LIONS AT PACKERS - WEEK <strong>17</strong><br />

PUT IT ON THE BOARD<br />

With one game remaining on the schedule, the Packers have easily<br />

eclipsed the franchise record for the most points scored in a season:<br />

The Packers are on pace for 549 points this season. That would rank<br />

as the No. 3 scoring season in <strong>NFL</strong> history behind only the 2007 New<br />

England Patriots (589) and the 1998 Minnesota Vikings (556).<br />

The Packers’ 515-point total ranks No. 8 in <strong>NFL</strong> single-season history.<br />

They are one of only 14 teams in league annals to score 500-plus points.<br />

Green Bay's point total through 15 games ranks tied for No. 3<br />

among teams since 1978 (first year of 16-game season):<br />

2. 1996 56<br />

3. 2009 54<br />

The Packers have outscored their opponents 515-318 this season, a<br />

197-point differential that ranks No. 1 in the <strong>NFL</strong>.<br />

The Packers have scored on 80 of 155 offensive possessions (57 TDs,<br />

23 FGs), a scoring efficiency of 48.5 percent that ranks No. 2 in the<br />

<strong>NFL</strong> (New Orleans, 50.3).<br />

The Packers scored at least 24 points in each of the first 13 games<br />

this season, a streak that topped an eight-game one (Sept. 22-Nov. 10,<br />

1963) for the longest single-season streak in franchise annals.<br />

The Packers’ 49 points in <strong>Week</strong> 4 <strong>vs</strong>. Denver were the most since Oct.<br />

9, 2005 (52 <strong>vs</strong>. New Orleans), and gave Green Bay two 42-point games<br />

in the first four contests, a franchise first (since 1921).<br />

Green Bay’s 45 points at San Diego in <strong>Week</strong> 9 was the second-highest<br />

total on the road during Head Coach Mike McCarthy’s tenure behind<br />

only the 48 posted at <strong>Detroit</strong> on Sept. 14, 2008.<br />

With one game remaining this season, the Packers have already recorded<br />

a franchise-record five games with 42-plus points:<br />

Green Bay has had five games this season with 24-plus points in the first<br />

half, the most in franchise history. That topped the previous mark of four<br />

24-plus point first halves in 1983.<br />

Under McCarthy, Green Bay has a 38-2 mark (.950) in the regular season<br />

when it scores 30 or more points.<br />

STAT OF THE WEEK<br />

Facing the Bears this past Sunday night, the oldest rivalry in <strong>NFL</strong> history,<br />

the Packers ac<strong>com</strong>plished a rare feat in the series.<br />

In the 35-21 victory over Chicago at Lambeau Field, Green Bay did not<br />

<strong>com</strong>mit a single penalty. According to the Elias Sports Bureau, the last<br />

time the Packers didn’t have an accepted penalty in a game against the<br />

Bears came at Chicago on Nov. 15, 1942, at Wrigley Field.<br />

The zero-penalty game was also significant in recent Green Bay history.<br />

The last time the Packers didn’t <strong>com</strong>mit a penalty during a regularseason<br />

contest came <strong>vs</strong>. Tampa Bay on Nov. 25, 1990, in Milwaukee.<br />

Sunday marked the 11th zero-penalty game in franchise annals.<br />

The Packers rank No. 1 in the league this season for the fewest accepted<br />

penalties (70) and No. 2 in penalty yardage (511).<br />

In 2010, Green Bay tied for No. 3 in the league with 78 accepted penalties.<br />

That was the fewest by the Packers in a season since the league<br />

went to a 16-game schedule in 1978. The previous low was 80 penalties<br />

in both 1983 and 2001.<br />

LIONS AT PACKERS - WEEK <strong>17</strong><br />

SEVEN PACKERS EARN PRO BOWL SELECTIONS<br />

The <strong>NFL</strong> announced Pro Bowl rosters on Tuesday, and the Packers were<br />

represented with seven selections on this year’s team.<br />

WR Greg Jennings, FB John Kuhn, LB Clay Matthews, QB<br />

Aaron Rodgers, NT B.J. Raji, C Scott Wells and CB Charles<br />

Woodson were all named to the team, with Kuhn, Matthews, Rodgers<br />

and Woodson selected as starters for the NFC squad.<br />

It marks the first time since 2004 that the Packers have had four offensive<br />

players selected to the Pro Bowl. For the fourth straight season,<br />

Green Bay has had at least three defensive players honored.<br />

For three of the players (Kuhn, Raji, Wells), it marks the first Pro Bowl<br />

selections of their careers.<br />

For Jennings, it is his second straight Pro Bowl selection as he be<strong>com</strong>es<br />

the first Green Bay wide receiver to be honored in back-to-back years<br />

since Donald Driver (2006-07).<br />

Matthews be<strong>com</strong>es the first Packer since RB John Brockington (1971-73)<br />

to earn Pro Bowl recognition each of his first three seasons in the league.<br />

Rodgers, who also was named to the Pro Bowl in 2009, was selected as<br />

the starter for the NFC for the first time in his career.<br />

Woodson has earned his eighth career Pro Bowl bid and fourth straight<br />

as a member of the Packers (also four straight years as a starter). He<br />

is the first Green Bay cornerback since Herb Adderley (1963-67) to be<br />

selected to the Pro Bowl in four consecutive seasons.<br />

SUCCESS IN THE DIVISION<br />

Sunday’s game will mark the Packers’ sixth and final contest against an<br />

NFC North foe this season, with Green Bay posting a perfect 5-0 mark in<br />

divisional games so far this season.<br />

Since the <strong>NFL</strong> went to a divisional format in 1967, the Packers have<br />

never gone undefeated in the division. The last team to sweep<br />

the NFC North/Central was the 1987 Chicago Bears (7-0).<br />

The Packers have a 26-9 (.743) regular-season record against NFC North<br />

opponents under Head Coach Mike McCarthy, a divisional record that<br />

ranks No. 2 in the <strong>NFL</strong> over that span:<br />

Team W-L Record Pct.<br />

1. New England 27-8-0 .771<br />

2. Green Bay 26-9-0 .743<br />

3. San Diego 25-10-0 .714<br />

4. Indianapolis 24-11-0 .686<br />

5. Pittsburgh 24-11-0 .686<br />

Green Bay has won 14 of <strong>17</strong> NFC North games at Lambeau Field under<br />

McCarthy, which is tied for the No. 2 divisional home mark in the<br />

league since 2006:<br />

Team W-L Record Pct.<br />

1. Indianapolis 15-3-0 .824<br />

2t. Green Bay 14-3-0 .813<br />

2t. New England 14-3-0 .813<br />

4t. Several teams 13-5-0 .722<br />

The Packers have won at least four contests in their division every season<br />

under McCarthy. Green Bay and New England are the only teams in<br />

the league to post four-plus wins in its division each year from 2006-11.<br />

AS THE WEATHER TURNS<br />

In 2009 and 2010, the Packers’ late-season success was instrumental<br />

in advancing to the postseason. Since McCarthy took over in 2006, the<br />

Packers have been one of the best teams in the league down the stretch.<br />

The Packers have an 18-9 regular-season record in December/January<br />

games since 2006, a .667 winning percentage that is tied for No. 6 in<br />

the <strong>NFL</strong> over that span:<br />

Team Dec./Jan. W-L Record Pct.<br />

1t. New England 25-3-0 .893<br />

1t. San Diego 25-3-0 .893<br />

4t. Pittsburgh 19-9-0 .679<br />

6t. Green Bay 18-9-0 .667<br />

6t. Baltimore 18-9-0 .667<br />

That includes a 12-2 record at Lambeau Field in December/January, the<br />

No. 3 mark in the league at home since 2006:<br />

Team Dec./Jan. W-L Record (Home) Pct.<br />

1. New England 12-0-0 1.000<br />

3. Green Bay 12-2-0 .857<br />

4. Indianapolis 13-3-0 .813<br />

5. Houston 12-3-0 .800<br />

FINE FINISH<br />

Under McCarthy, the Packers have registered an unblemished record in<br />

regular-season finales.<br />

Green Bay is one of only four teams in the league to register a 5-0 mark<br />

in its final regular-season games since 2006:<br />

Team Season Finales (Since ’06) Pct.<br />

1t. Green Bay 5-0-0 1.000<br />

1t. San Diego 5-0-0 1.000<br />

5t. Six teams 4-1-0 .800<br />

McCarthy is one of only three coaches in franchise history to win five<br />

consecutive regular-season finales, joining Vince Lombardi (1959-63)<br />

and Mike Holmgren (1994-98). McCarthy and Texans head coach Gary<br />

Kubiak are the only current coaches in the <strong>NFL</strong> to lead their team<br />

to a 5-0 mark in season finales since 2006.<br />

On Sunday, McCarthy will look to be<strong>com</strong>e the first head coach in team<br />

history to win six consecutive regular-season finales.<br />

The Packers’ success in the final game of the season pre-dates<br />

McCarthy’s arrival. Green Bay has actually won eight straight regularseason<br />

finales (2003-10), the longest current streak in the <strong>NFL</strong>,<br />

ahead of the five-game streaks posted by the Ravens, Texans and<br />

Chargers.<br />

of offense in every game this season. Dating back to last season, the<br />

Packers have registered 315-plus yards of offense in 21 of their<br />

In each of the previous five seasons under McCarthy, the offensive<br />

play-caller, the Packers have finished in the top 10 in total offense. New<br />

Orleans is the only other team to ac<strong>com</strong>plish the feat over that span<br />

(2006-10).<br />

Wth an average of 358.1 yards per game, Green Bay checked in at No. 9<br />

in the team offensive rankings in 2010.<br />

That included the No. 5 passing offense at 257.8 yards per contest,<br />

following up an average of 261.3 net passing yards per game in 2009.<br />

It was the first time in franchise history that the Packers had averaged<br />

250.0 net passing yards in back-to-back seasons.<br />

The Packers have had only 23 three-and-outs on 165 offensive possessions<br />

PLENTY OF 70-YARDERS<br />

On the Packers’ opening drive of the second half at Minnesota in <strong>Week</strong> 7,<br />

QB Aaron Rodgers connected with wide-open WR Greg Jennings for<br />

a 79-yard TD. For Rodgers, it was his third straight game with a TD pass<br />

of at least 70 yards.<br />

According to the Elias Sports Bureau, Rodgers became just the third<br />

quarterback since the 1970 AFL-<strong>NFL</strong> merger to throw a 70-yard<br />

TD pass in three consecutive games, joining Cowboys QB Craig Morton<br />

(Oct. 25-Nov. 8, 1970) and Saints QB Drew Brees (Dec. 12-26, 2004).<br />

Rodgers leads the <strong>NFL</strong> with his four passes of 70-plus yards this<br />

season, and his 10 <strong>com</strong>pletions of 70-plus yards since taking over as<br />

the starter in 2008 also lead the <strong>NFL</strong>:<br />

THE PACKERS-LIONS SERIES<br />

No other <strong>NFL</strong> teams have played every year since 1932, when the<br />

Packers first met the Lions, then known as the Portsmouth (Ohio)<br />

Spartans. Including a pair of playoff clashes in the early 1990s, this<br />

week marks <strong>Game</strong> No. 164 in the all-time series.<br />

Green Bay has scored more points (3,413 in reg. season) against the<br />

Lions than any other franchise.<br />

The Packers have won 20 straight games over <strong>Detroit</strong> in Wisconsin,<br />

including the ’94 playoffs. The streak spans eight Lions head coaches:<br />

Wayne Fontes (1992-96), Bobby Ross (1997-99), Gary Moeller (2000),<br />

Marty Mornhinweg (2001-02), Steve Mariucci (2003-04), Dick Jauron<br />

LIONS AT PACKERS - WEEK <strong>17</strong><br />

AT THE HELM<br />

Having led Green Bay to the playoffs in three of his five seasons as head<br />

coach, Mike McCarthy joined Vince Lombardi and Mike Holmgren as the<br />

only coaches to guide the Packers to a Super Bowl win with a victory over<br />

Pittsburgh last season in Super Bowl XLV.<br />

McCarthy led the Packers to a Super Bowl win in his fifth season in<br />

Green Bay, the same point that Holmgren led the Packers for the first<br />

time to the <strong>NFL</strong> title game in 1996.<br />

McCarthy joined Pittsburgh’s Bill Cowher (2005) as the only Super Bowlwinning<br />

coaches to lead their respective teams to three road wins as the<br />

No. 6 seed in the postseason en route to a world title.<br />

The Packers’ 21-14 win at Chicago last season was their second NFC<br />

Championship <strong>Game</strong> appearance in four seasons, the only team in the<br />

conference to do so over that span.<br />

Including playoffs, McCarthy has a 67-35 record since taking over<br />

as head coach in 2006, a .657 winning percentage that ranks No. 3<br />

among current <strong>NFL</strong> head coaches (minimum 50 games):<br />

Since taking over as head coach in 2006, McCarthy has a 62-33 regularseason<br />

record (.653) and a 5-2 mark (.714) in the postseason.<br />

McCarthy’s .714 winning percentage in the playoffs is tied for No. 1<br />

among active <strong>NFL</strong> head coaches, matching the mark of Belichick (15-6)<br />

and Tomlin (5-2). McCarthy trails only the legendary Lombardi (9-1,<br />

.900) for the top postseason winning percentage in franchise annals.<br />

With the five postseason wins, McCarthy trails only Lombardi and<br />

SPREAD THE WEALTH<br />

The Packers made history last season with three wide receivers (Greg<br />

Jennings, Donald Driver and James Jones) each hitting the<br />

50-catch plateau for the first time in franchise history, and Green Bay has<br />

displayed another balanced aerial attack in 2011.<br />

All five of Green Bay’s wide receivers (Jennings, 67; Jordy Nelson,<br />

59; Driver, 35; Jones, 32; Randall Cobb, 25) have at least 25 catches.<br />

It marks the first time in franchise history that the Packers have<br />

had five different WRs catch at least 25 passes, topping the previous<br />

record of five WRs with 16-plus catches in 2007. The last <strong>NFL</strong> team to<br />

have five WRs with 25-plus catches each was the 1996 Atlanta Falcons.<br />

In the <strong>Week</strong> 4 victory over Denver, Jennings, Nelson, Driver and Jones<br />

all had TD catches, the first time in franchise history that four<br />

different wide receivers caught TD passes in the same game.<br />

The last time an <strong>NFL</strong> team had four different listed wide receivers catch<br />

touchdown passes in the same game was on Oct. 27, 1991, when the<br />

Houston Oilers’ foursome of Drew Hill, Haywood Jeffires, Ernest Givins<br />

and Tony Jones all caught TD passes against the Cincinnati Bengals.<br />

Green Bay had three different wideouts (Jennings, 103; Nelson, 91;<br />

Cobb, 75) hit the 75-yard mark against the Broncos in <strong>Week</strong> 4. The last<br />

time three Packers wide receivers ac<strong>com</strong>plished that feat came on Sept.<br />

23, 2007, <strong>vs</strong>. San Diego (Jennings, Driver, Jones).<br />

Jennings, Jones and Nelson have all had 90-plus receiving yards in one<br />

or more games this season, the sixth straight season that Green<br />

Bay has had three different WRs post 90-yard games on the season.<br />

Among the wide receivers, Nelson leads the way with 1,101 receiving<br />

yards with Jennings (949) and Jones (546) checking in behind him.<br />

With Driver (393) and Cobb (375) <strong>com</strong>ing in behind them, the Packers<br />

have five wide receivers with 300-plus yards for the first time in franchise<br />

history.<br />

The Packers’ wide receivers have accounted for 3,364 receiving yards<br />

this season, an average of 224.3 per game that leads the <strong>NFL</strong>, and a<br />

league-best 34 TD catches:<br />

reception of 70-plus yards by the Packers since 2008.<br />

Jennings and Nelson each have three 70-yard catches and Driver and<br />

Jones each have two over that span.<br />

1. Green Bay 10<br />

4. Arizona 7<br />

With Jones catching his seventh TD pass of the season on Sunday, he<br />

became the third Green Bay wide receiver (Nelson, Jennings) this season<br />

to do so. It is the first time in franchise history that Green Bay<br />

has had three wide receivers with seven-plus TD catches in a season.<br />

LIONS AT PACKERS - WEEK <strong>17</strong><br />

KEEPING THE CHAINS MOVING<br />

Green Bay’s offense utilized a strong finish in 2010 to finish in the top 10<br />

in the league on third down for the fourth straight season, and they have<br />

continued that efficiency again this season.<br />

Through <strong>Week</strong> 16, the Packers are converting at a 48.0-percent clip on<br />

third down:<br />

Team<br />

Third-Down Conversion Rate<br />

1. New Orleans 56.3 (112-199)<br />

2. Green Bay 48.0 (85-<strong>17</strong>7)<br />

3. San Diego 47.8 (96-201)<br />

4. New England 45.6 (83-182)<br />

5. Pittsburgh 45.6 (82-180)<br />

In the 42-34 season-opening win over the Saints, the Packers converted<br />

8-of-12 (66.7 percent) third-down opportunities.<br />

In <strong>Week</strong> 4, the Packers bested that effort by converting 9-of-13 thirddown<br />

chances <strong>vs</strong>. Denver. The 69.2 conversion rate was the best singlegame<br />

performance in the regular season since the Packers were successful<br />

on 71.4 percent of their opportunities (10-of-14) <strong>vs</strong>. Cleveland<br />

on Sept. 18, 2005.<br />

On third-and-medium (4-6 yards), the Packers check in at No. 6 in the<br />

league at 55.9 percent (19-of-34).<br />

Green Bay ranks No. 2 in the <strong>NFL</strong> on third-and-long (more than 6<br />

yards) at 40.0 percent (34-of-85).<br />

In the second half of the 2010 season, the Packers converted at a<br />

46.8-percent clip (52-of-111) on third down, helping them finish No. 8<br />

in the <strong>NFL</strong> at 41.5 percent after converting at a 35.1-percent rate in the<br />

first half of the season.<br />

2010 was the fourth straight season that the Packers finished in the top<br />

10 in the category, one of only four teams in the league to do so over<br />

that span (New Orleans, New England, Indianapolis).<br />

Over the past 22 regular-season games, the Packers have converted at<br />

a 50-percent-or-better clip on third down in 12 of those contests (11-1<br />

in those games).<br />

OB Aaron Rodgers ranks No. 2 in the <strong>NFL</strong> with a 113.3 passer<br />

rating this season on third down (see page 10 for more).<br />

since 2009:<br />

4. Green Bay 45.4 (273-601)<br />

5. Atlanta 44.2 (296-669)<br />

This week, the Packers will face a <strong>Detroit</strong> team that ranks No. 3 in the<br />

league in third-down defense at 31.6 percent (61-of-193).<br />

Green Bay has converted 51.8 percent (43-of-83) of its third-down<br />

opportunities at Lambeau Field this season.<br />

BIG-PLAY WAYS<br />

In his fourth <strong>NFL</strong> season, WR Jordy Nelson has posted career bests in<br />

every statistical category. Nelson leads the team and ranks No. 11 in the<br />

<strong>NFL</strong> with a career-high 1,101 receiving yards. He is No. 2 on the squad with<br />

a career-best 59 catches.<br />

Nelson paces the team with 12 TD grabs, which doubles his <strong>com</strong>bined<br />

six TD catches in his first three seasons in the league. He ranks No. 3 in<br />

the league in TD receptions.<br />

Nelson is just the eighth player in franchise history to post 12-plus TD<br />

catches in a season.<br />

In <strong>Week</strong> 6 <strong>vs</strong>. St. Louis, Nelson moved into a tie for the No. 2 spot<br />

in team history for the most 80-yard TD catches with the third of his<br />

career. WR Greg Jennings holds the career franchise mark with four.<br />

All three of those touchdown catches came over an eight-game span<br />

in the regular season (<strong>Week</strong> 16, 2010-<strong>Week</strong> 6, 2011). According to the<br />

