the elbow and didn't get into the specifics ofthe nerve and everything. They think he is going to be fine. He's not veryworried about it, which to them is a clear indication because he's beenthrough this, and they trust his judgment based on their history withhim.

�(Do you have to sign a third quarterback this week?) Correct. Yes, weare working on that now. We're trying to get some prospects in heretonight and be knocking that out in the next 24 hours.

�(Looking for a young guy or veteran, second QB or third string?) We'relooking at both scenarios - a potential veteran or a potential practice

squad (player). We're looking at every scenario out there now. �(When did Rodgers hurt his foot?) I'm not 100 percent sure. In talking

to him last night, I don't think he's real sure either. After watching thefilm, I think it was on the scramble. That'd be my best guess. You can'treally tell. You can see he starts limping after that point in the game.Based on the way his body was and the torque he put on his foot, thatwould be my guess. I'm not sure. I haven't seen Aaron today, so whenwe watch film today with the quarterbacks, I'm sure we'll figure it out. Itwas a scramble on their sideline - not sure about which down it was.

�(Played with it the rest of the way?) He played the whole fourth quarterwith it, yeah. It affected his footwork and some things later. He got ittaped right about that point and played the whole fourth quarter with it.

�(When will he have surgery?) We haven't scheduled it yet, but soonerrather than later.

�(Will he be ready to begin work with the regular offseason injury?) Yeah,but until he has the operation, that's all. Until they get in there and seeexactly what it is, we haven't even discussed it yet.

�(Is it like Blackmon's broken foot?) It's similar to Will's. �(Could have lost both quarterbacks - Where are you emotionally?)

Injuries, I say it over and over again and with the quarterback situation,it maybe changes the flight of your vision for your football team as youmove forward, but I can't control injuries. As far as when we talk aboutthem, I feel bad for the individual. As far as the football team, that's partof our season. Everyone has them, and everyone experiences it as somepoint with the quarterback. We've been blessed here in Green Bay withBrett's situation. We just plow forward and make sure we ask the play-ers to do the things they're capable of doing regardless of who the quar-terback is. If that means playing with Ingle Martin, then we'll play withIngle Martin. No excuses - I'm not going to sit here and make excuses.Everybody gets paid, it's a great game, tough business, but everyonehas a responsibility. We'll just move forward.

�(Was Favre just off or did his injuries bother him?) We haven't watchedthe film together yet. He has not communicated that to me, but that'ssomething I'll know more of when we get in there at 1 o'clock. I haven'ttalked to him about the specifics about each play. We'll go through it likewe normally do.

�(Have you ever seen him that inaccurate?) Ball accuracy was an issue. Idon't recall the passing game being so poor, and that goes back to thepreparation. I'm just disappointed clearly in our offensive performance,really the team performance as a whole, but in the offense the primaryfocus was the passing game. We need to get that fixed. We've been pret-ty good. I don't know what our ranking is in the league, but we're upthere. That was supposed to be the strength of our game planning, thestrength of our attack yesterday, and it wasn't.

�(Like to see Rodgers remain active in meetings and around the team?)Absolutely, I mean he's a young quarterback. Every time he's in thatroom, watching film, a part of that conversation, taking in the practicereps, I mean that position is such an education and the process of goingthrough it. Especially with a veteran quarterback like Brett Favre, it'd befoolish for him not to expose himself (to it). The plan is to keep himinvolved. On a personal level, you feel terrible for him because he's a guythat's been here since March 20. He's been here everyday going through

2006 Pronunciation Guide

DAY-AFTER-GAME TRANSCRIPT

the quarterback school, was getting ready to be potentially the starter forour football team, and then he finally gets an opportunity to play and thathappens to him. You feel bad for him on a personal level, but profes-sionally, he still has an opportunity to grow as a quarterback, so that willbe the plan with him.

�(How much does this hinder his development?) I mean it's a setback.The ultimate point of development for him right now is that he needs toplay. If he misses the opportunity to play again, then that's an opportu-nity wasted. We'll move on. He's young, and it's something that won'tbe career threatening or anything like that. It'sjust a setback for him personally.

�(Do you force feed Ingle Martin some practicereps now?) Well, you have to balance that. Ourstarter is a veteran, someone who has hadmore practice reps than anyone in the league.He still needs his reps during the week, andIngle's will go up. We'll do all the individualthings that we can with extra meeting time withTom (Clements) and post-practice drills, thingslike that. We'll do as much as we can.

�(Do you want to sign someone who has been ina camp or looking at someone who has beenaway from the game for a year or two?) Well,we're going to look at all of our options. I don't have criteria as far aswhere they are. We're not going to resurrect I don't think, but we'relooking at all of our options.

�(Have you seen development out of Martin since training camp?) Yeah,I think so. Particularly in the opponent squad, he's getting the ball outquicker; the game is slowing down for him. That's normal. You see thatin young quarterbacks. The speed of the game is always usually toomuch for them at first. He's doing a better job with his limited opportu-nities. Aaron still took reps with the opponent (squad), but he's improv-ing.

�(Other injuries?) Let me go down the list here. We have Aaron Rodgerswith the foot, we talked about him. Nick Barnett has a hand fracture.We're going to try to play him with a club. Ahman will go through hisnormal rehab on Wednesday. Cullen Jenkins, he has an ankle, we'regoing to test him today. It's the same ankle, just bothering him a littlemore than prior to the week. David Martin has a number of things, he'sgot the quad and the ribs, so we're looking at him today with some tests.Mark Tauscher is the same. We'll learn more about him. Ben Taylor hasa hamstring. We're going to test him also today. And Charles Woodsonhas a shoulder, and we'll test him today.