Elias Sports Bureau, Nelson is the only <strong>NFL</strong> player since the 1970<br />

AFL-<strong>NFL</strong> merger to have three 80-yard TD catches over an eightgame<br />

span in the regular season.<br />

Nelson’s career-long 93-yard TD catch in <strong>Week</strong> 6 <strong>vs</strong>. St. Louis was the<br />

fourth-longest catch in franchise history.<br />

With two TD grabs of 80-plus yards this season, Nelson has tied the<br />

single-season franchise record held by Billy Howton (1952), Antonio<br />

Freeman (1998), Donald Driver (2002) and Jennings (2007).<br />

RODGERS ROLLING<br />

QB Aaron Rodgers has connected on 343-of-502 passes (68.3 percent)<br />

for 4,643 yards and a career-high 45 TDs with six INTs for a 122.5 passer<br />

rating this season.<br />

With the 45 TD passes, Rodgers has set the single-season franchise<br />

record (Brett Favre, 39, 1996). He matched the team record<br />

with a career-high five TD passes <strong>vs</strong>. Chicago on Sunday night.<br />

Rodgers has set a franchise record this season with 10 games with at<br />

least three TD passes (Favre, eight games, 1996). He is one of only three<br />

QBs in <strong>NFL</strong> history to have 10 or more games with three-plus TDs (Dan<br />

Marino, 1984; Tom Brady, 2007).<br />

Rodgers threw at least two TD passes in each of the first 13 games this<br />

season, a streak that was tied for the longest in <strong>NFL</strong> annals with Colts QB<br />

Peyton Manning (2004) and Brady (2010-11).<br />

Rodgers’ 4,643 passing yards are a franchise record (Lynn Dickey,<br />

4,458 in 1983). Rodgers now has two of the top three single-season<br />

passing yardage marks in franchise history (4,434 in 2009).<br />

passing mark in just the 13th game of the season (previous record was<br />

15 games). It is also tied for the second fastest to 4,000 yards in <strong>NFL</strong><br />

history behind only Saints QB Drew Brees (12 games in 2011).<br />

Rodgers joins Favre (five) as the only Green Bay quarterbacks to post<br />

2. Tom Brady, NE 3.27<br />

3. Tony Romo, DAL 3.22<br />

Rodgers posted a regular-season career-high 408 passing yards in<br />

Green Bay’s 49-23 win over Denver in <strong>Week</strong> 4. He became the first QB<br />

in team history to record two 400-yard passing games, and now has two<br />

of the top four single-game marks in franchise annals.<br />

Against Denver, Rodgers matched his career high with four TD passes<br />

and added a career-best two rushing TDs. He became the first QB in<br />

team history to post four passing TDs/two rushing TDs in a game.<br />

Even more noteworthy, Rodgers became the first quarterback in<br />

<strong>NFL</strong> history to register 400 passing yards/four passing TDs/two rushing<br />

TDs in a game, according to the Elias Sports Bureau.<br />

With two TD passes at Atlanta in <strong>Week</strong> 5, Rodgers hit the 100-TD mark<br />

as a starter. He ac<strong>com</strong>plished that feat in his 52nd career start, besting<br />

the previous franchise mark of 59 starts by Favre. Among active QBs,<br />

Rodgers tied with Cowboys QB Tony Romo for the fewest starts<br />

needed to hit the 100-TD mark as a starter.<br />

When he hit the 100-TD mark for his career, Rodgers had thrown just<br />

34 interceptions to that point, the fewest in <strong>NFL</strong> history by a player<br />

at the time he threw his 100th career TD pass, according to Elias:<br />

LIONS AT PACKERS - WEEK <strong>17</strong><br />

RACKING UP RATINGS<br />

QB Aaron Rodgers was the first <strong>NFL</strong> quarterback to start a season<br />

with 11 straight 110-rating games since the AFL-<strong>NFL</strong> merger in 1970. No<br />

other QB has done it in more than five games to begin a season.<br />

Rodgers’ 11 consecutive 110-rating games was also a single-season <strong>NFL</strong><br />

record, topping 49ers QB Steve Young’s mark of seven straight in 1994.<br />

No quarterback in team history has posted more than five straight<br />

110-rating games in a season, and Rodgers’ 12 total games with a 110-<br />

plus rating is a single-season team record, topping the previous mark of<br />

eight by Brett Favre in 2007.<br />

Rodgers posted a 100-plus passer rating in each of the first 12 games,<br />

a streak that topped the <strong>NFL</strong> single-season mark of nine set by<br />

Colts QB Peyton Manning in 2004.<br />

Rodgers is the first <strong>NFL</strong> quarterback to record a stretch of four (or<br />

more) straight 110-rating games in three straight seasons since the<br />

AFL-<strong>NFL</strong> merger in 1970. No other <strong>NFL</strong> signal-caller over the past 42<br />

seasons has ever posted four straight 110-rating games in back-to-back<br />

seasons, let alone three straight like Rodgers has registered.<br />

By posting at least six games with a 110-plus passer rating in each of<br />

the last three seasons, Rodgers joins Young (1992-94) as the only<br />

quarterbacks since the 1970 merger with at least six 110-rating<br />

games in three consecutive seasons.<br />

Including the postseason, Rodgers has recorded a 110-plus passer<br />

rating in 20 of his last 26 starts.<br />

With a 140.3 rating in <strong>Week</strong> 10 <strong>vs</strong>. Minnesota, Rodgers became just the<br />

second QB in <strong>NFL</strong> history to post three consecutive 140-plus rating<br />

games (min. 15 attempts) in a season. Rams QB Kurt Warner (1999)<br />

is the only other signal-caller to ac<strong>com</strong>plish the feat.<br />

TAKING HIS PLACE AMONG THE GAME’S BEST<br />

Rodgers surpassed the 1,500-attempt plateau for his career last season,<br />

the benchmark to qualify for passer rating in the <strong>NFL</strong> record book.<br />

Rodgers has <strong>com</strong>pleted 1,381-of-2,113 passes (65.4 percent) in his<br />

career for <strong>17</strong>,366 yards and 132 touchdowns with 38 interceptions for<br />

a 104.1 passer rating in the regular season, No. 1 in <strong>NFL</strong> history.<br />

Career Passer Rating<br />

1. Aaron Rodgers, GB 104.1<br />

2. Steve Young, TB/SF 96.8<br />

3. Tony Romo, DAL 96.8<br />

Rodgers is poised to be<strong>com</strong>e only the fourth quarterback in <strong>NFL</strong> history<br />

to register three straight 100-plus passer rating seasons. He would join<br />

Peyton Manning (2004-06), Young (1991-94) and Rivers (2008-10).<br />

Rodgers has thrown just 37 interceptions in his four seasons as a<br />

starter, a 1.8 interception percentage that leads the league over that<br />

span among quarterbacks with 50 or more starts.<br />

3. Aaron Rodgers, 2009 1.29 (7 INTs, 541 att.)<br />

If Rodgers finishes this season with seven or fewer INTs, he would<br />

be<strong>com</strong>e the first QB in <strong>NFL</strong> history to have two seasons with 500-<br />

plus passing attempts and seven or fewer interceptions.<br />

With 4,643 passing yards this season, Rodgers has brought his total in<br />

four seasons as a starter to <strong>17</strong>,037. That ranks No. 1 in <strong>NFL</strong> history<br />

for the most passing yards by a QB in his first four seasons as a starter,<br />

topping the previous mark held by Peyton Manning (16,418, 1998-2001).<br />

In 62 regular-season career starts, Rodgers has eclipsed the century<br />

mark in passer rating 38 times and recorded 22 games of 300-plus<br />

yards. His 28 games with a 100-plus passer rating in his first 50 starts<br />

set an <strong>NFL</strong> record among quarterbacks whose careers began since<br />

1970, topping the previous mark of 27 held by Dallas QB Tony Romo.<br />

Over the final seven games in 2010 (missed <strong>Week</strong> 15 at New England),<br />

Rodgers was No. 2 in the <strong>NFL</strong> with a 133.7 passer rating on third down,<br />

trailing only New England’s Tom Brady (136.3) over that span.<br />

In ’09, Rodgers ranked No. 1 in the <strong>NFL</strong> in passer rating on third down<br />

at 133.5. No other quarterback in the league threw for as many yards<br />

(1,710) or touchdowns (14) on third down as Rodgers, and his passer<br />

rating was the best in the <strong>NFL</strong> since Kurt Warner’s 137.3 rating in 1999<br />

with St. Louis.<br />

COOL UNDER FIRE<br />

QB Aaron Rodgers was one of the most effective passers in the league<br />

the past two seasons against the blitz, and that strong play has continued<br />

in 2011.<br />

According to STATS LLC, Rodgers posted a career-high (min. 10<br />

attempts) passer rating of 151.6 against the blitz (when a defender not<br />

lined up on the line of scrimmage rushes the QB, or more than four<br />

players rush the QB) in <strong>Week</strong> 1 <strong>vs</strong>. New Orleans.<br />

Rodgers connected on 14-of-18 passes (77.8 percent) for 207 yards<br />

and two TDs against the Saints. The 151.6 rating topped his previous<br />

personal best of 130.4 at Minnesota on Nov. 21, 2010.<br />

The 151.6 rating was the third-best one by a Green Bay QB since 1993<br />

(min. 10 attempts), according to STATS, trailing only Brett Favre’s 158.3<br />

rating at Oakland (Dec. 22, 2003) and his 155.9 rating at Carolina (Sept.<br />

27, 1998).<br />

Rodgers posted a 155.8 rating in <strong>Week</strong> 5 at Atlanta (8-of-9, 168 yards,<br />

TD), but fell one attempt short of the required 10 attempts to qualify.<br />

In 2011, Rodgers ranks No. 1 in the <strong>NFL</strong> against the blitz with a 131.4<br />

passer rating (85-of-125, 1,500 yards, 11 TDs, two INTs).<br />

According to STATS LLC, the best season by an <strong>NFL</strong> quarterback against<br />

the blitz (since 1993) was registered by Colts QB Peyton Manning (136.8<br />

rating in 2004).<br />

Rodgers ranked No. 1 in the league last season (min. 100 attempts)<br />

with a 104.5 passer rating against the blitz, <strong>com</strong>pleting 111-of-167<br />

attempts (66.5 percent) for 1,503 yards and 11 TDs with five INTs.<br />

In 2009, Rodgers ranked No. 2 in the <strong>NFL</strong> with a 112.7 rating, just a<br />

shade below Saints QB Drew Brees’ 112.9 mark. Rodgers threw for<br />

1,699 yards and 11 TDs with three INTs on 125-of-180 passing.<br />

Rodgers ranks No. 1 in the league with a 114.7 passer rating against<br />

the blitz since 2009. He ranks No. 1 in yards per attempt (9.96) and<br />

tied for No. 3 in TDs (33) over that span.<br />

IN THE ZONE<br />

This season, Rodgers ranks No. 1 in the <strong>NFL</strong> (min. 50 attempts) with a<br />

107.0 passer rating in the red zone. He ranks No. 1 in the league with<br />

29 TD passes and hadn’t thrown an interception all season until <strong>Week</strong> 14<br />

Crosby ranks No. 4 among kickers this season with 131 points and No.<br />

5 in the league with 44 touchbacks.<br />

Crosby joins Ryan Longwell (eight seasons) as the only players in franchise<br />

Crosby has connected on 23-of-26 field-goal attempts this season, an<br />

88.5 percentage that ranks No. 6 in the <strong>NFL</strong>.<br />

It wasn’t the only franchise mark that Crosby set in <strong>Week</strong> 7 at Minnesota.<br />

He drilled a 58-yard field goal in the third quarter, the longest field goal<br />

in team history.<br />

Crosby’s 58-yard FG at Minnesota in <strong>Week</strong> 7 topped the previous franchise<br />

mark of 56 yards he set at Philadelphia in 2010 and earlier this<br />

season in Atlanta in <strong>Week</strong> 5.<br />

Crosby is the only kicker in the <strong>NFL</strong> with three field goals of 56 or more<br />

yards since 2010.<br />

FINDING FINLEY<br />

Through the first four games last season, TE Jermichael Finley<br />

appeared poised to set franchise records for receptions and receiving<br />

yards by a tight end before he sustained a season-ending knee injury.<br />

In 2011, a healthy Finley has picked up where he left off last season,<br />

ranking No. 3 on the team with 48 receptions for a career-high 703 yards<br />

(14.6 avg.) and seven TDs. With the seven TDs, Finley has topped his<br />

career high (five in 2009) and is tied for No. 3 among <strong>NFL</strong> tight ends<br />

this season:<br />

Three of those scores came at Chicago in <strong>Week</strong> 3 as Finley became<br />

just the second tight end in franchise history to catch three TD<br />

passes in a game. He joined Keith Jackson, who ac<strong>com</strong>plished the feat<br />

on Sept. 1, 1996, at Tampa Bay.<br />

Finley was also the first <strong>NFL</strong> tight end to post a three-TD game since<br />

Gronkowski did so in <strong>Week</strong> 10 last season. Finley is the only TE with a<br />

three-TD game this season.<br />

By hitting the 600-yard receiving mark this season, Finley became just the<br />

second tight end in franchise history (Paul Coffman) to post two<br />

600-yard seasons in his career. Finley’s yardage total this season ranks No.<br />

PRODUCTION APLENTY INSIDE THE 20<br />

Green Bay had one of the most efficient red-zone offenses in the league<br />

in 2010, and the Packers are on their way to another solid ranking this<br />

season.<br />

Through <strong>Week</strong> 16, the Packers rank No. 2 in the <strong>NFL</strong> in red-zone<br />

1. N.Y. Jets 66.7<br />

2. Green Bay 65.1<br />

3. New England 64.2<br />

4. <strong>Detroit</strong> 62.7<br />

In their last eight games, the Packers have scored TDs on 25-of-35 trips<br />

to the red zone (71.4 percent).<br />

Green Bay has scored points on 59 of its 63 red-zone trips this season:<br />

4. Baltimore 89.6<br />

In 2010, Green Bay ranked No. 6 in the league with a touchdown<br />

efficiency of 60.4 percent in the red zone. That was the Packers’ best<br />

conversion rate since finishing No. 2 in the <strong>NFL</strong> at 65.4 percent in 2003.<br />

It marked the third straight top-10 finish in the category for the Packers,<br />

as they checked in at No. 9 in 2009 (54.8) and No. 6 in 2008 (60.4).<br />

Of the Packers’ four best TD-efficiency marks in the red zone since 1995,<br />

3t. 2008 60.4 (29-48)<br />

Green Bay was the only team in the NFC and one of three teams in the<br />

<strong>NFL</strong> (Indianapolis and Tennessee) to finish in the top 10 in red-zone<br />

efficiency each year from 2008-10.<br />

OUTSIDE THE ZONE<br />

In addition to their red-zone success, the Packers have also displayed a<br />

high level of production outside that area.<br />

Through <strong>Week</strong> 16, the Packers rank No. 2 in the league in scoring<br />

outside the red zone:<br />

2. Green Bay 126<br />

3. Dallas 123<br />

4. San Diego 120<br />

5. Denver 119<br />

In 2010, the Packers were tied for No. 14 in the league with 100 points<br />

outside the red zone on the season. Green Bay’s best mark since 1995<br />

came in 2007, when the team scored 150 points outside the red zone.<br />

Green Bay is tied for the league lead in touchdowns outside the red<br />

DYNAMIC DEBUT<br />

Rookie WR Randall Cobb made a splash in his pro debut <strong>vs</strong>. New<br />