�(How did Barnett break his hand?) Right near the end of the game. I'mtrying to remember what the play was. It was on a run play right thereat the end of the game.

�(Jags said after the game he was going to watch film. Is that somethingyou normally do right after the game?) I don't usually watch the film thenight after. I did not watch it with him last night, so that must be some-thing he did on his own.

�(Manuel said after the game you guys got 'outcoached.' How do you feelabout comments like that from a player?) That's probably somethinghim and I need to talk about. That's nothing positive that can come fromcoming in here and talking about other people's comments. If that's theway he feels, then we need to have a conversation. I don't conversethrough the media.

�(How do you feel about Manuel's play at safety so far?) He's been put insome tough spots. But on the positive side of it, he's a very knowledge-able player. I think he's clearly the best communicator back there. It hasbeen an adjustment coming from the scheme he came from to here. Butthere are some plays we need to get fixed. It's not just always one guy.If it's always one thing, I think we would have fixed it by now. Just in ref-erence, everyone wants to talk about that play. We don't have coverschemes in our coverage design that put guys on an island where thetwo-way goes. There's other factors involved in that. We just have to

keep coaching it, recognizing it, and we have to play it better. And we'llcontinue to get it fixed. And we're going to continue to see it. You lookat the game yesterday, they had 17 attempts in their passing game at usvertically, and they hit on two or three of them. So we have to make surewe're 17-for-17, not 14-for-17, and that's kind of where we are rightnow, and it's going to keep coming. It will come in bunches until we fixit. That's the way this league works.

�(What is Brett's pain threshold compared to other QBs?) I think hisrecord for starts answers that question. I don't think it really was a painissue yesterday. I think it was more of a strength issue because he washaving a hard time controlling the football. The conversation that we hadcoming out at halftime is they were throwing it here inside, and hecouldn't control the ball very well. I don't think it was a pain issue.

�(How bruising was this entire experience?) The score, you know, 35-nothing, my goodness, at home, that's a poor performance, and as ahead coach I take full responsibility. Really for me, it starts with thepreparation we had. And that's something we've talked a lot about as astaff since then. Because I was not comfortable with some of the adjust-ments we made during the course of the week. Without getting into allthe specifics, because there were a number of them as far as handlingthe health of our football team, the way we practiced on Wednesday,decisions we made based on health of individuals, because a number ofthose things factored in the game. It's not an excuse, because there's alot of other things we need to do better. But that's the reality of whathappened this week. And hey, I thought New England played an excel-lent football game. They put their players in good position, I thought theyout-executed us and so forth. I take responsibility for not having thatteam ready for that football game. Those are the things I'm focused on.And with that, just like I told the team afterwards, it's reality. That is oneloss. The roller coaster is there, you guys are passing out the tickets,and I told them the same thing yesterday, we're not getting on it. Wehave to get ready for Seattle. Now we will get in there and we will talkabout accountability and we'll talk about availability. And we'll talk aboutcoaches teaching and demanding, we'll talk about players preparing andperforming. Because that's their job, that's what we're about, that's theway we'll approach it. Yes, we're disappointed. I'm disappointed and weneed to learn from it, because this is a negative that this team hasencountered at this point in the season. No one ever wants to go throughthis, especially this late in the season, but this is something that we canlearn from, this is something that we can build off of, and I think any-time you encounter situations like that, a lot of good things will come outof it. And that's what we need to accomplish today as a football team.

�(Would you change anything in how you practiced last week?) In hind-sight, you can overreact to things like that. I think Wednesday's practiceI would change. We're a young football team. A lot of problems weencountered yesterday were technical, they were not schematic. When Ileft the field yesterday, I thought we had made a number of mentalerrors. The information we had on the boundary and discussions we hadon the boundary there yesterday were not accurate on the film, andthat's not good, so we need to get that fixed. But a lot of our things weretechnical, and that's what happens to football teams at this point in theyear. Your pad level gets high because you're not in pads as much.You're trying to find that common ground between protecting your play-ers and the health of your football team because of the grind here in thesecond half, and also maintaining your fundamentals and things likethat. So we just have to get back to the fundamentals. All the things thatwent wrong yesterday, the good news is they're all fixable, and we'llfocus on that.

�(After an emotional victory in Minnesota, was this a letdown?) Well,that's something you need to make sure is not part of it. That's a com-mon thought process that happens to teams. I think it would be con-venient to say that happened to us. We have to make sure that is not thecase. Once again, I don't think we were ... I hope we weren't fat andhappy because we were 4-5 last week. We felt pretty good about our-selves coming out of that win, and rightfully so. That was a big game. Towin up there in that environment, that's a tough place to play. But thisleague is one week at a time. This past week was New England and we


7MIKE McCARTHY TRANSCRIPT continued

did not take care of business, and that starts with me. I need to do a bet-ter job.

�(What was the thinking with regards to Brett in the second half?) FranklyI told the quarterbacks regardless of who's in there, we're going. I couldhave slowed that game down, could have made the wound not as bad.I've been around that before. I don't believe in it, and that's a product ofit. We kept the gas on the pedal. We didn't go very far, but we tried, andI think that's why the game got out of hand quite frankly. I could haveprevented some of that. It's probably not fair to Aaron, but that's wherewe are as a football team. I am not going to line up and try to keep itclose. I refuse to do that, right or wrong or indifferent. I know there'sspots in the game, there are games where it happens to go that way andyou do it. But as a general mindset, that's not my interest right now.When we came out of the locker room, regardless of who the quarter-back was, we stayed aggressive in everything we did, we tried to empha-size the pass as the primary attack, and we did not get it done.

�(Will you be in pads this week?) We were in pads last week. We took thepads off on Wednesday because of the number of guys out. But we'llstick to our (schedule). We'll be in pads Wednesday and (Friday).

�(Did Favre lobby to get back in the game?) I just told Pepper and thoseguys to give me an update on how he was doing, and he did not regainhis strength.

�(Will you practice every day this week?) We're going to be off Thursdaybecause of the extra day. Trust me, we'll get our work done.

�(What do you mean by conversations on the boundary?) Sometimeswhat happens is, a guy gets kicked in the calf and he says he got kickedbut he has a torn Achilles. That's a common practice. It's no differentwhen a guy gets beat on a block and says this is what they're doing tome. You get pictures but they don't always tell the whole story. They onlytell one frame of the story. And you're over there correcting and tryingto make proper adjustments, then you watch the film the next day andthat's not what happened. We need to be better at communication iswhat it is. That happens unfortunately. And we've been very good aboutit. We've been very good about it. It's a small part of it, and we need toget it fixed.

�(As a head coach, do you feel you need to get more involved with thedefense?) I'm on the line the whole time they're out on the field. I'm notinvolved in every single one of their adjustments like I am on offense.You can only do so much. I'm comfortable with our structure.

TO OPEN THE SECOND HALF: The Packers have been able to consis-tently move the ball on each of their 10 possessions that opened the sec-ond half this season. In every con-test, they’ve recorded at least onefirst down on that drive.�Over a longer stretch, the team

has avoided the “three-and-out”on its first drive after halftime in 11 consecutive games, and 12 of theirlast 13.

ROOKIE STARTERS ON THE O-LINE: Tony Moll Nov. 12 at Minnesotaplayed much of the second half in place of an injured Mark Tauscher(groin). Moll, a natural right tackle who has made several starts at guardthis year, made his first NFL start at that position for Tauscher Sunday vs.New England.�Moll, who like former Patriots tackle Tom Ashworth was a tight end in

college, was drafted in the fifth round by the Packers out of Nevada.

�Including guards Daryn Colledge and Jason Spitz, the Packers havestarted three rookie offensive linemen for the only two times in theirrecorded history (vs. New England Nov. 19 and at Miami, Oct. 22, whenleft tackle Chad Clifton was sick in a 34-24 win).

�The last NFL team to start three rookies on its offensive line in multiplegames was the 2003 N.Y. Giants (twice). In research dating to the 1970merger, the Packers had never started three in a game before Oct. 22.

�Already this season, three Packers rookies have started on the offensiveline, and four — including Tony Palmer — have played. Palmer took twosnaps, including a third-down conversion in short yardage vs. NewOrleans Sept. 17.

�The Packers have not had as many as four rookie offensive linemen playat least one game in one season since 1987, when replacement playersfilled in for three contests during an NFL players’ strike. Green Bay usedsix rookies on the O-line that year.

�The last non-strike year they used as many as four rookies on the linewas 1984 (Mark Cannon, Gary Hoffman, Tony DeLuca and Boyd Jones).

ROOKIE GUARDS: The Packers gave starting nods to rookie guardsTony Moll and Jason Spitz Sept. 10. According to Elias Sports Bureau, thelast NFL team to start a rookie at each guard position in a season openerwas the 1996 Cincinnati Bengals, whose first offensive huddle includedKen Blackman and Rod Jones. �The last offensive line to feature a pair of rookies in a season opener was

the 2004 Chargers — Nick Hardwick (center) and Shane Olivea (tackle).�The last three NFL teams to start two rookie guards in a single contest

were: the 2004 Colts — six games with Ryan Lilja and Jake Scott; the2003 Giants — six games with David Diehl and Wayne Lucier; and the2002 49ers — one game with Eric Heitmann and Kyle Kosier.

�In Packers history, Sept. 10 was believed to be the first time the Packersstarted rookies at both guard spots in the same game.

�The last three times Green Bay started two rookies on the offensive linewere: 2000 — 10 games with Chad Clifton and Mark Tauscher (bothtackles); 1987 — three strike games with Jim Hobbins (G) and EdKonopasek (T); and 1985 — one game with Ken Ruettgers (T) and RichMoran (G).

LONG DRIVES: The Packers now have orchestrated eight touchdowndrives of at least 80 yards. Opponents, by comparison, have three. �Green Bay’s 97-yard drive to close the first half Sunday at Minnesota

was its longest since a 98-yard march vs. Tennessee, Oct. 11, 2004.

NET PASSING: The Packers now have reached 300 net passing yards(gross yards minus those lost on sacks) on three occasions this year. Only11 previous offenses in Packers history have reached the landmark at leastthree times in a season. The club record is six (three times, in 1983, 1989and 2004).