Orleans with a 108-yard kickoff return for a TD that matched the <strong>NFL</strong><br />

record, and he has continued to be a threat on both kickoffs and punts.<br />

Through <strong>Week</strong> 16, Cobb checks among the league leaders in both categories.<br />

He ranks No. 1 in kickoff return average and No. 2 in punt return<br />

average among <strong>NFL</strong> rookies:<br />

Cobb posted an 80-yard punt return for a TD <strong>vs</strong>. Minnesota in <strong>Week</strong><br />

10, be<strong>com</strong>ing the first rookie in team history to post a punt return for<br />

a TD and a kickoff return for a TD in the same season. He also became<br />

the first player in team history and the first <strong>NFL</strong> rookie since the<br />

merger to register a 100-yard kickoff return and an 80-yard punt return<br />

in the same season.<br />

Cobb added a 55-yard kickoff return in the third quarter against the<br />

Vikings to be<strong>com</strong>e the first Packer since Travis Williams (at Pittsburgh,<br />

Nov. 2, 1969) to post an 80-yard PR and a 55-yard KR in the same game.<br />

Cobb is tied for No. 3 in the league this season in total kick return TDs:<br />

According to the Elias Sports Bureau, Cobb became just the second<br />

<strong>NFL</strong> player to register a touchdown reception and a kickoff return for<br />

a score in his pro debut, joining <strong>Detroit</strong>’s Bill Bowman (9-yard reception,<br />

100-yard kickoff return, <strong>vs</strong>. Chicago on Sept. 26, 1954).<br />

Cobb also joins Williams and Robert Brooks as the only players in franchise<br />

history to register a receiving touchdown, a punt return for a TD<br />

and a kickoff return for a score in the same season.<br />

With a 55-yard punt return <strong>vs</strong>. Tampa Bay in <strong>Week</strong> 11, Cobb became the<br />

first Packer since Billy Grimes in 1950 to record a punt return of 55-plus<br />

yards in back-to-back games.<br />

LIONS AT PACKERS - WEEK <strong>17</strong><br />

THE PRODUCTION CONTINUES<br />

CB Charles Woodson enjoyed the finest season of his career in 2009,<br />

his first year in the 3-4 scheme, and has continued to make his presence<br />

felt ever since.<br />

Through <strong>Week</strong> 16, Woodson is tied for No. 1 in the <strong>NFL</strong> with seven<br />

interceptions.<br />

This is Woodson's fourth season with seven-plus INTs as a Packer. He<br />

joins Bobby Dillon as the only players in franchise history to ac<strong>com</strong>plish<br />

that feat and is the only <strong>NFL</strong> player to have four seven-plus INT<br />

seasons since 2006.<br />

In the <strong>Week</strong> 7 win at Minnesota, he intercepted QB Christian Ponder two<br />

times on the afternoon, Woodson's sixth multi-INT game in a Green Bay<br />

uniform.<br />

Woodson has now returned an INT for a touchdown in six straight<br />

seasons (2006-11), be<strong>com</strong>ing the first player in <strong>NFL</strong> history to do<br />

so. No other <strong>NFL</strong> player has ac<strong>com</strong>plished the feat in more than four<br />

consecutive seasons.<br />

Woodson’s nine interceptions for TDs since 2006 rank No. 1 in the<br />

league over that span, more than double the total of the nine players tied<br />

for the No. 2 spot with four each.<br />

Woodson’s nine interception TDs over the past six seasons (2006-11)<br />

are tied for the most by a player over a six-year period in <strong>NFL</strong> history,<br />

matching the mark of Houston Oilers safety Ken Houston, who actually<br />

recorded nine INT touchdowns over a five-year period (1967-71).<br />

With his first INT for a TD <strong>com</strong>ing in his rookie season of 1998, the<br />

time from Woodson’s first INT TD to his most recent spans 14 seasons<br />

(1998-2011). That ranks tied for No. 3 in <strong>NFL</strong> history behind only Rod<br />

Woodson (1987-2002) and Deion Sanders (1990-2004), according to<br />

the Elias Sports Bureau.<br />

His INT return for a score against the Broncos was his ninth career with<br />

the Packers, further extending his franchise record. Adderley ranks No.<br />

2 in team annals (seven, 1961-69)<br />

It was also Woodson’s 10th defensive TD (nine INTs, one fumble return)<br />

in a Green Bay uniform, which further extended his franchise mark.<br />

He led the Packers with a career-high five forced fumbles in 2010. He<br />

was the only defensive back in the <strong>NFL</strong> to register four forced<br />

fumbles each season in 2009 and 2010.<br />

Woodson is the only Packers defensive back since 1994 to record four<br />

forced fumbles in a season, and he has done it twice.<br />

Woodson achieved the highest individual honor bestowed upon a defensive<br />

player, taking home The Associated Press Defensive Player of the<br />

Year award in 2009. He also was named an AP first-team All-Pro.<br />

Woodson’s INT return for a TD in <strong>Week</strong> 4 last season against the Lions<br />

was the third straight year that he had returned an INT for a TD against<br />

<strong>Detroit</strong>. He became the first player in <strong>NFL</strong> history to return an interception<br />

for a TD in three consecutive seasons against the same team.<br />

Woodson has registered two sacks in 2011, his fourth straight season<br />

with two-plus sacks. He is the first defensive back in franchise<br />

history (since 1982) to ac<strong>com</strong>plish that feat.<br />

In 2009, Woodson became the fourth player in <strong>NFL</strong> history since sacks<br />

became an official statistic to record at least nine interceptions and two<br />

sacks in a single season.<br />

There’s no doubt Woodson’s career has undergone a revitalization since<br />

<strong>com</strong>ing to Green Bay. He now has 54 career interceptions, which is<br />

second among active <strong>NFL</strong> players. Of his interceptions, 37 have <strong>com</strong>e<br />

in 93 games with Green Bay. In 106 games with the Raiders, he had <strong>17</strong>.<br />

PICKING PACK<br />

For the sixth straight season, Green Bay finds itself in familiar territory<br />

Through <strong>Week</strong> 16, the Packers check in among the league leaders in all<br />

three interception categories:<br />

The Packers have finished in the top six in the league in INTs every<br />

season under Head Coach Mike McCarthy. Last season, Green Bay<br />

checked in at No. 2 with 24 interceptions, and in 2009, the Packers led<br />

the league with 30 interceptions.<br />

Green Bay is the only team in the league to have six players with<br />

three or more interceptions this season. The last time the Packers had<br />

six or more players each post three-plus INTs was 1981 (seven players).<br />

The Packers’ two INTs for touchdowns in <strong>Week</strong> 9 at San Diego gave<br />

them three for the season, their franchise-record fourth straight season<br />

recording at least three interception returns for TDs.<br />

The last <strong>NFL</strong> team to register four straight seasons with at least three INT<br />

returns for TDs was the Los Angeles Rams from 1983-86.<br />

KEEPING THEM OUT<br />

Since 2010, the Packers have been one of the best defenses in the league<br />

when it <strong>com</strong>es to keeping their opponents out of the end zone.<br />

The Packers ranked No. 2 in the league in scoring defense last season,<br />

allowing the opposition an average of just 15.0 points per game, as<br />

they trailed only Pittsburgh (14.5) in the category. This season, Green<br />

Bay is tied for No. 12 in the <strong>NFL</strong> in scoring defense (21.2).<br />

Since 2010, Green Bay ranks No. 4 in the league in scoring defense<br />

at 18.0 points per game:<br />

Team<br />

2. Baltimore 16.8<br />

3. San Francisco <strong>17</strong>.7<br />

4. Green Bay 18.0<br />

5t. Atlanta, Chicago 19.8<br />

Including last year’s playoffs, the Packers have allowed <strong>17</strong> or fewer<br />

points in <strong>17</strong> of their last 35 games (15-2 record in those contests).<br />

Green Bay allowed just 24 TDs last season, the fewest by the Packers<br />

since 19 in 1996, and that total was No. 2 in the <strong>NFL</strong> behind only the<br />

Steelers (22).<br />

STIFLING SIGNAL-CALLERS<br />

Over the past two seasons, no defense has been better than the Packers<br />

when it <strong>com</strong>es to opponent passer rating.<br />

Since 2010, opposing quarterbacks have <strong>com</strong>pleted 650-of-1,105 passes<br />

for 7,401 yards and 40 touchdowns with 53 interceptions against the<br />

Packers. The 73.0 passer rating registered by opposing signal-callers<br />

ranks No. 1 in the <strong>NFL</strong> over that span:<br />

5. Chicago 78.4<br />

This season, oppposing quarterbacks have recorded a passer rating of<br />

78.3 against the Packers, which ranks No. 8 in the league.<br />

With the opponent passer rating of 78.3 and Green Bay’s offensive<br />

passer rating of 120.9, the Packers rank No. 1 in the league in<br />

LIONS AT PACKERS - WEEK <strong>17</strong><br />

MAKING THEM PAY AFTER TAKING IT AWAY<br />

The Packers were one of the most productive teams in the league from<br />

2008-10 when it came to converting turnovers into points, and they have<br />

picked up where they left off once again this season.<br />

Through <strong>Week</strong> 16, Green Bay ranks No. 4 in the <strong>NFL</strong> in takeaway points:<br />

2. Buffalo 127<br />

3. Houston 113<br />

5. New England 104<br />

Since 2008, the Packers have scored 487 points off of takeaways, the<br />

most in the <strong>NFL</strong> over that span.<br />

The Packers have been productive at Lambeau Field, having scored<br />

points off a turnover in 20 of their last 25 home games.<br />

Green Bay finished No. 5 in the <strong>NFL</strong> with 111 points off of takeaways<br />

last season, the Packers’ third straight top-5 ranking in the category. The<br />

Packers were the only team in the <strong>NFL</strong> to finish in the top 5 in points<br />

off of takeaways each season from 2008-10.<br />

The Packers have either won the turnover battle or <strong>com</strong>e out even in the<br />

category in every game this season. Green Bay ranks No. 2 in the<br />

league this season with a plus-22 turnover differential.<br />

3. San Diego plus-36<br />

The Packers posted a plus-10 turnover ratio on the season in 2010 (No.<br />

4 in <strong>NFL</strong>).<br />

The Packers have posted at least three INTs for TDs in each of the last<br />

four seasons. That is the first time in franchise history that Green Bay<br />

has ac<strong>com</strong>plished that feat. The Packers have posted at least three INTs<br />

for TDs in five of six seasons under Head Coach Mike McCarthy.<br />

Green Bay posted 30 INTs and 10 fumble recoveries in 2009, which<br />

it turned into 141 points. The 40 takeaways led the <strong>NFL</strong>, and the 141<br />

points scored off those takeaways tied New Orleans for most in the <strong>NFL</strong>.<br />

The 30 interceptions led the league and was the team’s highest singleseason<br />

total since 1981, when it also had 30.<br />

During McCarthy’s tenure, the Packers have a 47-6 (.887) regularseason<br />

record when they <strong>com</strong>e out ahead in the game in turnover ratio,<br />

and a 6-20 (.231) record when they lose the takeaway battle. Under<br />

FEW FLAGS<br />

One area of emphasis for the Packers last season was reducing penalties,<br />

and that focus has continued to pay dividends in 2011.<br />

Through <strong>Week</strong> 16, Green Bay has been penalized just 70 times for 511<br />

In 2010, the Packers tied for No. 3 in the league with just 78 accepted<br />

penalties (4.9 per game), the fewest by a Green Bay team since the<br />

league went to a 16-game schedule in 1978. The previous low was 80<br />

penalties in both 1983 and 2001.<br />

That was a 40-penalty drop from 2009, when the Packers were the mostpenalized<br />

team in the league with 118 accepted penalties.<br />

Green Bay was not whistled for a penalty <strong>vs</strong>. Chicago on Sunday night,<br />

the first time they were not penalized in a game since Nov. 25, 1990, <strong>vs</strong><br />

Tampa Bay in Milwaukee.<br />

The Packers’ best mark for the fewest penalty yards in a 16-game season<br />

came in 1995 (604 yards).<br />

Green Bay’s defense ranks No. 1 in the league in fewest penalty yards<br />

(132) and the offense ranks No. 4 in the <strong>NFL</strong> in fewest penalty yards<br />

(283) this season.<br />

According to STATS LLC, the Packers’ best mark since 1995 as far as<br />

fewest defensive penalty yards came in 2000 (169 yards).<br />

LIONS AT PACKERS - WEEK <strong>17</strong><br />

NOT IN A GIVING MOOD<br />

The Packers have always prided themselves on their ability to take care of<br />

the football, an emphasis that has helped place them among the league<br />

leaders once again in the category three quarters of the way into the season.<br />

The franchise record for the fewest giveaways in a season is 16 in 2009,<br />

Their 22 giveaways in 2010 brought the Packers’ three-year total (2008-<br />

the Packers since the <strong>NFL</strong> went to a 16-game schedule in 1978, besting<br />

the previous mark of 67 from 1994-96.<br />

When the Packers have turned the ball over the past two seasons, the<br />

defense has helped limit opponent scoring following those giveaways.<br />

The Packers’ average of 1.77 points off of giveaways last season was the<br />

Packers have a 28-7 (.800) record.<br />

If the Packers don’t <strong>com</strong>mit a turnover, they’re almost guaranteed to<br />

win. They are 48-5 (.906) regular-season games playing turnover-free<br />

football since a loss at Dallas, Nov. 18, 1996. Green Bay’s only losses<br />

in such games during that stretch came three times against Minnesota,<br />

BREAKING DOWN THE 53<br />

It’s a balanced roster for the Packers, which holds 25 offensive players, 25<br />

defensive players and three specialists.<br />

Of the 53 players on Green Bay’s roster, 30 of them (56.6 percent) were<br />

drafted by the Packers.<br />

With nine non-drafted free agents on the roster having started their <strong>NFL</strong><br />

career with Green Bay, 39 of the 53 players (73.6 percent) began their<br />

pro career with the Packers. For 46 of the 53 (86.8 percent) players, the<br />

only team they have played for in the regular season is Green Bay.<br />

Seven of the team’s draft picks from 2011 made the opening-day roster,<br />

and for the second straight season, so did three non-drafted free agents<br />

(S M.D. Jennings, LB Jamari Lattimore and LB Vic So’oto). A<br />

pair of non-drafted rookies, G/T Ray Dominguez and RB Brandon<br />

Saine, have been elevated to the practice squad during the season.<br />

Nearly 60 percent of the players (31) on Green Bay’s roster entered the<br />

league as a sixth-round or seventh-round pick or as an undrafted player.<br />

Of the 53 players on the roster, 45 of them (84.9 percent) are 28 years<br />

old or younger.<br />

For the sixth straight season, the Packers’ roster was one of the five<br />

youngest teams in the league (based on Kickoff <strong>Week</strong>end rosters). This<br />

season, Green Bay checked in tied for No. 3 with an average age of<br />

MATTHEWS MAKES HIS WAY TO THE QUARTERBACK<br />

LB Clay Matthews has been one of the most productive players in the<br />

<strong>NFL</strong> since he entered the league in 2009 when it <strong>com</strong>es to getting after the<br />

quarterback.<br />

Matthews has registered 29.5 sacks since 2009, which is tied for No. 8<br />

in the league over that span.<br />

Matthews’ six sacks this season lead the team. He paced the defense in<br />

sacks each of his first two seasons (2009-10) in Green Bay.<br />

While Matthews doesn’t rank among the league leaders in sacks this<br />

season, he has continued to provide consistent pressure on opposing<br />

signal-callers.<br />

According to STATS LLC, Matthews is tied for No. 2 in the league in<br />

<strong>com</strong>bined quarterback knockdowns and hurries this season (stats are<br />

through <strong>Week</strong> 15 since they are updated on Wednesdays):<br />

4. Jason Babin, PHI 33.5 (26.0/7.5)<br />

5. Julius Peppers, CHI 33.0 (13.0/20.0)<br />

When Matthews intercepted Giants QB Eli Manning at New York in <strong>Week</strong><br />