TOTAL OFFENSE: Prior to a difficult day vs. New England Nov. 19, thePackers had generated 810 yards of totaloffense over their previous two games. Thelast time the team strung together moreyards in consecutive outings was the endof the 2004 season (847 at Minnesota andChicago).

TEAM NOTES

THE 2006 PACKERS


9HALFTIME LEAD IS HUGE: The Packers now are 3-1 this season witha halftime lead. �With an advantage at intermission, Brett Favre during his streak is 110-

24 (.821) and 45-17 (.726) in road games.

DEFENSE ON THE ROAD: On the road, on 17 of opponents’ last 25possessions, the Packers defense has forced either a punt or turnover (15punts, two takeaways). Three of those 25 drives were ended by the clock.

TURNOVER FREE: Green Bay now is 2-0 this season in games withouta giveaway, including Nov. 12 at Minnesota. �Over a longer stretch, the team has won 23 of its last 24 games playing

turnover-free football, since a loss at Minnesota, Dec. 1, 1997. GreenBay’s only loss in such games during that stretch was a 23-20 setbackat Minnesota, Oct. 23, 2005.

�Including playoffs, the Packers have won 26 of their last 27.

LIMITING TURNOVERS: The Packers in their four wins have a cumu-lative plus-four turnover ratio. In their six losses, the margin is minus-eight.�On Nov. 19 vs. New England, the team lost for only the fifth time since

2000 when it committed one turnover or less.�Still, no other NFL club has a better winning percentage since 2000 when

committing one turnover or less:Pct Club W L T

DON’T CHALLENGE THE PACKERS: Including twice Nov. 12 atMinnesota and five times overall this year, opponents have been unsuc-cessful on each of their last 12 challenges.�The streak began Dec. 19, 2004, when Jacksonville’s Jack Del Rio chal-

lenged a play in which Darren Sharper — then with Green Bay —returned a Byron Leftwich fumble 15 yards for a touchdown.

�Opponent head coaches in 2005 were 0-for-6 on instant-replay chal-lenges, and are now 1-for-their-last-13 dating to 2004.

�Steve Mariucci — then with Detroit — was the last coach to success-fully challenge a call, taking an interception and touchdown away fromSharper, Dec. 12, 2004, at Lambeau Field.

ON PACE FOR: Notable statistical achievements within reach down thestretch:�With 33 sacks as a team, the Packers are on pace for 53. The franchise

record is 52, by the 2001 club.�Having allowed just 99.6 rushing yards per game, the Packers’ defense

is on pace to give up only 1,594 yards on the ground, its fewest since1998, when the team allowed 1,442 (90.1 avg.), fourth in the NFL.

�Donald Driver is on pace for a career-best 93 receptions. Only twoPackers have reached that the 100-catch milestone: Sterling Sharpe(112 in 1993 and 108 in 1992) and Robert Brooks (102 in 1995).

�Driver also is on pace for a career-best 1,301 receiving yards. His cur-rent career best is 1,221 in 2005. By reaching 1,000, he would becomethe third Packers player to reach the mark in at least four seasons, join-ing Sharpe and Hall of Famer James Lofton (both five).

�Brett Favre is on pace for 21 touchdown passes, which would leave himwith 417 career and three shy of Dan Marino’s NFL record, 420.

�However, Favre also is on pace to throw just 11 interceptions. His fewestduring his 15 years as a starter was 13 in 1992, 1995 and ‘96.

�Ahman Green is on pace for 1,030 rushing yards. He needs to reach1,105 to break the franchise’s career record, held by Hall of Famer JimTaylor (8,207).

�A.J. Hawk is on pace for 157 tackles, which would be the most by aPackers rookie since Rich Wingo had 166 in 1979.

�Greg Jennings is on pace for 48 catches and 818 yards. Green Bay’srespective records among rookies are held by Sharpe (55 in 1988) andBilly Howton (1,231 in 1952). Jennings’ catches would be the most by arookie since Sharpe, while his yards would be the most since Howton.

�Jennings is on pace for five TD catches, which would be the most by aPackers rookie since Lofton had six in 1978. Howton holds the record,13 in 1952.

�Aaron Kampman is on pace for 16 sacks, which would be tied for themost since Tim Harris established the team record with 19½ in 1989.Reggie White had 16 in his final Packers season, 1998.

�Dave Rayner is on pace for 16 touchbacks. The most by a Packers kick-er during the Super Bowl era (since 1966) was Chester Marcol’s 28 in1972. The most since 1990 was Chris Jacke’s 15 in 1991.

�Jon Ryan, with a 46.4 gross average, is on pace to eclipse CraigHentrich’s 1997 franchise record, 45.0.

�Charles Woodson is on pace for 19 passes defensed. His career best is21, established during his rookie 1998 campaign with Oakland.

PASS PLAYS PER SACK: By measure of pass plays per sack, thePackers have are among the best in the league on both sides of the ball.

PACKERS TEAM NOTES continued

MULTIPLE HAT TRICKS: Corey Williams Nov. 5 at Buffalo became thefirst defensive tackle in team history with three sacks. Coupled withKampman’s three-sack effort vs. New Orleans (Sept. 17), only four timesin team annals have more than one player pulled off the sack hat trick (alsoReggie White and Bryce Paup in 1993, Kabeer Gbaja-Biamila and VonnieHolliday in 2002 and Gbaja-Biamila and Kampman in 2005).

NOVEMBER 1 & LATER: This decade, Brett Favre and the Packers haveplayed their best football after the October-November calendar change.Even in 2005, when the club sustained a 4-12 record, three of the team’sfour wins came in the season’s final two months. �The NFL’s best records since 2000, Nov. 1 and later:

MULTIPLE 100-YARD RUSHERS: On Oct. 29 vs. Arizona, for the firsttime since the “Snow Bowl,” Dec. 1, 1985, two Packers topped 100 yardsrushing. Ahman Green (106) and Vernand Morency (101 yards) becamethe first pair since Eddie Lee Ivery (109) and Gerry Ellis (101) 21 years ago. �While Morency sustained a back injury that sidelined him indefinitely,

the player who took his place is no stranger to 100-yard games. NoahHerron, with Ahman Green inactive Oct. 8 vs. St. Louis, rushed for 106yards on 20 carries (5.3 avg.) and one TD.

�So, also for the first time since 1985, the Packers have three playerswho’ve enjoyed 100-yard rushing games in the same season.

�While uncommon in Packers annals, three 100-yard rushers isn’t thatodd across the league. Atlanta also has three players this season andJacksonville and San Francisco had three last season, when MikeMcCarthy was the 49ers’ offensive coordinator.

�When the Packers won Super Bowl XXXI, the team had just one 100-yard rushing game during a 13-3 regular season: Edgar Bennett (109)vs. Minnesota, Dec. 22, 1996.

STRONG-LEGGED KICKERS: Because they play most of their gamesin the challenging climate of the Upper Midwest, the Packers are constant-ly on the lookout for kickers with above-average leg strength. They seemto have found just that in first-year punter Jon Ryan and second-year kick-er Dave Rayner.�Rayner on Oct. 2 at Philadelphia nailed a 54-yard field goal that tied the

longest ever kicked by a Packers player. Later that night, he attemptedanother 54-yarder that had the distance but sailed wide left. Chris Jackehad a 54-yarder on Jan. 2, 1994, at Detroit, and Ryan Longwell had oneon Dec. 16, 2001, at Tennessee.

�On Oct. 22 at Miami, Rayner booted a 55-yard field goal. The kick wouldhave been a franchise record but a pre-snap Miami penalty took thepoints off the board.

�The Michigan State product, who beat out veteran Billy Cundiff in train-ing camp, is used to kicking in the Midwest. His 10 touchbacks this yearalready are the most in a season by a Packers kicker since Longwell had11 in 1997.

�Ryan, meanwhile, ranks third in the league with a 46.4 gross average.On the strength of two 66-yard punts, Ryan is on pace to break the 1997franchise record held by Craig Hentrich (45.0 avg. on 75 punts).

NFL’S YOUNGEST TEAM GETTING YOUNGER: The Packersentered 2006 with the league’s youngest roster, in terms of average ageand experience. After several moves over the past two months, Green Bayhas actually gotten younger.�Green Bay enters the weekend with a league-high 17 rookies. The num-

ber increases to 20 when including the Packers’ three “first-year” play-ers (those who’ve played for other pro teams or been in NFL camps priorto 2006 but had never spent more than six games on a regular-seasonroster).

�What’s more, the Packers have 10 second-year players. That means thatof the 53 players on the active roster, 57 percent (or 30 total) have lessthan three years of NFL experience.

�But in a credit to the coaching staff, and unofficial coach Brett Favre, theteam is using its youth as an advantage and remains in the playoff hunt.

TOUGH AFTER THE BYE: If recent history is any indication, thePackers can look forward to better things now that their bye is in the past.�Counting games immediately following bye weeks, the Packers have

won nine of their last 11, including Oct. 22 at Miami.�In 2003, Green Bay went 7-2 (.778) after the bye. Only three teams post-

ed better marks, including the Super Bowl champion Patriots.�In 2005, three of the Packers’ four wins came after the weekend off.�Since 2001, Green Bay ranks fourth in the league with a cumulative 33-

18 (.647) record after the weekend off.�A look at the NFL’s Top 10 teams, from 2001-06, in cumulative games

ROAD TOUCHDOWN PASSES: With his two touchdown passes atMinnesota Nov. 12, quarterback Brett Favre now has thrown 198 on theroad, setting an NFL record.

FAVRE THROWING FEWER INTERCEPTIONS: Brett Favre has justtwo INTs over his last six games. �Favre this season is on pace to throw a career-low 11 interceptions.

ONLY TWO VIKINGS REMAIN: Only about half the NFL teams publishconsecutive starts in their records section, partly because early press-boxstatisticians did not universally and consistently document starting line-ups. Even Brett Favre’s own team cannot confirm whether his streak is thelongest in club history, because lineups were not recorded at every homeand road game before 1962.

TOP RECEIVING AVERAGE DURING STREAK: Donald Driver’s31.83-yard average per reception Nov. 12 at Minnesota was the highest fig-ure by a Packers receiver during Brett Favre’s 230-game starting streak(minimum three receptions, since Sept. 27, 1992). The previous high was31.00, by Javon Walker at Oakland, Dec. 22, 2003, one day after Favre’sfather passed away.�Driver now owns three of the top five marks, all of which have come in

road games, during the streak (Elias Sports Bureau):

WEARING DOWN OPPONENTS: One of the signatures of thePackers’ new zone-blocking scheme is being able to wear down opponentslate in the game. One manifestation of that characteristic is Ahman Green’sper-carry rushing average in the fourth quarter, which ranks fifth in the NFLon a list littered with players from teams that employ zone schemes.