13 and returned the pick 38 yards for a score, it marked the third straight<br />

season that Matthews had scored a defensive TD.<br />

By doing so, Matthews became the first player in franchise history<br />

to score a defensive TD (interception or fumble return) in each of his<br />

first three seasons in the league.<br />

Matthews is one of only two <strong>NFL</strong> linebackers (Miami LB Kevin Burnett)<br />

to record an interception for a score each of the past two seasons.<br />

Matthews has posted a career-high three interceptions this season. It<br />

is tied for the most in a season by a Green Bay linebacker since 1984.<br />

Matthews was named to his second straight Pro Bowl last season and<br />

was named <strong>NFL</strong> Defensive MVP by Pro Football <strong>Week</strong>ly/PFWA. He also<br />

earned NFC Defensive Player of the Year recognition from Sporting<br />

News and the Committee of 101.<br />

He received first-team All-Pro honors from The Associated Press,<br />

the first Packer LB to earn that recognition since Tim Harris in 1989.<br />

Matthews finished second to only Pittsburgh S Troy Polamalu in the AP<br />

Defensive Player of the Year voting.<br />

With a sack of QB Jon Kitna in the second quarter in <strong>Week</strong> 9 last season<br />

against Dallas, Matthews became the first Packer since the stat became<br />

official in 1982 to register a double-digit sack total in each of his first<br />

two seasons in the <strong>NFL</strong>.<br />

According to the Elias Sports Bureau, Matthews became the first <strong>NFL</strong><br />

player since sacks became an official statistic in 1982 to register<br />

double-digit sacks and a defensive TD in each of his first two seasons<br />

in the <strong>NFL</strong>.<br />

With two sacks of Falcons QB Matt Ryan in the Divisional contest last<br />

season, Matthews became the first player in team history (since<br />

1982) to post at least one sack in each of his first three career postseason<br />

games. With 4.5 career sacks in the postseason, Matthews already<br />

ranks No. 2 in team playoff annals behind only DE Reggie White (eight).<br />

Matthews’ 3.5 sacks last postseason were the most in franchise history<br />

(since 1982) in a single postseason.<br />

LIONS AT PACKERS - WEEK <strong>17</strong><br />

<strong>17</strong><br />

Matthews has posted two or more sacks in a game six times in his<br />

career. Five of those two-sack games came in Matthews’ first 18 games<br />

in a Packers uniform, breaking White’s franchise mark of four in his first<br />

18 games with Green Bay (1993-94).<br />

In 2009, Matthews set a Packers rookie record with 10 sacks on his way<br />

to earning Pro Bowl honors, the first Green Bay rookie to be named to<br />

the all-star game since Hall of Fame WR James Lofton in 1978.<br />

With one game remaining in his third season, Matthews is tied for No. 1<br />

in team history (since 1982) for the most sacks by a Packer in his first<br />

three seasons in the <strong>NFL</strong>:<br />

SHARING THE SCORING<br />

When three different Packers scored their first touchdowns of the 2011<br />

season in <strong>Week</strong> 14 <strong>vs</strong>. Oakland, it brought Green Bay’s total number of<br />

players with a TD this season to 19.<br />

With 19 players scoring TDs this season, the Packers set a singleseason<br />

Green Bay’s total is two shy of the single-season <strong>NFL</strong> record of 21, a<br />

number posted by several teams, most recently by New England in<br />

2007.<br />

Six Green Bay players have scored at least five TDs this season, the second<br />

most of the most of any team in the <strong>NFL</strong> behind only New Orleans<br />

(seven players).<br />

It marks the second time in franchise history that the Packers have<br />

ac<strong>com</strong>plished that feat. The only other season that saw Green Bay have<br />

six players each score five-plus TDs was 1984 (also six).<br />

LIONS AT PACKERS - WEEK <strong>17</strong><br />

OUT OF THE BREAK<br />

For the second straight season, the Packers have been one of the most<br />

productive teams in the league in the third quarter of games.<br />

In 15 contests this season, the Packers have outscored their opponents<br />

143-51 in the third quarter, a 92-point differential that ranks No. 1 in<br />

the league:<br />

5. San Diego +48 (109-61)<br />

In 2010, Green Bay finished No. 2 in the <strong>NFL</strong> in third-quarter scoring differential<br />

at plus-74, outscoring its opponents 110-36. That trailed only<br />

San Diego, who posted a 76-point margin (107-31) in the third quarter.<br />

The Packers have been efficient on their opening drives in the second<br />

half, scoring seven touchdowns and two field goals this season:<br />

In those seven games, Green Bay has scored a TD on the opening<br />

possession of the second half four times (at Carolina, at Minnesota, <strong>vs</strong>.<br />

Minnesota, at <strong>Detroit</strong>) and scored once on a field goal (at San Diego).<br />

Green Bay tied for No. 7 in the <strong>NFL</strong> in 2010 with 37 points on the opening<br />

possession of the second half, which topped the Packers’ mark of 20<br />

points in 2009 (No. 20 in the <strong>NFL</strong>).<br />

The high mark by the Packers since 1995 (according to STATS LLC)<br />

came in 2004, when they led the league with 55 points<br />

STARTING AND CLOSING<br />

Green Bay has been efficient starting games this season as well, scoring<br />

59 points on game-opening drives. That total ranks No. 1 in the <strong>NFL</strong> and<br />

more than doubles the Packers’ 23-point output in 2010:<br />

The Packers have posted 58 points in the final two minutes of the first<br />

TRAMON TAKES IT AWAY<br />

After getting off to a slow start when it <strong>com</strong>es to interceptions early this<br />

season, CB Tramon Williams has made his presence in the second half.<br />

Williams posted an INT in three straight games (<strong>Week</strong>s 9-11), only the<br />

second time in his career that he had ac<strong>com</strong>plished that feat. That included<br />

a regular-season career-high two INTs <strong>vs</strong>. Tampa Bay in <strong>Week</strong> 11.<br />

His four INTs over that span was a career-high for a three-game stretch.<br />

Williams is the only undrafted player in the league to record at least four<br />

INTs in each of the past four seasons (2008-11).<br />

In Green Bay’s <strong>Week</strong> 9 win at San Diego, Williams posted the first TD<br />

of his career in the regular season on a 43-yard INT return for a score.<br />

Williams led the team in INTs last season with a career-high six picks,<br />

and added three more during the 2010 postseason.<br />

Including playoffs, Williams ranks No. 1 in the <strong>NFL</strong> in both interceptions<br />

and interception return yards since 2010:<br />

MASTERFUL PERFORMANCES<br />

P Tim Masthay hasn’t had many opportunities to punt the ball this season,<br />

but he has made the most of his chances of late.<br />

At Kansas City in <strong>Week</strong> 15, Masthay posted career highs (min. four<br />

attempts) in gross average (53.4) and net average (46.2). He boomed<br />

a career-long 71-yard punt, the longest by a Packer since Jon Ryan’s<br />

72-yarder <strong>vs</strong>. <strong>Detroit</strong> on Dec. 30, 2007. The gross average ranks No.<br />

4 in team annals and the net average checks in at No. 3 (since 1976).<br />

In <strong>Week</strong> 13 at the N.Y. Giants, Masthay placed four punts inside the<br />

20-yard line, the second straight week he had done so. He earned NFC<br />

Special Teams Player of the <strong>Week</strong> honors for the performance against<br />

New York, the second straight season he won the award after an outing<br />

at MetLife Stadium (<strong>Week</strong> 8 at N.Y. Jets in 2010).<br />

Masthay became the first Green Bay punter to post four punts<br />

inside the 20-yard line in consecutive games since the statistic<br />

began to be recorded in 1976.<br />

In <strong>Week</strong> 7 at Minnesota, Masthay only punted three times, but he registered<br />

a gross average of 59.3 and a net average of 55.3.<br />

His 59.3-yard gross average was the best by a Green Bay punter with<br />

three or more attempts since Don Chandler registered a 59.7-yard average<br />

on three punts <strong>vs</strong>. San Francisco on Oct. 10, 1965.<br />

Masthay’s 55.3-yard net average at Minnesota in <strong>Week</strong> 7 was the best<br />

by a Packers punter with three or more attempts since the <strong>NFL</strong><br />

began tracking net punting average in 1976. It also the third best by an<br />

<strong>NFL</strong> punter in a game (min. three attempts) since 1976.<br />

Over the past 10 games, Masthay has posted a gross average of 48.2<br />

yards and a net average of 41.8. He has placed half of his punts (<strong>17</strong>-of-<br />

34) inside the 20-yard line over that span.<br />

The Packers have punted just 51 times in 15 games this season. The<br />

franchise record for the fewest punts by Green Bay since the <strong>NFL</strong> went<br />

to a 16-game schedule in 1978 was 62 punts in 2007.<br />

Masthay has a gross punting average of 45.7 this season. The best mark<br />

in franchise history is a 45.0-yard average by Craig Hentrich (1997).<br />

300 AND COUNTING<br />

Another packed house at Lambeau Field against the Bears on Sunday<br />

brought the stadium’s consecutive sellouts streak to 300 games (284<br />

regular season, 16 playoffs).<br />

The <strong>Week</strong> 7 crowd in 2010 of 71,107 <strong>vs</strong>. Minnesota was the third-largest<br />

regular-season crowd in Lambeau Field history.<br />

The league’s longest-tenured stadium, Lambeau Field is hosting its 55th<br />

season of football this year. A total of 566,362 fans made their way<br />

through the turnstiles in the eight home contests in 2010.<br />

Across American professional sports, only Boston’s Fenway Park (1912)<br />

and Chicago’s Wrigley Field (1914) have longer tenures.<br />

THE LAMBEAU ADVANTAGE<br />

The crown jewel of the National Football League, Lambeau Field has long<br />

been known as one of the tougher venues to play in, particularly during the<br />

harsh Wisconsin winter.<br />

Re-establishing home-field advantage after a 4-4 mark in 2008 was one<br />

of the goals of 2009, and with the Packers finishing 6-2 at home, they<br />

ac<strong>com</strong>plished that goal. Green Bay followed that up with a 7-1 mark at<br />

Lambeau Field in 2010.<br />

Head Coach Mike McCarthy stated consistently upon his arrival in<br />

Green Bay that one of the team’s goals would be to reclaim the mystique<br />

of playing at Lambeau Field. Mission ac<strong>com</strong>plished. The team is 33-8<br />

(.805) at home over the past 41 regular-season games, good for No. 2<br />

in the <strong>NFL</strong> over that span behind only New England (36-4, .900).<br />

Since Ron Wolf and Mike Holmgren began the revitalization of the<br />

franchise in 1992, Green Bay owns the best home record in the <strong>NFL</strong>. A<br />

look at the top regular-season home W-L records since the ’92 season:<br />

HOME COOKING<br />

The Packers’ win over Dallas at Lambeau in November 2009 was the first<br />

step to a 7-1 finish and a playoff berth for Green Bay.<br />

Since that <strong>Week</strong> 10 victory over the Cowboys in ’09, the Packers have<br />

been the best team in the league at home. Green Bay’s lone defeat since<br />

then came to Miami last season in <strong>Week</strong> 6 when the Packers fell to the<br />

Dolphins in overtime.<br />

IN THE FREE-AGENCY ERA<br />

Talk of unrestricted free agency in the early ’90s led many to forecast tough<br />

times for the small-town Green Bay Packers.<br />

However, Green Bay has remained among the most successful teams<br />

since the advent of free agency in 1993. The Packers have won 10 or<br />

more games 10 times since ’93 and captured seven division crowns.<br />

GREEN BAY 42, NEW ORLEANS 34<br />

GREEN BAY, Wis. -- A Super Bowl hangover and the <strong>NFL</strong> lockout weren’t about to slow down Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers. The<br />

New Orleans Saints just couldn’t keep up.<br />

Rodgers came out on top in a memorable opening-night duel with Drew Brees, and the Packers made a goal-line stand on the final play of the<br />

game to beat the Saints 42-34 on Thursday night.<br />

With the Saints on the 1-yard line, Clay Matthews and safety Morgan Burnett led a swarm of Packers defenders who stopped Saints rookie running<br />

back Mark Ingram short of the goal line.<br />

Rodgers and Brees had big games, but Packers rookie Randall Cobb stole the show.<br />

Cobb, a second-round draft pick out of Kentucky, caught a touchdown from Rodgers and ran a kickoff back 108 yards for a score in the third<br />

quarter -- tying an <strong>NFL</strong> record for the longest kickoff return in history.<br />

In the wake of a rules change designed to promote touchbacks, Cobb just decided to run one back from deep in the end zone.<br />

Rodgers threw for 312 yards and three touchdowns.<br />

Brees threw for 419 yards and three touchdowns, including a late touchdown to Jimmy Graham that cut the lead to 8 with 2:15 left.<br />

After a Green Bay punt, Brees marched the Saints to the Packers 9-yard line and spiked the ball with 3 seconds left. Green Bay’s A.J. Hawk was<br />

called for pass interference and the ball was placed at the 1.<br />

Led by Matthews and Burnett, the Packers defense swarmed Ingram short of the goal line and the game was over.<br />

It was a big night for Donald Driver, who tied James Lofton’s Packers franchise mark for career yards receiving with 9,656.<br />

The Packers’ most impressive scoring play of the night came courtesy of Cobb, who fielded the ball deep in the Packers’ end zone in the third<br />

quarter but took it out anyway. Cobb spun off a tackling attempt by the Saints’ Leigh Torrence, put his right hand down to keep his balance, then<br />

rambled to the end zone.<br />

Cobb’s 108-yard return tied an <strong>NFL</strong> record set by New England’s Ellis Hobbs in September 2007. It also was the Packers’ first kickoff return for<br />

a touchdown since Allen Rossum in 2000.<br />

Cobb’s big return gave the Packers a 35-20 lead, but the game wasn’t over. Darren Sproles answered with a long kickoff return of his own, and<br />

Brees drove the Saints for a 29-yard touchdown to Devery Henderson.<br />

With a massive stage engulfing a portion of the Lambeau Field parking lot for a pregame concert, Thursday night certainly felt like a big game had<br />

<strong>com</strong>e to the <strong>NFL</strong>’s smallest market. Going into the game, Greg Jennings <strong>com</strong>pared it to a “mini Super Bowl.”<br />

But there wasn’t anything small about the Packers’ performance, proving once again that they were ready for the bright lights and a tough<br />

opponent.<br />

GREEN BAY 30, CAROLINA 23<br />

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- For the second straight week, Cam Newton threw for more than 400 yards, sidestepped pass rushers and moved the Carolina<br />

Panthers up and down the field.<br />

Leave it to Aaron Rodgers and the Super Bowl champion Green Bay Packers to spoil Newton’s home debut.<br />

Rodgers threw for 308 yards and two scores, while the Packers withstood a 432-yard passing day from the No. 1 overall draft pick to beat the<br />

Panthers 30-23 on Sunday.<br />

A week after throwing for 422 yards -- the most in league history by a rookie in his professional debut -- Newton topped himself by throwing for<br />

a franchise single-game record. He passed for one touchdown and also ran for a 4-yard score with 37 seconds left to bring Carolina within seven, but<br />

the Packers recovered the onside kick to seal the victory.<br />

While Newton racked up the big yards, Rodgers was the one to direct his team to a victory. He found Greg Jennings for a 49-yard touchdown pass<br />

early in the third quarter, the go-ahead score in a run of 23 straight points to erase an early 13-0 deficit.<br />

Then, after Clay Matthews stopped Newton a yard shy of the marker on a fourth-down run inside the 5, Rodgers found Jordy Nelson for an 84-yard<br />

touchdown that made it a two-possession game and helped the Packers hang on.<br />

Two plays later, Rodgers found Nelson on the left side, and the receiver sprinted down the sideline and all the way to the end zone to push the<br />

lead to 30-16 with 2:14 left.<br />

Newton went on to crack the 400-yard mark on the ensuing possession, finding Steve Smith deep over the middle for a 62-yard pass before capping<br />

the drive with his scoring run. He <strong>com</strong>pleted 28 of 46 passes and showed plenty of mobility -- he made Matthews miss on tackles at least three<br />

times -- and finished as Carolina’s top rusher with 53 yards.<br />

Newton couldn’t have asked for a better start in his home debut in front of a crowd loudly cheering his every move and hoping he’ll reverse the<br />

franchise’s sagging fortunes. He threw a 3-yard touchdown pass to Brandon LaFell on his first drive. Then, after a fumbled kickoff return by Randall<br />

Cobb, Newton directed the first of two field-goal drives to take the 13-0 lead.<br />

But Rodgers and the Packers’ offense -- which spent most of the first quarter on the sideline -- finally got in rhythm while Newton started making<br />

mistakes.<br />

His first came late in the second quarter by throwing to Smith in double coverage, with Woodson diving in front of Smith near the sideline for<br />

the interception.<br />

His second interception came when he tried to throw against pressure from Matthews, with Woodson jumping in front of Smith for a second<br />

pick. On the third, Newton simply overthrew an open Legedu Naanee and the ball ended up in the arms of safety Morgan Burnett near midfield late<br />

in the third quarter.<br />

GREEN BAY 27, CHICAGO <strong>17</strong><br />

CHICAGO -- Aaron Rodgers threw for 297 yards, including three touchdown passes to Jermichael Finley, and the Packers shut down Jay Cutler<br />

and the Chicago Bears on the way to a 27-<strong>17</strong> victory Sunday.<br />

The stakes weren’t as high as the previous meeting, when the Packers left Chicago’s home field celebrating the NFC title on the way to the championship.<br />

Even so, they gave the Bears (1-2) more headaches in the <strong>NFL</strong>’s longest-running series.<br />

Rodgers led the charge, <strong>com</strong>pleting 28 of 38 passes. He threw his first interception of the season, when Brian Urlacher picked him off with the<br />

Packers leading 27-<strong>17</strong> in the fourth quarter.<br />

The Bears took over at their 45, but two penalties -- holding by Chris Spencer and unnecessary roughness on Devin Hester for a confrontation<br />

with Sam Shields -- ended any shot at a <strong>com</strong>eback.<br />

Rodgers hit Finley with a 6-yard TD on the game’s opening drive, a 7-yarder early in the second quarter that made it 14-0, and a 10-yarder that<br />

gave the Packers (3-0) a <strong>com</strong>manding 27-10 lead early in the fourth.<br />

Greg Jennings caught nine passes for 119 yards, while Finley finished with seven receptions and 85 yards. Ryan Grant ran for 92, and Morgan<br />

Burnett intercepted Cutler twice on passes intended for Roy Williams to help the Packers remain unbeaten.<br />

For the Bears, it was simply a brutal performance.<br />

Their quarterback struggled in a big way and the running game was nonexistent again as Chicago dropped its second straight after an impressive<br />

win over Atlanta.<br />

The Bears managed just 13 yards rushing. And with 12 attempts, they matched their second fewest for the second straight game.<br />