LONG GONE: Many wondered whether Ahman Green still had it in him.But the man himself had no doubts and 364 days after he ruptured hisquadriceps tendon and saw his 2005 season end, the four-time Pro Bowlerdelivered a crushing 70-yard touchdown run Oct. 22 at Miami. �Green’s burst was his longest since a

90-yard TD run, Oct. 24, 2004, vs.Dallas. He now has four career of atleast 70 yards (also 98t vs. Denver,Dec. 28, 2003; 90t vs. Dallas, Oct. 24,2004; and 83t vs. Detroit, Sept. 9,2001).

RB RECEIVING RECORDS: AhmanGreen, already the franchise’s all-timeleader among running backs with 322career receptions, can take another stepthis week in his quest to cement hislegacy as the top all-around back inPackers history.�Green needs just 7 receiving yards to erase Gerry Ellis’ name in the

Packers record book; Ellis compiled 2,514 receiving yards during hisPackers career (1980-86), most among Packers backs. Green, whoenters with 2,508, would take Ellis’ No. 15 spot on the overall all-timereceiving yards list.

Favre

PACKERS SUSTAIN 35-0 LOSS: The Green Bay Packers headed intoSunday's game against New England with momentum from winning threeof their last four games and optimism for the rest of the season shouldthey be able to even their record at .500. �But all momentum and optimism, at least temporarily, were squelched

by the Patriots in a 35-0 loss in front of 70,753 fans at Lambeau Fieldthat dropped the Packers to 4-6with another difficult game await-ing Monday night at defendingNFC champion Seattle.

�To make matters worse, thePackers lost quarterback BrettFavre in the second quarter to an elbow injury and his status for nextweek remains unknown, while backup quarterback Aaron Rodgers fin-ished the game but was seen limping afterward and needed treatment inthe training room.

�It all added up to a very rough day in Green Bay, with things turning theopposite direction most thought after a resounding win at Minnesotajust one week ago.

� "Last week we took a step forward, and now we took two steps back,"said Tony Moll, who made his first start at right tackle in place of aninjured Mark Tauscher. "That's how we're feeling right now. We're backin a hole and we have to get out of it."

�Adding to the challenge is a quarterback situation very much uncertainas of Sunday night.

�Favre was off to a poor start, completing just 5 of 15 passes for 73 yardsand missing some of the few openings the Patriots gave him, when hewas sacked with 1 minute, 41 seconds left in the second quarter. Outsidelinebacker Tully Banta-Cain grabbed Favre around the legs while insidelinebacker Tedy Bruschi hit him in the upper body.

�Favre fell on his elbow and Head Coach Mike McCarthy said he hit anerve or funny bone. He left the game, spent extra time in the lockerroom at halftime being evaluated, and then returned to the sideline in thethird quarter but did not come back into the game. McCarthy said hecouldn't find enough strength in his hand to hold the ball.

� "I asked him if he was all right and he said, 'Not yet,' which I knew withhim, when he says something like that, it's usually pretty significant,"center Scott Wells said. "He's a guy that even though it hurts, he comesright back in. For him to sit out, he obviously was in significant pain."

�Whether Favre's NFL record 231 consecutive starts at quarterback (251including playoffs) is in jeopardy heading into the Seattle game will bedetermined later in the week.

�As his replacement, Rodgers didn't fare much better, completing just 4of 12 passes for 32 yards, rushing for 11 of the team's total of 43 on theground, and getting sacked three times, including on his final snap in thefourth quarter.

�In all, the Packers offense was simply shut down, gaining just 120 yards,five first downs, and converting 1 of 13 on third down.

� "It takes all 11 on offense to make plays in order for us to do well," vet-eran fullback William Henderson said. "Today, there were too many mis-takes, mentally, physically, just not holding up to the challenges. We willreview film, we will look at it, we will analyze it to the fullest to find outwhat happened today."

�The defense had its struggles as well, as the three-time Super Bowlchampion Patriots and quarterback Tom Brady rebounded from theirfirst two-game losing streak in four years and showed why they still setthe standard for proficiency and execution.

�Brady completed 20 of 31 passes for 244 yards and four touchdowns,compiling a sparkling 128.2 quarterback rating while getting sacked justonce and throwing no interceptions.

�Brady seemingly converted every play he needed to, hitting tight endDaniel Graham for a 2-yard touchdown on fourth-and-1 in the first quar-ter, receiver Reche Caldwell when he split the Green Bay safeties for an

easy 54-yard score just before halftime, tight end Ben Watson with aperfectly placed throw just inside the end zone boundary for an 8-yardTD in the third quarter, and running back Laurence Maroney on a swingpass in the fourth quarter that the rookie turned into a 19-yard score.

� "They did a good job moving receivers around, attacking the weaknessof the defense no matter what coverage you're in," cornerback Al Harrissaid. "They did a good job sticking with the game plan and finding theopen guy. Whether it's a 5-yard pass or a 54-yard pass, he was findingthe guys that were open."

�The dominance on both sides led to a nearly 2-to-1 difference in time ofpossession, with the Patriots holding the ball for 39:10 to 20:50 for thePackers.

� "You make one little mistake, they'll make you pay," linebacker BradyPoppinga said. "That's what they do. They don't do anything special.They just play well, and they're good."

�The kind of good the Packers aspire to be, and they went into Sunday'sgame looking at the contest as a barometer of where they are in relationto the league's best. The results obviously were disappointing and leavethe Packers well aware of how much work lies ahead.

� "It was a measuring stick to me," tight end Bubba Franks said. "Theteams we beat, they all have losing records. To come up against a teamlike this, it was a challenge. That's what we expected, and we didn'tanswer the challenge. Not today."

�But that's not to say they won't. Several players in the locker room afterthe game emphasized that no one is going to give up the fight, just likethey didn't when they were 1-4, and just like they didn't after the frus-trating loss in Buffalo.

� "This was a tough loss for us. I didn't really see this coming. But it hap-pened, it's the reality," defensive end Aaron Kampman said. "We justhave to regroup tomorrow. As far as our confidence goes, that's onething I've always liked about our locker room is we're a resilient group.This will definitely test that and hopefully we'll come out on top."

DRIVER GETS RESPECT, ATTENTION FROM PATRIOTS: DonaldDriver certainly had the respect from the New England Patriots as the topreceiver for the Packers, if not one of the top receivers in the league. �Driver said after Sunday's 35-0 loss that he felt like he was triple-

teamed, with a cornerback on him plus help from a linebacker under-neath and a safety over the top.

�While that may be a bit of an exag-geration, the Patriots certainlypaid extra attention to Driver,holding him to a season-low twocatches.

� "After the game their defensivecoordinator walks over to me and tells me, 'You're a great receiver. Wedid what we had to do tonight,'" Driver said. "I guess his goal was to putthree guys on me and stop me tonight."

�Driver was shut out until two minutes remained in the first half, when hecaught a short hitch pass, spun past a few tacklers and worked his wayupfield for 38 yards. His only other catch was a diving grab for 4 yardsmidway through the third quarter.

� "They said they were going to keep me away from the ball," said Driver,who was coming off a career-high 191-yard game at Minnesota lastweek. "They did the first half, and we tried to come back in the secondhalf and try to make plays happen, and they still had three or four guyson me, so it's hard."

�Driver's struggles epitomized those of the entire offense. Even thoughhe had two catches, he had two of the three pass receptions by Packerswide receivers. The other was by Greg Jennings, with the remaining sixcompletions all short passes to running backs and tight ends.

� "I know Greg and Ruvell (Martin) can step up at any time and makeplays," Driver said. "It just didn't happen tonight."

NOTEBOOK

LAST WEEK — NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS

NEW ENGLAND . . . . .35at GREEN BAY . . . . . . .0

BLOWN OPPORTUNITY — If the Packers had one chance to stay in thegame early, it was late in the first quarter after the Patriots fumbled a hand-off exchange and A.J. Hawk recovered at the New England 30. �But the offense gained just 4 yards in three plays, and Dave Rayner's 44-

yard field goal attempt sailed wide right, keeping the score 7-0. �Rayner had made eight straight field goals dating back to Oct. 8. He had

been 4-for-5 from 40 to 49 yards until that miss.

OTHER INJURIES — Tight end David Martin left the game with a rib injury,but X-rays were negative. Linebacker Nick Barnett hurt his hand toward theend of the game, but there was no additional information.

BRADY AT LAMBEAU FIELD: According to Elias Sports Bureau, TomBrady became only the third quarterback in NFL history to throw for four-or-more touchdowns in his first career game at Lambeau Field:

5 Dan Marino Dec. 8, 1985 Mia. 34, GB 244 Jeff Garcia Oct. 15, 2000 GB 31, SF 28

Tom Brady Nov. 19, 2006 NE 35, GB 0

OTHER POSTGAME NOTES:�Brett Favre did not complete a start due to injury for only the sixth time

during his 231-game streak (251 including playoffs).�Rob Davis played in his 145th consecutive game and surpassed No. 6

Ryan Longwell (1997-2005) on the team’s list of longest games-playedstreaks.

�Donald Driver now has a reception in 74 consecutive games to extendthe franchise’s second-longest streak behind Sterling Sharpe’s 103(1988-94).

�Bubba Franks played in his 100th NFL game.�William Henderson (182) surpassed No. 5 LeRoy Butler (181) on the

team’s all-time list.�Marquand Manuel established his single-season career high in tackles,

surpassing the 67 he posted in 2005 with Seattle.

ROOKIE HEAD COACHES IN ONE DIVISION: The NFC North fea-tures three first-time NFL head coaches in 2006: Minnesota’s BradChildress, Detroit’s Rod Marinelli and McCarthy.�According to Elias Sports Bureau, in the era since the 1970 league merg-

er, this marks the first instance as many as three rookie head coacheshave occupied the same division at the start of a season.

�The last time there were three rookie head coaches in a division at anypoint in a season was 2000, when Dallas’ Dave Campo, Arizona’s DaveMcGinnis and Washington’s Terry Robiskie battled in the NFC East.

�There are 10 new NFL head coaches, including three in the NFC North –Brad Childress (Minnesota), Rod Marinelli (Detroit) and Mike McCarthy(Green Bay). That trio comprises three of the seven “rookie” headcoaches in the league this year – those with no previous NFL head-coaching experience. That is the most rookie head coaches in any oneyear in 40 years (1966). The other rookies: Gary Kubiak (Houston), ScottLinehan (St. Louis), Eric Mangini (N.Y. Jets) and Sean Payton (NewOrleans). The “veteran” new head coaches: Herm Edwards (KansasCity), Dick Jauron (Buffalo) and Art Shell (Oakland).