Things were so bad against Green Bay that fans cheered sarcastically when he gained 3 yards early in the third period. But it wasn’t like the<br />

quarterback was lighting things up, either.<br />

Cutler was 21 of 37 with two touchdowns and two interceptions and threw six straight in<strong>com</strong>pletions to start the second half against a defense<br />

that allowed Drew Brees and Cam Newton to throw for more than 400. Worse, the Packers were without Pro Bowl safety Nick Collins, who suffered<br />

a season-ending neck injury the previous week.<br />

Even so, Cutler couldn’t take advantage.<br />

About the only good news for him was he stayed healthy after spending most of the second half of that NFC title game on the sideline with a knee<br />

injury -- while current and former players questioned his toughness on Twitter.<br />

While Cutler struggled, it wasn’t a good game either for Williams. He was targeted four times and did not catch a pass after sitting out a game<br />

with a groin injury.<br />

It was a better day for Johnny Knox, who caught four passes for 84 yards, but the Packers clearly controlled this one.<br />

GREEN BAY 49, DENVER 23<br />

GREEN BAY, Wis. -- Aaron Rodgers still likes to remind people that he’s more athletic than he sometimes gets credit for.<br />

So even on a day when he threw for a career-high 408 yards and tied a career best with four touchdown passes, Rodgers was perhaps most<br />

pleased with his two rushing touchdowns in the Green Bay Packers’ 49-23 rout of the Denver Broncos on Sunday.<br />

Rodgers had perhaps the biggest day of his career, Charles Woodson ran an interception back for a touchdown and the Packers (4-0) remain<br />

unbeaten. Green Bay and resurgent NFC North rivals <strong>Detroit</strong> are the only undefeated teams left in the <strong>NFL</strong>.<br />

Eric Decker caught a pair of touchdowns from Kyle Orton for Denver (1-3). Orton threw for 273 yards with three touchdowns and three interceptions.<br />

Backup Tim Tebow made a brief and uneventful appearance at quarterback for the Broncos early, but coach John Fox chose not to give Tebow<br />

more work when the game got out of control in the fourth quarter.<br />

Rodgers’ 408 yards passing was a regular-season career high; he threw for 423 yards in the Packers’ playoff loss to Arizona in January 2010.<br />

Rodgers was replaced by backup Matt Flynn late in the fourth quarter.<br />

Packers veteran wide receiver Donald Driver left in the second quarter with an apparent left knee injury, but returned in the second half -- then<br />

caught a touchdown from Rodgers in the fourth quarter.<br />

The Packers took a 21-3 lead on Rodgers’ 11-yard touchdown scramble early in the second quarter, but the Broncos briefly got back in the game<br />

as Orton threw a pair of second-quarter touchdowns to Decker.<br />

Rodgers then shut the door just before halftime, throwing a <strong>17</strong>-yard touchdown to Greg Jennings with 24 seconds left in the second quarter. The<br />

Packers took a 28-<strong>17</strong> lead.<br />

Driver got a big cheer from the crowd when he jogged out of the tunnel to start the second half, and the Packers went back to work.<br />

Rodgers converted a third-and-13 situation with an 18-yard <strong>com</strong>pletion to James Jones, then went on to march the Packers to the Denver 8-yard<br />

line. Rodgers took off running and was tackled as he stretched the ball to the goal line, where officials ruled him just short.<br />

Mike McCarthy called for a replay review, and the play was ruled a touchdown. Green Bay took a 35-<strong>17</strong> lead with 8:26 left in the third quarter.<br />

Orton put together another drive as the Broncos tried to keep up, and appeared to find tight end Daniel Fells for a long gain near the goal line. But<br />

Fells fumbled the ball and Packers safety Morgan Burnett recovered, giving the ball back to the Packers.<br />

Rodgers then hit Randall Cobb for a 61-yard <strong>com</strong>pletion as the rookie spun away from a pair of Broncos defenders, and the Packers finished the<br />

drive with a 16-yard touchdown pass to Jones to put Green Bay ahead 42-<strong>17</strong>.<br />

Woodson’s 30-yard interception return for a touchdown in the first quarter was the 11th of his career, tying him with Darren Sharper for second<br />

on the <strong>NFL</strong>’s all-time list -- and leaving him just one shy of the record held by Rod Woodson.<br />

ATLANTA -- Aaron Rodgers was down early, but hardly down and out.<br />

In the end, the result was the same.<br />

Another win for the Super Bowl champs in Atlanta.<br />

Following up on a blowout of the Falcons in last year’s playoffs, Rodgers threw for 396 yards and a pair of touchdowns to rally Green Bay from<br />

an early 14-point hole, keeping the Packers unbeaten with a 25-14 victory Sunday night.<br />

The high-scoring Packers (5-0) were held without a touchdown in the first half by Atlanta (2-3), which was trying to make up for an embarrassing<br />

48-21 loss to Green Bay last January. The Falcons had the Georgia Dome rocking when they raced to a 14-0 lead early in the second quarter, scoring<br />

on their first two possessions. After that, the home fans had little to cheer about.<br />

Green Bay settled for three field goals by Mason Crosby, closing to 14-9 before Rodgers got rolling. He connected with James Jones on a 70-yard<br />

touchdown that gave Green Bay its first lead late in the third quarter. Then, on the first play of the fourth, Rodgers connected with Greg Jennings on<br />

a 29-yard scoring play that stretched the lead to 22-14.<br />

Crosby clinched it for the Packers with his fourth field goal, a 30-yarder with 1:10 remaining after Rodgers guided the Packers on another long<br />

drive, hitting every pass he needed until Green Bay was safely in range to wrap it up.<br />

Atlanta didn’t crack 200 total yards until late in the game. Matt Ryan had another tough night against the Packers, throwing for just 167 yards with<br />

two more interceptions after turning it over three times in that playoff debacle last January.<br />

Taking the opening kickoff, Atlanta went 80 yards in 13 plays to grab a 7-0 lead on Ryan’s 5-yard touchdown pass to Roddy White. What was<br />

more impressive was the way the Falcons drove the field.<br />

The Packers were driving for the matching score when Ryan Grant took a shot from Brent Grimes, knocking the ball loose. Vance Walker fell on<br />

the fumble at the Atlanta 40, giving it back to Ryan and the Falcons offense.<br />

Ten more plays, and it was 14-0. Ryan <strong>com</strong>pleted four straight passes for 45 yards. Turner finished it off by powering over from the 1. The Georgia<br />

Dome was rocking, and the Falcons looked unstoppable.<br />

But the Super Bowl champs weren’t going to just roll over.<br />

Crosby connected from 32 and 35 yards to make it 14-6 at halftime, then boomed through a 56-yarder that matched the longest field goal in<br />

franchise history. An uneasy feeling settled over the raucous crowd, with good reason. After another three-and-out for an Atlanta offense that suddenly<br />

couldn’t do anything right, the Packers finally took it to the end zone.<br />

Rodgers dropped back and fired one deep down the middle to Jones, who got a step on Thomas DeCoud, took the throw without breaking stride<br />

and easily outran James Sanders for the 70-yard score. Just like that, the Packers had the lead for the first time. Even after failing on the 2-point try,<br />

they were up 15-14. The Falcons never recovered.<br />

The lead grew on the first play of the fourth quarter. Rodgers threw over the middle to Jennings, who turned on a burst of speed to get around<br />

the corner, then stretched out with one hand to get the ball past the pylon.<br />

GREEN BAY, Wis. -- The Green Bay Packers’ record remains perfect. The fact that their play has been far from flawless remains a constant source<br />

of motivation for Aaron Rodgers.<br />

Rodgers threw three touchdowns, including a career-long 93-yarder to Jordy Nelson, and the Packers rolled to a 24-3 victory over the St. Louis<br />

Rams on Sunday. With Sunday’s loss by NFC North rival <strong>Detroit</strong>, the Packers (6-0) are the last unbeaten team left in the <strong>NFL</strong> this season.<br />

Rodgers threw for 310 yards, delivering touchdowns to Nelson, James Jones and Donald Driver.<br />

Sam Bradford was 28 of 44 for 321 yards with an interception for the Rams (0-5), who were <strong>com</strong>ing off their bye week. Rams running back Steven<br />

Jackson had 18 carries for 96 yards.<br />

The Packers were wearing blue-and-gold uniforms designed to replicate a 1929 design, but Rodgers’ ability to scramble out of trouble and make<br />

big plays was anything but a throwback to the days of leather helmets. Rodgers did offer a wholehearted endorsement of the third uniform earlier in<br />

the week, saying the pants were among the most <strong>com</strong>fortable football pants he’d ever worn.<br />

As Rodgers kept rolling, the Packers continued to brush off a fresh batch of injuries.<br />

Green Bay got right tackle Bryan Bulaga back from a knee injury after the 2010 first-round pick missed the previous two games. But the Packers<br />

will have to live without veteran left tackle Chad Clifton indefinitely after he injured his hamstring in last Sunday’s victory at Atlanta.<br />

Second-year player Marshall Newhouse took over for Clifton, but the Rams couldn’t get much pressure on Rodgers -- and when they did, he<br />

simply spun away.<br />

The Packers also were banged up at safety. Already missing Pro Bowl safety Nick Collins -- out for the season after sustaining a neck injury in<br />

<strong>Week</strong> 2 -- fellow safety Morgan Burnett had to play Sunday’s game with a huge club on his broken right hand.<br />

Green Bay’s secondary took another blow in the third quarter when cornerback Sam Shields sustained a head injury after he picked off a Bradford<br />

pass in the end zone and was hit hard. McCarthy said Shields was still being evaluated after the game.<br />

Trailing 3-0 and facing a fourth-and-3 play near the end of the first quarter, the Rams went for it and Bradford threw in<strong>com</strong>plete. The Packers<br />

got the ball back and gambled on fourth down as well, going for it on fourth-and-1 at the 50. James Starks burst through the line for a 15-yard gain.<br />

Rodgers showed his mastery of play action on the next play, faking a handoff to Starks on the right side, rolling to his left and delivering a perfect<br />

pass to Jones in the end zone for a 35-yard touchdown and 10-0 lead.<br />

After a Rams punt pinned the Packers at their own 7, Rodgers got the best of former teammate Al Harris on his big play to Nelson. Rodgers got<br />

the veteran cornerback to bite on a fake and then threw a rainbow to the wide-open Nelson for an easy score and a <strong>17</strong>-0 lead.<br />

Rodgers put together another drive toward the end of the second quarter, capitalizing on the threat of his running ability to finish it off. On<br />

second-and-goal at the 7, Rodgers appeared to make a run for the end zone -- then pulled up and flipped the ball to Driver for a touchdown with<br />

1:51 left before halftime.<br />

MINNEAPOLIS -- Despite the disparate records, Aaron Rodgers and the Packers found plenty of <strong>com</strong>petition from Christian Ponder in the fearless<br />

rookie’s first start for the Vikings.<br />

Rodgers was up for the challenge again, and the defending Super Bowl champions still didn’t flinch. Rodgers kept Green Bay unbeaten with three<br />

touchdowns and 335 yards passing, holding off Minnesota 33-27 on Sunday.<br />

Ponder was picked off twice in the third quarter by Charles Woodson, who almost grabbed a couple more interceptions, but he kept the Vikings<br />

in it from start to finish after <strong>com</strong>pleting a 71-yard pass play on his first snap.<br />

Adrian Peterson helped him out by rushing 24 times for <strong>17</strong>5 yards and a touchdown for the Vikings (1-6), but James Starks put the game away<br />

with two big gains for first downs before the 2-minute warning and another one right after. He had 75 yards on 13 carries for the Packers (7-0).<br />

Mason Crosby had four field goals for the Packers, including a franchise record 58-yarder, one of many delights among some anxious moments<br />

for the thousands of Packers fans in attendance who made the trip across the border.<br />

This rivalry is still fierce, as evidenced by a couple of early skirmishes.<br />

Vikings defensive end Brian Robison, frustrated by some unwel<strong>com</strong>e contact from Packers guard T.J. Lang during one second-quarter play, gave<br />

Lang a swift kick to the groin area, a caught-on-camera personal foul that drew a penalty and is likely to bring Robison a fine.<br />

Ponder’s first foray against the Packers, despite the mistakes, showed flash and promise.<br />

Ponder went 13 for 32, but he never looked rattled and finished with 219 yards and two touchdowns. Ponder also ran four times for 31 yards.<br />

He found Michael Jenkins for a score with 7:49 left, after a rare three-and-out by the Packers, to cut the lead to six points. He had the ball back with<br />

plenty of time to win it before a couple of errant heaves effectively ended the <strong>com</strong>eback.<br />

Green Bay has quite the grip on the <strong>NFL</strong> right now, with Rodgers and his rocket right arm leading the way.<br />

The Vikings have struggled in the secondary at full strength, and they weren’t even close to that. Safety Jamarca Sanford was recovering from a<br />

concussion. Antoine Winfield was still on the sideline with a stiff neck, and fellow cornerback Chris Cook -- their best player in pass coverage -- was<br />

not even at the stadium. He was in the county jail, for an alleged domestic assault.<br />

The rest of the Vikings were in the building, but they’re just not in Green Bay’s league this year. This usually tight rivalry hasn’t been this one-sided<br />

in decades. The Packers won for the eighth time in 11 meetings, and the <strong>com</strong>mon denominator is Rodgers.<br />

Yes, Jared Allen tacked two sacks on his <strong>NFL</strong>-leading total to give him 11½ , but Rodgers spread the ball around to just about every receiver and<br />

made a perfect throw to just about every spot on the field. He went 6 for 6 on his first drive, firing passes to six players during a ho-hum 91-yard<br />

march for the tying score.<br />

To keep this game <strong>com</strong>petitive, the Vikings needed a timely turnover or two, and the rookie Cobb gave them one at the end of the first quarter<br />

when he fumbled a fair catch with teammate M.D. Jennings getting in his way. The Vikings recovered at midfield and scored a few minutes later to<br />

make it 14-7.<br />

GREEN BAY 45, SAN DIEGO 38<br />

SAN DIEGO -- Aaron Rodgers was at his best, throwing lasers where only his receivers could catch them and finding four different teammates<br />

in the end zone.<br />

Yes, Rodgers had a lot to do with the Green Bay Packers remaining undefeated with a crazy 45-38 win over the staggering San Diego Chargers<br />

on Sunday.<br />

Peprah and Tramon Williams returned pickoffs for touchdowns in a span of six plays in the first quarter, and Peprah’s second pick in the closing<br />

seconds sealed the win for the Packers (8-0).<br />

Rodgers <strong>com</strong>pleted 21 of 26 passes for 247 yards and ran his <strong>NFL</strong>-leading total to 24 TD throws. He had scoring passes of 5 yards to Jermichael<br />

Finley, 16 to Jordy Nelson, 21 to James Jones and 4 to Greg Jennings.<br />

The Chargers (4-4) have lost three straight games, including road collapses at the New York Jets and on Monday night at Kansas City, when Rivers<br />

inexplicably fumbled a snap in the final minute of regulation.<br />

Rivers also threw four touchdown passes Sunday to tie his career high, three of them to Vincent Jackson.<br />

Rivers was 26 of 46 for 385 yards. It was the first time in his career that he threw three interceptions in a game.<br />

The Packers led by 21 points early in the fourth quarter before Rivers threw touchdown passes of 5 and 29 yards to Jackson in the span of 1:07<br />

midway through the quarter.<br />

San Diego had a final chance to tie it, starting a drive at its 32 with 1:05 remaining and no timeouts left. Aided by a pass interference call against<br />

Charles Woodson, Rivers moved the Chargers to the Packers 41 before putting up a deep ball that Peprah easily picked off and returned 76 yards to<br />

the San Diego 6. The Packers took a knee to end the game.<br />

Rivers threw two pick-6s that gave the Packers a 21-7 lead.<br />

Desmond Bishop tipped a pass intended for tight end Antonio Gates and Peprah intercepted. He broke four tackles during his 40-yard return and<br />

got a big block by Clay Matthews.<br />

On the next Chargers possession, Williams jumped a route for an interception and 40-yard TD return.<br />

Rivers and Mike Tolbert kept the Chargers in the game. Tolbert scored on an 8-yard run and, after the Chargers held the Packers on fourth-and-2<br />

at the San Diego 36, Nick Novak kicked a career-best 52-yard field goal to pull to 21-<strong>17</strong>.<br />

Amazingly, the Packers’ next drive was just their third of the first half. Although he was sacked twice, Rodgers moved the Packers to the San Diego<br />

16 before throwing a TD pass to Nelson, who hauled it in at the 1 and then rolled into the end zone for a 28-<strong>17</strong> halftime lead.<br />

After Rivers hit Gates with an 11-yard TD pass in the third quarter, Rodgers threw a perfect 21-yarder to Jones and then a 4-yarder to Jennings<br />

early in the fourth quarter to seemingly put away the game.<br />

GREEN BAY 45, MINNESOTA 7<br />

GREEN BAY, Wis. -- Aaron Rodgers was just fine sharing the spotlight with the Green Bay Packers’ defense. Thrilled, actually.<br />

If the Packers now can field a dependable defense along with their trademark high-octane offense, they just might be unstoppable.<br />

The Packers finally played to their potential against the division rival Vikings (2-7), holding rookie quarterback Christian Ponder to 190 yards<br />

passing with an interception and limiting running back Adrian Peterson to 51 yards and a touchdown.<br />

The Vikings’ defense did its best to rough up Rodgers, sacking him three times and hitting him hard virtually every time he took off running.<br />

Defensive end Jared Allen harassed Rodgers at every turn.<br />

The pressure didn’t force any uncharacteristic mistakes from Rodgers, who was 23 of 30 for 250 yards without an interception. Rodgers threw a<br />

pair of touchdown passes to Jordy Nelson, and also found Greg Jennings and John Kuhn for scores.<br />

McCarthy put backup quarterback Matt Flynn in the game with 10:30 left in the fourth quarter -- and the Vikings couldn’t keep him out of the end<br />

zone, either, as he scrambled 3 yards for a touchdown with 4:27 left.<br />

After the Packers’ defense forced the Vikings to go three-and-out on their first possession, Cobb fielded a punt from Chris Kluwe and squeezed<br />

through a seam in the middle of the field.<br />

Cobb accelerated down the left sideline and danced the final few steps into the end zone, tossing the ball in the air as if he was shooting a basketball<br />

before doing a “Lambeau leap” into the stands.<br />

Rodgers finally got the ball and directed an 11-play, 70-yard drive that included conversions on third-and-8, to Donald Driver, and third-and-7,<br />

to running back James Starks. Rodgers then finished the drive with a perfect pass to Jennings in the middle of the field for a touchdown, and the<br />

Packers led 14-0.<br />

Rodgers then put together another drive, and Rodgers hit tight end Jermichael Finley for 25 yards on a fourth-and-5 conversion attempt at the<br />

Vikings 34-yard line. Allen sacked Rodgers on first-and-goal, and the Packers ended up settling for a 25-yard field goal by Mason Crosby to take a<br />

<strong>17</strong>-0 lead with 12:04 left before halftime.<br />

Ponder then threw an interception to Packers cornerback Tramon Williams, misfiring on a deep ball after a flea-flicker toss back from Peterson.<br />

Rodgers was sharp on the first possession of the second half, leading an eight-play, 69-yard drive that included a fourth-down conversion to<br />

Nelson.<br />

Rodgers found Nelson on the right sideline two plays later, Nelson threw a stiff arm at Vikings cornerback Cedric Griffin and broke free for a<br />

touchdown, giving the Packers a <strong>com</strong>manding 24-0 lead with 10:45 left in the third quarter.<br />

The Packers forced another punt but Cobb fumbled, and the Vikings recovered deep in Packers territory. Cobb then made up for his mistake with<br />

a long kickoff return to give the ball to the Packers at midfield. Rodgers led yet another precision drive, finishing it off with a 9-yard touchdown pass<br />

to Kuhn for a 31-7 lead.<br />

GREEN BAY 35, TAMPA BAY 26<br />

GREEN BAY, Wis. -- Aaron Rodgers missed a few more throws than he usually does, and even threw an interception with the game still in doubt.<br />

He just wasn’t at his best against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday -- until he absolutely had to be.<br />

With the Packers clinging to a two-point lead and trying to fend off a late rally, Rodgers threw a 40-yard touchdown to Jordy Nelson with 2:55 left<br />

and the Packers survived a scare from the Buccaneers for a 35-26 victory.<br />

Freeman threw for 342 yards with two touchdowns and two interceptions for the Buccaneers (4-6), who have lost four straight but didn’t back<br />

down against the reigning Super Bowl champions.<br />

Blount had 107 yards rushing for Tampa Bay, including a rambling 54-yard touchdown run in the second quarter where he broke at least six<br />

tackles.<br />

Tight end Tom Crabtree caught a touchdown from Rodgers and John Kuhn added a touchdown rushing from Green Bay. The Packers got their<br />

first score of the afternoon on a run by 337-pound defensive lineman B.J. Raji.<br />

The Buccaneers trailed by only four points and seemed to have some momentum when they tried a surprise onside kick before halftime. After<br />

a replay review gave the ball to Green Bay at the Tampa Bay 38-yard line, Rodgers drove for a 5-yard touchdown to Nelson that gave the Packers a<br />

21-10 lead.<br />

Tampa Bay then had a touchdown taken off the board in the third quarter when Kellen Winslow was called for offensive pass interference. The<br />

Buccaneers settled for a 32-yard field goal by Connor Barth.<br />

The Buccaneers’ defense got a stop, and Freeman directed an eight-play, 91-yard scoring drive that ended with a 9-yard touchdown pass to Mike<br />

Williams.<br />

Tampa Bay tried to tie it with a 2-point conversion, but Winslow -- who had a pair of big gains on the drive -- dropped a catchable ball in the<br />

end zone.<br />

Packers running back James Starks did the majority of the work in an eight-play, 85-yard scoring drive that ended with a 2-yard touchdown run<br />

by Kuhn.<br />

But the Buccaneers got another chance when Rodgers threw an interception to Elbert Mack -- only Rodgers’ fourth pick this season -- and Freeman<br />

threw a 37-yard pass to Arrelious Benn to set up first-and-goal at the 2.<br />

Freeman then threw a touchdown to Dezmon Briscoe and the Buccaneers kicked the extra point to cut the Packers’ lead to 28-26 with 4:25 left.<br />

Tampa Bay tried another onside kick, but the Packers recovered and Rodgers found Nelson to put the game away.<br />

DETROIT -- Aaron Rodgers took every hit the <strong>Detroit</strong> Lions could dish out.<br />

He just kept throwing -- and winning.<br />

Rodgers threw two touchdown passes and the Green Bay Packers built a big lead in the third quarter thanks in part to Ndamukong Suh’s ejection<br />

during a 27-15 victory in <strong>Detroit</strong> on Thursday.<br />

<strong>Detroit</strong>’s best chance to beat the Packers was to knock Rodgers out of the game, just as it did last year in a victory that started a nine-game<br />

winning streak.<br />

The Lions gave that tactic a shot, hitting him even if he had already gotten rid of the ball. Kyle Vanden Bosch was flagged for one of those late hits<br />

and could’ve drawn another penalty for trying to rough up the star quarterback even more on the same drive.<br />

The defending champion Packers are 11-0 for the first time in franchise history and have won a team-record <strong>17</strong> straight, including the playoffs.<br />

While the Packers are working on a perfect season, <strong>Detroit</strong> (7-4) has to figure out a way to avoid the physical and mental mistakes that have put<br />

the team on the playoff bubble after a 5-0 start.<br />

Suh’s day might lead to another fine -- and possibly a suspension.<br />

He was tossed for stomping on Evan Dietrich-Smith’s right arm in the third quarter.<br />

The Packers took advantage of Suh’s misstep just as they did on Matthew Stafford’s three interceptions.<br />

John Kuhn followed nose tackle B.J. Raji for a 1-yard TD plunge after Suh was flagged on third down, and Green Bay turned Stafford’s interceptions<br />

into two TDs and a field goal.<br />

<strong>Detroit</strong> became the <strong>NFL</strong>’s first team to win three games in a season after trailing by <strong>17</strong> points with Sunday’s <strong>com</strong>eback win over Carolina, but the<br />

Packers proved they weren’t as vulnerable as the Panthers.<br />

The Lions finally scored when Keiland Williams ran for a 16-yard TD with 13:11 left and added the 2-point conversion on a pass from Stafford to<br />

Titus Young that trimmed Green Bay’s lead to 16. They scored a meaningless TD on Stafford’s 3-yard pass to Calvin Johnson with 11 seconds left.<br />

<strong>Detroit</strong> had raised expectations for a <strong>com</strong>petitive and entertaining game during its annual showcase after losing the last seven games by threeplus<br />

TDs on average.<br />

The Lions kept it close early -- in a punt-and penalty-filled first half -- then simply couldn’t keep up with Rodgers’ passing attack and failed to<br />

stay disciplined.<br />

Rodgers doesn’t need any help, but he did get an assist when <strong>Detroit</strong> lost three defensive backs to injuries, leaving the Lions with receiver Rashied<br />

Davis in the secondary.<br />

Rodgers was 22 of 32 for 307 yards. He threw a 3-yard TD pass to Greg Jennings with 4:51 left in the first half for the first score of the game and<br />

a 65-yard pass to James Jones in the third for a 21-0 lead.<br />

Stafford was 32 of 45 for 276 yards. He was picked off by Woodson, Clay Matthews and Rob Francois.<br />

Green Bay’s winning streak, including its run in the 2010 playoffs, equals the streak the Oakland Raiders had during the 1976-77 seasons.<br />

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- Tied with less than a minute to play and 80 yards from the end zone, Aaron Rodgers wasn’t going to wait until<br />

overtime.<br />

Rodgers <strong>com</strong>pleted passes of 24, 27 and 18 yards in a lightning-quick five-play drive to set up a 31-yard field goal by Mason Crosby on the<br />

final play, and the Green Bay Packers remained undefeated and clinched a playoff berth with a 38-35 victory over the New York Giants on Sunday.<br />

The defending Super Bowl champions (12-0) won their 18th straight game. Coupled with the <strong>Detroit</strong> Lions loss to New Orleans Sunday, the<br />

Packers captured the NFC North.<br />

Rodgers hit all four of his passes in the 58-second drive that sent the Giants (6-6) to their fourth straight loss, starting with a 24-yard laser to tight<br />

end Jermichael Finley just over the hands of rookie linebacker Jacquian Williams.<br />

The second one covered 24 yards to Jordy Nelson down the left sideline and moved the ball to the New York 29. An 18-yard pass to Greg Jennings<br />

two plays later moved the ball to the 12. The third toss was a 1-yard loss.<br />

Green Bay called time out with 3 seconds to go, and then Crosby delivered his winning kick.<br />

Rodgers, harassed by the Giants’ front four and sacked three times, finished 28 of 46 for 369 yards. He threw touchdown passes of 7 and 13 yards<br />

to Donald Driver and 12 to Finley in addition to the one to Jennings.<br />

The Giants tied it on a 2-yard touchdown pass from Eli Manning to Hakeem Nicks, and a 2-point conversion run by D.J. Ware on a Manning<br />

audible with just under a minute to play.<br />

Manning’s touchdowns covered 67-yards to Travis Beckum and 4 and 2 yards to Nicks. Brandon Jacobs scored on a 1-yard run after a rare interception<br />

of Rodgers and Lawrence Tynes kicked two field goals with a 50-yarder in the fourth quarter getting New York within 28-27.<br />

Rodgers hooked up with Driver on a 7-yard TD with 3:34 to go to push the lead to 35-27.<br />

However, Manning hit tight end Jake Ballard on two 15-yard passes and connected with Victor Cruz for 22 yards to set up the tying score that<br />

New York thought would send the game to OT.<br />

Rodgers had other ideas, though, and the Packers continued their run at trying to match Miami’s perfect season in 1972.<br />

It’s not surprising New York gave them a game. The Giants ended the Denver Broncos’ perfect season at 11 games in 1998 and they knocked off<br />

the New England Patriots in the Super Bowl in February 2008 when Tom Brady and <strong>com</strong>pany were a game from perfection.<br />

New York seemed to be in control until Manning made a mistake on a play-action pass on the first play of the second quarter. With his primary<br />

receiver covered, Manning threw a sideline pass to Ahmad Bradshaw in front of the Packers bench and Matthews jumped the route and returned it<br />

38 yards for a touchdown and a 14-10 lead.<br />

Rodgers had only been intercepted four times all season but linebacker Chase Blackburn, signed Wednesday, picked him off at the Green Bay 21<br />

and returned the ball to the 12. Two plays later, Jacobs plowed in from the 1 to give New York a <strong>17</strong>-14 edge.<br />

Rodgers atoned for the error on the next series, driving the Packers 80 yards in 11 plays with the biggest play being an 11-yard scramble on a<br />

third-and-10 from New York 43. Rodgers capped the march with a 13-yard, third-down touchdown pass to a wide-open Driver on a play in which the<br />

Giants secondary blew the coverage.<br />

GREEN BAY 46, OAKLAND 16<br />

GREEN BAY, Wis. -- Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers should have been feeling satisfied.<br />

With Sunday’s 46-16 rout of the Oakland Raiders, the Packers brushed aside a playoff contender by halftime to win their 19th straight, moved a<br />

game away from clinching home-field advantage throughout the playoffs -- and at 13-0, they kept the possibility of a perfect season squarely in sight.<br />

Instead, Rodgers seemed concerned about the health of star wide receiver Greg Jennings, who left the game with an apparent left knee injury in<br />

the third quarter.<br />

Jennings’ injury put a damper on what was otherwise one of the Packers’ most <strong>com</strong>plete performances of the season. Rodgers threw for 281 yards<br />

with two touchdowns and an interception in less than three quarters’ worth of work, Ryan Grant had two touchdowns rushing and Charles Woodson<br />

picked off a pass against his former team.<br />

Carson Palmer threw for 245 yards with a touchdown and four interceptions for the Raiders (7-6), who looked like anything but legitimate contenders<br />

in the AFC West.<br />

Oakland was without injured running back Darren McFadden, along with wide receivers Jacoby Ford and Denarius Moore. And the Raiders made<br />

plenty of mistakes to help an opponent that doesn’t really need it.<br />

Palmer threw an interception on the Raiders’ first possession, and Oakland <strong>com</strong>mitted eight penalties in the first half alone.<br />

And while the Packers’ play has been far from perfect for most of the season, especially on defense, this one was total domination. Things got<br />

out of hand so quickly that the Raiders tried a fake punt in the second quarter. As was the case for most things the Raiders attempted Sunday, it<br />

didn’t work.<br />

Grant rediscovered his big-play ability for the Packers, breaking a 47-yard run two plays after Palmer threw an interception to rookie linebacker<br />

D.J. Smith on the Raiders’ first possession.<br />

The Packers were without injured running back James Starks, who had surpassed Grant in the Packers’ rotation. Until that play, Grant hadn’t<br />

looked like his explosive old self for most of the season.<br />

After a defensive stop, Rodgers directed a 10-play, 80-yard drive that ended with a 4-yard scoring pass to Ryan Taylor -- the rookie’s first career<br />

touchdown.<br />

Trailing 31-0 with about six minutes left in the half, the Raiders tried the fake punt. But Shane Lechler threw high to Rock Cartwright for an<br />

in<strong>com</strong>pletion, and the Packers took over at the Oakland 28-yard line.<br />

The Raiders finally got on the scoreboard in the third quarter when Michael Bush ran for a 2-yard touchdown to cut the lead to 34-7.<br />

Packers outside linebacker Erik Walden scored on a fumble return late in the third quarter.<br />

KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Mike McCarthy never put a whole lot of stock in a perfect season, except as a means of gaining home-field advantage and<br />

setting the Green Bay Packers up for another Super Bowl run.<br />

Well, they still have a chance to earn home-field advantage. The perfect season? That’s history.<br />

Kyle Orton threw for 299 yards to outduel Aaron Rodgers, and the Kansas City Chiefs rallied behind interim coach Romeo Crennel for a shocking<br />

19-14 victory on Sunday that ended the Packers’ 19-game winning streak. It was their first loss since Dec. 19, 2010, at New England.<br />

Rodgers was <strong>17</strong> of 35 for 235 yards and a touchdown, and he also scampered 8 yards for another touchdown with 2:12 left in the game. But the<br />

Packers (13-1) were unable to recover the onside kick, and Kansas City picked up a couple of first downs to secure the victory.<br />

Ryan Succop kicked four field goals for Kansas City (6-8), which had lost five of its last six games and fired coach Todd Haley last Monday. Jackie<br />

Battle added a short touchdown plunge with 4:53 left in the game, points that came in handy when Rodgers led one last scoring drive.<br />

Packers wide receiver Jordy Nelson was hit twice with offensive pass interference, Rodgers was harassed by the Chiefs’ weak pass rush, and Green<br />

Bay wound up making five first downs in the first half.<br />

One of them came when Kansas City’s Jeremy Horne ran into Packers punter Tim Masthay, giving them 15 free yards. The Chiefs tried to give<br />

Green Bay another gift later on the drive when Mason Crosby missed a 59-yard field goal attempt but Kansas City had 12 men on the field.<br />

With another chance from 54 yards, the normally reliable Crosby still pushed the kick right.<br />

Rodgers finished the half 6 of <strong>17</strong> for 59 yards, with a handful of drops between wide receiver Donald Driver and tight end Jermichael Finley. In<br />

fact, things were going so badly for Green Bay that at one point it ran out of the wildcat despite having one of the best quarterbacks in the game.<br />

The Chiefs were still clinging to a 6-0 lead when Rodgers finally hit downfield, finding Finley over top of `the coverage for a 41-yard gain. Three<br />

plays later, the Packers’ star quarterback hit Driver in the corner of the end zone for a 7-6 lead with 8:04 left in the third quarter.<br />

Kansas City answered when Orton hit his own tight end, Leonard Pope, for a career-long 38-yard catch. Jon Baldwin added a <strong>17</strong>-yard grab to set<br />

up Succop’s 46-yard, go-ahead field goal.<br />

The Packers moved into field-goal range on their ensuing drive, but rather than have Crosby attempt a 56-yard kick in the same direction he had<br />

already missed, McCarthy elected to go for it on fourth-and-9. Rodgers’ pass fell in<strong>com</strong>plete and the Chiefs took over.<br />