WHEN FAVRE HITS CENTURY MARK: Elias Sports Bureau, theNFL’s official statistician for half a century, never intended for its passer rat-ing to reflect efficiency on a game-by-game basis. The company imple-mented the system to reflect efficiency over an entire season, or an entirecareer.�Nonetheless, in games when Brett Favre compiles at least a 100.0 rating,

the Packers are 72-7 (.911) and 3-0 this year. They’re 40-0 at home(1.000) and 32-7 (.821) on the road.

RUSHING TOUCHDOWNS MATTER: The Packers under MikeMcCarthy have established their identity as a run-oriented offense. And thisyear, as in previous seasons, when the team gets into the end zone, theytend to win more than they lose.�Since a rash of injuries to their wide receivers forced the Packers into a

run-oriented offense early in the 2003 season, the team is 20-10 (.667)when rushing for at least one touchdown. Green Bay has won 17 of itslast 23 games with one-or-more rushing TDs.

FIVE IN THE FIRST 75: The Packers this past April used several tradesto increase their draft class from seven to 12 overall selections, and woundup with the most draft choices in the NFL.�Included in that group of 12 were five Day 1 choices in the fertile ground

from selections 1-75 — LB A.J. Hawk (5), G/T Daryn Colledge (47), WRGreg Jennings (52), LB Abdul Hodge (67) and G/C Jason Spitz (75).

�Since 1993, when the league reduced the draft from 12 rounds to seven,only four previous teams have had as many picks in the first 75 selec-tions:

Team Year ChoicesSan Francisco 2000 LB Julian Peterson (16), CB Ahmed Plummer

(24), DE John Engelberger (35), CB JasonWebster (48), QB Giovanni Carmazzi (65)

Tampa Bay 1997 RB Warrick Dunn (12), WR Reidel Anthony (16),T Jerry Wunsch (37), G Frank Middleton (63), CBRonde Barber (66)

20 PACKERS PAST WITH LEE REMMEL

By Lee RemmelTeam Historian

Mike Holmgren’s mind, it is safe to assume, will befirmly fixed on the task at hand when he and hisSeahawks entertain the Green Bay Packers in Seattle’sQwest Field Monday night.

If it were not for such a significant assignment, one ofmany in his bid for a second consecutive berth in the Super Bowl,the Seahawks’ head coach could be celebrating an “anniversary” ofsorts.

Specifically, that would involve remembering the dedication of“Holmgren Way,” a street in Ashwaubenon, a bustling village con-tiguous to Green Bay. The honor was conferred upon him duringhis seventh and final year as head coach of the Packers.

Originally named Gross Avenue, it was formally renamedHolmgren Way during ceremonies conducted on Nov. 20,1998.

Poetically, “Holmgren Way” intersects Lombardi Avenuejust one block east of Lambeau Field, a historic junction.

Grateful Green Bay/Ashwaubenon residents and Packersfans thus paid public thanks to the monolithic Scandinavianfor leading the Green and Gold to back-to-back Super Bowlappearances following the 1996 and 1997 National FootballLeague seasons.

And, of course, for providing the Packers faithful with theirthird Super Bowl victory…their first in 29 years.

Also for presiding over a 25-game winning streak inLambeau Field, the second longest such home skein in theannals of professional football.

Time having a habit of flying, it may not seem possible butHolmgren currently is in the eighth and final year of the contract hesigned upon arriving in Seattle following the 1998 season — areportedly $32 million document.

As noted, he left behind a substantial legacy in departingTitletown.

Other than the legendary Vince Lombardi, Holmgren remains theonly coach in the team’s srtoried history to lead the Packers to aSuper Bowl victory.

Along the way, he escorted Green Bay to seven consecutive win-ning seasons, six playoff berths, three division titles and twoNational Football Conference championships.

To be sure, however, the highlight of his tenure was the Packers’35-21 conquest of the New England Patriots in Super Bowl XXXI atthe Louisiana Superdome in New Orleans.

And, appropriately, with the wind chill registering a frigid 0 to 10degrees below zero during a three-hour tour of the city, an esti-mated 200,000 enthusiastic fans welcomed the Packers home fromthe world championship the next day (Jan. 27, 1997).

Another 60,000 jammed Lambeau Field a day later for the official

program hailing the new world champions.With memories such as these, Holmgren obviously has

cause to remember his highly successful stay in GreenBay. And, of course, Holmgren Way.

Conversely, Titletown has good reason to remember the58-year-old San Franciscan and his contributions.

Beyond such matters, Holmgren has been agreeable toreturning to his old “home town” when the need arises —in addi-tion, of course, to when the NFL schedule calls for his Seahawks toengage the Packers.

Most recently, in July of 2005, he was back in Green Bay toinduct one of his Super Bowl own, running back Edgar Bennett, intothe Packers Hall of Fame.

HOLMGREN WAY MARKS ITS ANNIVERSARY AS PACKERS DUEL WITH ‘HAWKS

Monday marks thefourth time MikeHolmgren will facethe Packers sincehe left Green Bayfor Seattle. All four meetings, including the2003 playoffs, have been in Green Bay