They needed seven plays to cover 59 yards, but had to settle for another field goal and a 12-7 lead. It was the third time the Chiefs drove inside<br />

the 5 and had six total points to show for it.<br />

They got seven on their next trip, though.<br />

With first-and-goal at the 5, Thomas Jones managed to gain a yard and Le’Ron McClain bulled ahead for three more, setting up third down from<br />

just outside the goal line. Battle took the carry over the right side and powered into the end zone, giving the woeful Kansas City offense its highestscoring<br />

game since the Chiefs beat San Diego in overtime in late October.<br />

The Packers marched down the field in the closing minutes, and Rodgers showed his moxie by scampering around the end for a touchdown that<br />

made it 19-14, but that was as close as they got.<br />

GREEN BAY 35, CHICAGO 21<br />

GREEN BAY, Wis. -- With the first five-touchdown passing game of his <strong>NFL</strong> career, Aaron Rodgers ensured that the Green Bay Packers’ playoff<br />

road will go through Lambeau Field.<br />

He also made sure the rival Chicago Bears will be spending the playoffs at home.<br />

Rodgers broke a close game wide open by leading three quick scoring drives in the second half, and the Packers beat the Bears 35-21 on Sunday<br />

night.<br />

Rodgers threw a pair of touchdown passes to Jordy Nelson, another two to James Jones, and found tight end Jermichael Finley for a score.<br />

Rodgers was 21 of 29 for 283 yards and five touchdowns with no interceptions when backup Matt Flynn took over for Rodgers with 7:54 left in the<br />

game.<br />

Rodgers surpassed Lynn Dickey’s single-season franchise record of 4,458 yards passing with one game left, although it’s unclear how much<br />

Rodgers will play in the Packers’ finale against <strong>Detroit</strong>.<br />

Third-string running back Kahlil Bell rushed for 121 yards for the Bears, who trailed by only four early in the third quarter. But Rodgers drove the<br />

Packers for touchdowns on their next three possessions to put the game out of reach.<br />

Chicago came into Sunday on a four-game losing streak and beset by injuries. But the Bears were able to stay in the game with solid defense and<br />

tough running by Bell, who started because of injuries to Matt Forte and Marion Barber.<br />

The victory was the Packers’ fourth over the Bears in 2011. Green Bay also beat Chicago in the 2010 regular-season finale, the NFC Championship<br />

game, and at Soldier Field on Sept. 25.<br />

With the Bears trailing 14-3 at halftime, quarterback Josh McCown found Earl Bennett wide open for a 49-yard gain to set up first-and-goal on the<br />

1. Bell fumbled just short of the goal line on the next play but offensive lineman Edwin Williams recovered the ball for a touchdown.<br />

With the Packers nursing a four-point lead, and the Lambeau Field crowd nervously quiet early in the third quarter, Rodgers answered by dropping<br />

deep and throwing a rainbow pass to Nelson, who blew through the Chicago secondary and hauled in the ball for a 55-yard touchdown.<br />

Rodgers then showed his running ability on the Packers’ next possession, juking his way between Bears linebackers Brian Urlacher and Lance<br />

Briggs on a scramble. Rodgers finished the drive with a 7-yard touchdown toss to Jones, giving the Packers a <strong>com</strong>manding 28-10 lead.<br />

Packers safety Charlie Peprah came up with an interception, and Rodgers found Nelson for another score to give Green Bay a 35-10 lead.<br />

McCown finally answered with a 1-yard touchdown pass to tight end Kellen Davis -- then drew the ire of the Lambeau crowd by scrambling for a<br />

two-point conversion and spiking the ball over the goalpost with his team trailing 35-18.<br />

2011 BIOGRAPHIES<br />

THROUGH WEEK 16<br />

55 Desmond Bishop, LB, 5th Year, California<br />

2011 Season: Entrenched starter at the ‘Mack’ ILB position, opened the<br />

first 11 games before suffering a calf injury at <strong>Detroit</strong> in <strong>Week</strong> 12, then sitting<br />

out <strong>Week</strong>s 13-15...Was named an alternate to the Pro Bowl in this his<br />

first full season as a starter, ranking as the team’s leading tackler with 134<br />

stops (103 solo) and setting a new career high with five sacks...Has led or<br />

tied for the team lead in tackles in nine of the 12 games that he has played.<br />

<strong>vs</strong>. New Orleans Saints (9/8): Placed second on the defense with 11 tackles<br />

(all solo) and was also credited with a QB hit...Stopped RB Mark Ingram<br />

for no gain on a third-and-1 late in the third quarter...Came in unblocked<br />

behind DE Jarius Wynn, meeting Ingram at the line of scrimmage...New<br />

Orleans turned the ball over on downs on the ensuing play.<br />

at Carolina Panthers (9/18): Led the defense with 12 tackles (nine solo) and<br />

was credited with his fifth career sack when he touched QB Cam Newton<br />

down for a 13-yard loss in the second quarter...Ran a cross blitz with fellow<br />

LB A.J. Hawk and came free outside the right tackle...LB Clay Matthews<br />

had the initial pressure on Newton, who spun away but went down before<br />

being hit by Bishop...Also contributed to a red-zone defense that allowed<br />

just two TDs in six trips during the game...Stopped RB Jonathan Stewart<br />

after a 3-yard catch to the Green Bay 2-yard line on third down early in the<br />

first quarter to force a FG...<strong>Game</strong> marked the eighth double-digit tackle<br />

outing of his career.<br />

at Chicago Bears (9/25): Led the team in tackles with seven (five solo, one<br />

for loss), and helped key a run defense that allowed just 13 net yards on<br />

the afternoon...Shot between C and RG to help Matthews drop RB Matt<br />

Forté for a loss of a yard early in the first quarter...Solo tackle for loss was<br />

credited when he hit Forté in the backfield in a goal-line situation later in<br />

the second quarter...On the play, again filled a large hole between C and<br />

RG, wrapping up Forté at the Green Bay 4-yard line.<br />

<strong>vs</strong>. Denver Broncos (10/2): Led the way with a season-high 13 tackles (11<br />

solo), a sack and a key forced fumble in the Packers’ 49-23 defeat of<br />

Denver...Forced fumble came in the third quarter deep inside Green Bay<br />

territory when he missed a jam at the line on Daniel Fells and was trailing<br />

the TE down the seam...Gave up a <strong>com</strong>pletion but caught up in time<br />

to make the tackle and strip the ball from behind; fumble was recovered<br />

by S Morgan Burnett...The offense drove 86 yards in five plays for a TD,<br />

extending the lead to 42-<strong>17</strong>...Second sack of the season came on Denver’s<br />

next possession when he ran a cross blitz with Hawk and dropped QB<br />

Kyle Orton for an 8-yard loss after he’d stepped up in the pocket to avoid<br />

Matthews...Also made a successful denial of Denver’s two-point conversion<br />

attempt late in the fourth quarter...Shot through the line of scrimmage<br />

and dropped RB Knowshon Moreno in the backfield to thwart the attempt<br />

and keep the score at 49-23.<br />

at Atlanta Falcons (10/9): Paced the defense in tackles for the fourth<br />

consecutive week with nine stops (seven solo, two for loss) and his<br />

career-high tying third sack of the season...First tackle for loss came on<br />

the Falcons’ opening drive when he shot through RG and RT and dropped<br />

RB Michael Turner in the backfield for a 2-yard loss...Also stopped Turner<br />

twice for no gains at the line of scrimmage...Sack came on a first-and-10<br />

in the fourth quarter with Atlanta driving at the Green Bay 29-yard line...<br />

On the play, delayed his rush and then surged past LT Sam Baker, who<br />

had collapsed in to help block NT B.J. Raji, and dropped QB Matt Ryan for<br />

an 11-yard loss...Forced the Falcons into a second-and-21 and Ryan was<br />

intercepted on the next play by S Charlie Peprah.<br />

player since Hawk tallied 20 at Seattle on Nov. 27, 2006...One of his stops<br />

came on a third-down play on the first drive of the second half when he<br />

corraled physical RB Steven Jackson after a short <strong>com</strong>pletion to force a<br />

Peprah and utimately returned 40 yards for a TD to give Green Bay it’s first<br />

lead, 14-7...Set a new single-season career high for himself with his 9-yard<br />

sack of QB Philip Rivers early in the fourth quarter...On the play, lined up<br />

75 Bryan Bulaga, T, 2nd Year, Iowa<br />

2011 Season: Second-year man who exited training camp as the<br />

unquestioned starter at RT after opening the final 12 games of his rookie<br />

season and all of the postseason contests there in 2010...Started each of<br />

the first three games of 2011 before suffering a knee injury at Chicago in<br />

<strong>Week</strong> 3 and landing on the inactive list for the first time in his career <strong>vs</strong>.<br />

Denver and at Atlanta in <strong>Week</strong>s 4 and 5...Returned to the starting lineup<br />

at his familiar RT position in <strong>Week</strong> 6, having rehabilitated the injury...<br />

Sustained a sprain around his kneecap at Kansas City in <strong>Week</strong> 15 and was<br />

also inactive for the team’s contest against Chicago the following week<br />

(Dec. 25).<br />

<strong>vs</strong>. New Orleans Saints (9/8): Started at RT for an offense that generated 399<br />

yards of offense and five scoring drives in the season opener...Offensive<br />

line yielded just two sacks in 37 dropbacks and neither was charged to<br />

him...On James Starks’ <strong>17</strong>-yard TD run late in the second quarter, sealed<br />

the backside with a sound block on his former college teammate, DT Mitch<br />

King.<br />

at Carolina Panthers (9/18): Sound in protection once again as the unit<br />

helped the offense to a 400-yard, 30-point outing, while only yielding one<br />

sack and not surrendering any turnovers in 52 plays...Made a great drive<br />

block on Starks’ game-long 40-yard rush in the third quarter, pushing DE<br />

at Atlanta Falcons (10/9): Inactive (knee).<br />

the first two games of his young career with a knee injury and helped<br />

Rodgers to another 300-yard/three TD passing day...Showed few signs of<br />

rust and had a strong outing, matched against St. Louis DE Chris Long for<br />

most of the game...Blocked out of Long on Rodgers’ 35-yard play-action<br />

bootleg TD pass to WR James Jones early in the second quarter on what<br />

was a run-fake to his side...Withstood a strong bull-rush from Long, allowing<br />

Rodgers to escape to his left to find WR Donald Driver for a 7-yard TD<br />

just before halftime that put the Packers ahead 24-0.<br />

at Minnesota Vikings (10/23): Helped block for another prolific passing<br />

performance by Rodgers, one that saw him net 335 yards and three TDs<br />

through the air, en route to posting the second-highest QB rating of his<br />

career (146.5)...Found himself matched regularly against emerging pass<br />

rusher DE Brian Robison, holding him to just two tackles and no sacks during<br />

the game...Was an integral part of a the “four-minute” situational drive<br />

at the end of the fourth quarter that allowed Starks to pound out 55 rushing<br />

yards on six carries to burn the final 2:30 off the clock...On the series,<br />

Starks gashed the Vikings’ front for runs of 15, 20 and 13 yards...On the<br />

first play of the drive, Bulaga and Sitton worked cohesively to step out on<br />

a cross blitz by LBs E.J. Henderson and Chad Greenway, allowing Starks<br />

to power forward for 15 yards...Two plays later, drove Robison well to the<br />

outside, allowing Starks to motor around right end for a pickup of 20...On<br />

the 13-yard run that converted a third-and-7 and allowed the Packers to<br />

kneel on the ball, he blocked down on DT Kevin Williams, putting him on<br />

the turf as Starks surged through a hole in the right side of the line.<br />

at San Diego Chargers (11/6): Part of an offense that had an efficient day,<br />

putting together five scoring drives that netted 31 points, despite only having<br />

eight true possessions...Consistent protection allowed Rodgers to set a<br />

single-season <strong>NFL</strong> record by recording his eighth consecutive passer rating<br />

higher than 110 (145.8) and also be<strong>com</strong>e the first QB in league history<br />

to throw for 2,600 yards and 24 TDs in the first eight games of a season.<br />

<strong>vs</strong>. Minnesota Vikings (11/14): Helped protect for yet another productive<br />

outing that saw Rodgers <strong>com</strong>plete 23-of-30 for 250 yards and four TDs<br />

with no INTs...Was again matched regularly against Robison, who he shut<br />

out of the sack column and limited to just two tackles (one solo)...Offense<br />

reeled off six scoring drives, including four consecutive that resulted in<br />

TDs to open the second half, putting the game out of reach.<br />

<strong>vs</strong>. Tampa Bay Buccaneers (11/20): Started as part of an offense that yielded<br />

five TD drives and surrendered just two sacks, the lowest total allowed<br />

since <strong>Week</strong> 6 <strong>vs</strong>. St. Louis...Got out to the second level and made an<br />

excellent drive block on LB Quincy Black, helping to create the lane used<br />

by Starks on his game-long 20-yard run in the fourth quarter.<br />

at <strong>Detroit</strong> Lions (11/24): Helped silence one of the most talented defensive<br />

lines in the league, as the Packers limited the Lions front four to just one<br />

sack en route to another 300-yard passing day for Rodgers...Matched<br />

regularly against DE Cliff Avril, who he helped hold to just two tackles...<br />

Maintained good protection against DT Andre Fluellen on Rodgers’ 24-yard<br />

<strong>com</strong>pletion to WR James Jones in the fourth quarter.<br />

at New York Giants (12/4): Held up proficiently in protection once again,<br />

facing a host of different Giants defensive linemen throughout the game...<br />

setting new single-season franchise records for 300-yard games (eight)<br />

and three-plus TD passes (nine)...Maintained outstanding protection as<br />

the lone one-on-one blocker against a three-man rush on a prolonged<br />

play that ended with Rodgers’ 7-yard TD pass to WR Donald Driver in the<br />

fourth quarter.<br />

<strong>vs</strong>. Oakland Raiders (12/11): Matched regularly against powerful DE Lamarr<br />

Houston, and helped pave the way for another 390-yard offensive output<br />

that featured eight scoring drives (four TD, four FG)...Offense also equaled<br />

its season-high through the first 13 games with 136 rushing yards on 24<br />

carries (5.7 avg.)...<strong>Game</strong> saw Rodgers be<strong>com</strong>e just the second QB in <strong>NFL</strong><br />

history to throw for at least two TDs in each of the first 13 games of a<br />

season and his 37-yard second-quarter TD strike to Nelson gave him 39<br />

for the season, tying the single-season franchise record.<br />

at Kansas City Chiefs (12/18): Started the game, but suffered a knee sprain<br />

early in the second half and did not return.<br />

<strong>vs</strong>. Chicago Bears (12/25): Inactive (knee).<br />

42 Morgan Burnett, S, 2nd Year, Georgia Tech<br />

2011 Season: Second-year safety who reclaimed his starting SS position<br />

during 2011 training camp after missing the final 12 games and playoffs<br />

of 2010 with a season-ending knee injury suffered Oct. 3 <strong>vs</strong>. <strong>Detroit</strong>...<br />

Shifted to FS this season following a season-ending neck injury to Nick<br />

Collins and currently ranks No. 2 on the team with 101 tackles (78 solo)...<br />

Has 12 passes defensed in addition to a career-high three INTs...Also has<br />

two forced fumbles, in addition to a sack and a fumble recovery.<br />

<strong>vs</strong>. New Orleans Saints (9/8): Started his first regular-season game since<br />

<strong>Week</strong> 4 of 2010 and picked up where he left off, posting a career-high and<br />

team-leading 14 tackles (nine solo) from the SS position...Most critical<br />

tackle came on the game’s final play at the goal line when he came over<br />

the top of the first wave of defenders and teamed with LB Clay Matthews to<br />

stop RB Mark Ingram from advancing as time expired, preserving the win.<br />

at Carolina Panthers (9/18): Showed his dynamic array of skills throughout<br />

the game, finishing with three tackles (all solo), a sack, a forced fumble<br />

and his second career INT...Punched the ball out from WR Steve Smith following<br />

following possession, made his second career INT on an overthrown ball<br />

by former Atlanta high school foe QB Cam Newton...Was in a deep zone<br />

behind WR Legedu Naanee who was running to the post when the ball<br />

sailed beyond his hands and Burnett dove at the Carolina 49 to pick it<br />

off...First career sack game on a third down near the goal line when his<br />

coverage responsibility, TE Greg Olsen, stayed in to block and he chased<br />

a rolling Newton to the right sideline, dropping him for a 3-yard loss...<br />

The Panthers would turn the ball over on downs following the ensuing<br />

fourth-down play...Became the first Packers defender since Woodson on<br />

11/26/09 at <strong>Detroit</strong> to record a sack, INT and caused fumble in the same<br />

game.<br />

defense with six tackles (all solo) and two passes defensed, also posting<br />

the first two-INT game of his young career and tied for the <strong>NFL</strong> lead when<br />

he collected his second and third picks of the season...Flashed his impressive<br />

range on the first INT with 4:21 remaining in the first quarter when he<br />

came from the hashes to haul in a deep QB Jay Cutler pass intended for<br />

WR Roy Williams along the Chicago sideline...Williams had gotten behind<br />

CB Tramon Williams following a double-move and would have had a long<br />

gain had Burnett misplayed the throw or been late to arrive...The second<br />

INT came early in the fourth quarter when he was in a zone coverage, with<br />

depth behind Williams, who was running to the post...Cutler sailed the<br />

throw and though he was running to his right, he reached back high and to<br />

his left to secure the ball before being tackled...With the two INTs, became<br />

the first Packer since S Chuck Cecil in 1988 to record four INTs in his first<br />

seven <strong>NFL</strong> games...Also teamed with Woodson to be<strong>com</strong>e the first Packers<br />

teammates to register two-INT games in back-to-back weeks since Cecil<br />

and CB Ron Pitts did so in <strong>Week</strong>s 5 and 6 in 1988.<br />

<strong>vs</strong>. Denver Broncos (10/2): Tallied five tackles (four solo), his first career<br />

fumble recovery and a pass defensed against the Broncos...Picked up a<br />

fumble forced by LB Desmond Bishop inside the Packers’ 5-yard line in the<br />

third quarter...Returned it 10 yards and the offense went 86 yards in five<br />

plays for a TD to push the lead to 42-<strong>17</strong>...Made an excellent pre-snap read<br />

on a third down inside the red zone in the first quarter when he noticed<br />

WR Eric Decker motioning into a stack formation on the right side of the<br />

formation...Burst forward to drop the WR after a 1-yard gain to force a<br />

FG...Also nearly made another INT when he jumped a route intended for<br />

WR Brandon Lloyd, dove to get his hands on the ball, breaking up the play,<br />

but could not hang on.<br />

at Atlanta Falcons (10/9): Placed second in the secondary with seven<br />

tackles (five solo) and helped limit Atlanta’s dynamic pass offense to just<br />

167 yards on 31 attempts...Helped provide coverage over the top on the<br />

explosive WR tandem of Julio Jones and Roddy White who <strong>com</strong>bined for<br />

just seven catches and 66 yards (9.4 avg.) during the game.


<strong>vs</strong>. St. Louis Rams (10/16): Suffered a fracture in his right hand at practice<br />

during the week and played the game with a club cast...Still managed to<br />

place third on the defense with 10 tackles (five solo) and his second forced<br />

fumble of the season...Lowered his shoulder into the back of RB Steven<br />

Jackson on a fourth-quarter carry, jarring the ball loose on impact, though<br />

it was recovered by St. Louis...Was given the weekly “Big Hit” award for<br />

a shot he put on RB Cadillac Williams after a 1-yard <strong>com</strong>pletion two plays<br />

later in the fourth quarter, when he put a punishing hit on the back in the<br />

left flat.<br />

by Woodson on the Chargers’ second drive of the game.<br />

<strong>vs</strong>. Minnesota Vikings (11/14): Posted five tackles (three solo) and a pass<br />

defensed as part of a secondary that limited QB Christian Ponder to just<br />

190 passing yards and a 52.3 QB rating, the lowest by a Packers opponent<br />

through nine games.<br />

<strong>vs</strong>. Tampa Bay Buccaneers (11/20): Ranked third on the defense with seven<br />

tackles (six solo).<br />

at <strong>Detroit</strong> Lions (11/24): Played with a less restrictive cast on his hand for<br />

the first time and led the secondary with six tackles (all solo), helping to<br />

24 Jarrett Bush, CB/S, 6th Year, Utah State<br />

2011 Season: Versatile, aggressive defender and core special teams<br />

player has contributed in both areas in the 2011 season’s first 15 games...<br />

Has appeared in every game with one start, playing most extensively at<br />

Carolina (Sept. 18) and at Minnesota (Oct. 23) when the defense was<br />

without starting CB Tramon Williams and nickel CB Sam Shields, respectively...For<br />

the season, has totaled 16 tackles (13 solo), a career-high 1½<br />

sacks, an INT and six passes defensed...Is also tied for the team lead with<br />

12 tackles on the coverage units.<br />

<strong>vs</strong>. New Orleans Saints (9/8): Played as the team’s fourth CB and also on<br />

special teams...Saw extended action in the final four minutes of the fourth<br />

quarter when starter Tramon Williams suffered a shoulder injury and did<br />

not return...Posted one solo tackle and a pass defensed and was credited<br />

with his first career sack when he split one with LB A.J. Hawk on New<br />

Orleans’ first drive of the fourth quarter...Sack came out of the 6-DB ‘Bat’<br />

formation, when he blitzed from the slot and came through unblocked<br />

between LT Jermon Bushrod and LG Carl Nicks...Hawk came in behind him<br />

and the two dropped QB Drew Brees for a 10-yard loss, forcing a punt...<br />

Came in as an injury replacement for Williams later in the fourth and was<br />

tested on his first play...Covered WR Devery Henderson one-on-one on a<br />

corner route and made a good play on the ball when he turned and broke<br />

up the Brees pass in the end zone...Had one of the key blocks on WR<br />

Randall Cobb’s <strong>NFL</strong> record-tying 108-yard KR-TD when he teamed with TE<br />

Andrew Quarless to <strong>com</strong>bination block DE Junior Galette and maintained<br />

the play long enough to get Cobb into the open field...Also nearly downed a<br />

P Tim Masthay punt at the 1-yard line late in the fourth quarter, but officials<br />

determined his foot was touching the goal line when he caught the ball and<br />

ruled it a touchback.<br />

at Carolina Panthers (9/18): Saw extensive action as the nickel CB in the<br />

absence of regular starter Tramon Williams (shoulder) and recorded<br />

a career-high seven tackles (six solo) and a pass defensed during the<br />

game...Pass break-up came when he closed swiftly and batted away QB<br />

Cam Newton’s pass intended for TE Greg Olsen on a quick-out in the<br />

second quarter...Also played with a continued physicality near the line of<br />

scrimmage, including a run play where he fought off a block by Olsen and<br />

dropped RB DeAngelo Williams after just a 1-yard gain in the third quarter.<br />

at Chicago Bears (9/25): Appeared on seven snaps on defense, but made<br />

them count, recording the first full sack of his career and a pass defensed<br />

in his limited scrimmage action...Pass defensed came when he was in<br />

coverage of WR Dane Sanzenbacher near the goal line...Ran with the WR<br />

toward the sideline and was in position to deflect the ball when it was<br />

thrown behind the WR by QB Jay Cutler, nearly intercepting it...Sack came<br />

on a second down with 3:10 remaining in the fourth quarter when he<br />

blitzed from the right slot...Knifed his way to the inside, fighting off blocks<br />

by both RB Matt Forté and RT Frank Omiyale, closing as Cutler stepped<br />

up in the pocket to take him down for an 8-yard loss...The Bears turned it<br />

over on downs two plays later, ending any threat of a <strong>com</strong>eback in what<br />

was a 27-<strong>17</strong> victory.<br />

<strong>vs</strong>. Denver Broncos (10/2): Played sparingly on defense and did not record<br />

any statistics...Also was limited on special teams as the game featured a<br />

<strong>com</strong>bined three punts between the two teams...Was part of the surprise<br />

onside kick that the Packers recovered late in the first quarter, helping TE<br />

Tom Crabtree wall off LB Nate Irving to allow WR Jordy Nelson time to<br />

secure the ball and seize the possession that ultimately resulted in a Green<br />

Bay TD.<br />

at Atlanta Falcons (10/9): Appeared on defense briefly as part of the dime<br />

package, but recorded his first INT of the season on Atlanta’s final drive<br />

of the fourth quarter when he picked off QB Matt Ryan...Collected the ball<br />

after it was slightly overthrown and had hit off of the hands of WR Roddy<br />

White...Made a career-long 30-yard return before going to the ground to<br />

close out the 25-14 <strong>com</strong>eback win for Green Bay.<br />

<strong>vs</strong>. St. Louis Rams (10/16): Came on in relief of injured CB Sam Shields, who<br />

left the game late in the third quarter with a concussion...Appeared on 18<br />

defensive plays in the fourth quarter, registering three solo tackles and<br />

helping to keep St. Louis from scoring a TD in the 24-3 victory.<br />

at Minnesota Vikings (10/23): Saw extensive playing time, making his<br />

first start of the season and first since Oct. 3, 2010 <strong>vs</strong>. <strong>Detroit</strong>, serving<br />

as the team’s nickel corner in the absence of Shields (concussion), and<br />

finished with two tackles (both solo) and two passes defensed...First pass<br />

defensed came on the Vikings’ third drive of the game when he broke on<br />

an out pattern by Michael Jenkins and dove in front of the WR to knock<br />

the ball away...Second one came on a third-down stop early in the fourth<br />

quarter, when he broke up a pass intended for WR Michael Jenkins in the<br />

end zone to force Minnesota into a FG attempt...Made an outstanding play<br />

as a gunner on the punt-coverage team late in the fourth quarter to help<br />

down a Masthay kick deep inside Minnesota territory...Beat a double team<br />

at the line of scrimmage and raced down the field to catch up to the ball<br />

that was rolling quickly toward the end zone...Got in front of it to slap the<br />

ball back and away from the goal line, allowing CB Pat Lee to down it at<br />

the Minnesota 2-yard line, where they were faced with going the length of<br />

the field and were ultimately forced to punt.<br />

at San Diego Chargers (11/6): Appeared briefly on defense and on special<br />

teams but did not record any statistics.<br />

<strong>vs</strong>. Minnesota Vikings (11/14): Saw increased playing time with the defense<br />

employing its dime package on several passing downs...Defense limited<br />

Minnesota to just 16-of-34 passing for 190 yards and an INT, the lowest<br />

opponent QB rating (52.3) in the season’s first nine games...Also saw his<br />

normal action on special teams where he drew the difficult assignment of<br />

blocking Minnesota DE Everson Griffen, who serves as a gunner on the<br />

Vikings’ punt coverage team...Steered Griffen just enough to help create<br />

the lane used by WR Randall Cobb at the beginning of his 80-yard punt<br />

return TD early in the first quarter.<br />

<strong>vs</strong>. Tampa Bay Buccaneers (11/20): Saw time both on defense and special<br />

teams but did not record any statistics...Had the initial block on CB E.J.<br />

Biggers that sprung Cobb’s 55-yard punt return in the fourth quarter...<br />

Also downed a Masthay punt at the Buccaneers 9-yard line late in the third<br />

quarter.


at <strong>Detroit</strong> Lions (11/24): Had a season-high three tackles on special teams<br />

and also appeared briefly on defense, where he recorded an assisted<br />

tackle...Picked up two tackles in kickoff coverage and one on the punt<br />

team, helping Masthay down a season-high four punts inside the <strong>Detroit</strong><br />

20-yard line, forcing the Lions into an average starting position at their<br />

own 16-yard line following each of his five punts...Was a critical cog in<br />

limiting elusive WR Stefan Logan to just one punt return, a play that saw<br />

him drop the returner for a 2-yard loss.<br />

at New York Giants (12/4): Appeared on 12 defensive plays where he did not<br />

record any statistics, but was a force on special teams where as a gunner<br />

he helped keep the Giants from returning any of Masthay’s five punts<br />

and also downed a kick at the 1-yard line late in the third quarter...Helped<br />

Masthay be<strong>com</strong>e the first player in franchise history to land four or more<br />

punts inside the 20-yard line in back-to-back games since the statistic<br />

began being kept in 1976.<br />

<strong>vs</strong>. Oakland Raiders (12/11): Saw limited action on defense, but led the way<br />

with two tackles on the kickoff coverage team.<br />

at Kansas City Chiefs (12/18): Appeared on special teams, downing<br />

Masthay’s career-long 71-yard punt at the Kansas City <strong>17</strong>-yard line in the<br />

second quarter.<br />

<strong>vs</strong>. Chicago Bears (12/25): Helped key a special teams coverage performance<br />

that was an integral part of the Packers winning the field position<br />

battle by 150 yards during the game...Credited with a season-high four<br />

tackles on the coverage units, helping to contain the explosive WR Devin<br />

Hester to just a 23.4-yard average on five kickoff returns and a 3.5-yard<br />

average on two returnable punts...Made three tackles on kickoffs and one<br />

on the punt team, also downing a second-quarter Masthay punt at the<br />

Chicago 19-yard line.<br />

76 Chad Clifton, T, 12th Year, Tennessee<br />

2011 Season: Veteran protector who has climbed the franchise’s alltime<br />

list for games played and service time over the course of his 12-year<br />

career...Opened each of the first five games at his familiar LT post providing<br />

his usually superb pass protection as a critical piece to an offense that<br />

led the <strong>NFL</strong> in scoring through five games (34.6 ppg avg) and ranked No.<br />

4 in total offense...Suffered a significant hamstring injury on the offense’s<br />

second possession of the <strong>Week</strong> 6 game at Atlanta (Oct. 9) and has not<br />

played since.<br />

<strong>vs</strong>. New Orleans Saints (9/8): Became just the fourth offensive lineman in<br />

franchise history to have appeared in 160 games, starting his 155th at LT<br />

for 312 yards and three TDs...Had a good set against DE Junior Galette on<br />

Rodgers’ 32-yard TD pass to WR Randall Cobb late in the first quarter, and<br />

was part of a line that allowed just two sacks in 37 dropbacks with both<br />

at Carolina Panthers (9/18): Had another solid performance as part of a<br />

protection unit that yielded just one sack in 30 dropbacks and helped<br />

clear the way for a 400-yard output...Was matched primarily against DE<br />

Charles Johnson for most of the game...Sealed the backside with his block<br />

of Johnson on RB James Starks’ game-long 40-yard run in the third quarter...Also<br />

had sound protection against the noted pass rusher on Rodgers’<br />

84-yard TD pass to WR Jordy Nelson late in the fourth quarter...Also had<br />

a good set against DE Greg Hardy on Rodgers’ 39-yard hookup with TE<br />

Jermichael Finley near the start of the second quarter...Hardy tried to beat<br />

him with an inside move, but the veteran held him off, allowing Rodgers<br />

time to scan the secondary and throw deep downfield.<br />

at Chicago Bears (9/25): Helped create a consistent pocket against an<br />

attacking Chicago front seven led by perennial Pro Bowl DE Julius<br />

Peppers...Helped limit Peppers to just one sack on 40 passing plays as<br />

the OL surrendered only two total during the game...Sustained a bull rush<br />

from Peppers that allowed Rodgers time to find TE Jermichael Finley for a<br />

24-yard gain early in the second quarter...Also made a good block on DE<br />

Israel Idonije on RB Ryan Grant’s game-long 14-yard run early in the fourth<br />

early in the second quarter.<br />

<strong>vs</strong>. Denver Broncos (10/2): Saw most of his snaps opposite DE Elvis<br />

Dumervil and pitched a shutout against the noted pass rusher, limiting him<br />

to just one tackle and no sacks on the afternoon...Part of a protection unit<br />

that helped the offense to a 500-yard performance and six scoring drives<br />

en route to a 49-23 victory, the highest single-game scoring output by a<br />

Green Bay team since 2005...Pinned Dumervil to the inside on a 16-yard<br />

run off by Starks off the left edge late in the first quarter...Also teamed with<br />

Lang to stay in front of Dumervil on Rodgers’ 50-yard TD pass to Nelson<br />

on the following play, the offense’s first TD of the game...Also worked with<br />

Lang to execute a <strong>com</strong>bination block on DT Kevin Vickerson on the backside<br />

of Starks’ game-long 22-yard run early in the fourth quarter.<br />

at Atlanta Falcons (10/9): Started the game, but sustained a hamstring<br />

injury on the offense’s second possession and did not return.<br />

18 Randall Cobb, WR, Rookie, Kentucky<br />

2011 Season: A dynamic talent who has made significant contributions<br />

both in the return game and as a WR in his rookie season... Was named<br />

a Pro Bowl alternate as a return man after serving as the team’s primary<br />

kickoff and punt returner this season...Is No. 2 in the <strong>NFL</strong> in kickoff return<br />

average through 15 games at 27.7 yards per attempt, having taken back<br />

34 kicks for 941 yards and a TD...Has returned 26 punts for 295 yards<br />

(11.3 avg.) and a TD, ranking No. 8 in the <strong>NFL</strong> in punt return average...<br />

Continues to create a role for himself amongst a deep, experienced receiving<br />

corps and has collected 25 catches for 375 yards (15.0 avg.) and a<br />

TD on offense...Became the first rookie in franchise history to record both<br />

a kickoff and punt return for a TD in a single season when he returned a<br />

punt 80 yards for a score in <strong>Week</strong> 10 <strong>vs</strong>. Minnesota...With the punt return,<br />

also became the first rookie since the AFL-<strong>NFL</strong> merger in 1970 to record<br />

both a 100-plus yard kickoff return and an 80-plus yard punt return in the<br />

same season.<br />

<strong>vs</strong>. New Orleans Saints (9/8): Exploded onto the <strong>NFL</strong> landscape with a memorable<br />

performance in his first professional game...Made two catches for<br />

35 yards and returned two kickoffs for 135 yards...Offensive performance<br />

was highlighted by a 32-yard catch-and-run TD from QB Aaron Rodgers<br />

late in the first quarter that staked Green Bay to a 21-7 lead...On the TD,<br />

admitted to having run the wrong route, a slant against S Roman Harper<br />

that saw him catch the ball over the middle at the 26-yard line before knifing<br />

up the seam...Put a move on S Malcolm Jenkins at the 15 and went<br />

aerial from the 4-yard line into the end zone, be<strong>com</strong>ing the first Packers<br />

WR to catch a TD pass in his first career game since Javon Walker did so<br />

on Sept. 8, 2002...On his KR-TD, caught the ball near the back of the end<br />

zone and advanced it beyond the 20-yard line where he spun out of a hit<br />

by CB Leigh Torrance...Nearly lost his footing but was held up by teammate<br />

FB John Kuhn...Fully returned to his feet and took off, going the rest<br />

of the way untouched for the score...Play tied former New England Patriot<br />

Ellis Hobbs’ (Sept. 9, 2007) <strong>NFL</strong> record for the longest kickoff return in<br />

league history...Became the first player since Bill Bowman of the <strong>Detroit</strong><br />

Lions on Sept. 26, 1954, (100-yard KO, 9-yard recept.) to score two TDs,<br />

one of them a kickoff return TD, in his <strong>NFL</strong> debut...Also marked Green<br />

Bay’s first KR-TD since CB Allen Rossum had one on Nov. 19, 2000, <strong>vs</strong>.<br />

Indianapolis (92 yards) and set the franchise record for distance previously<br />

held by Al Carmichael (106, <strong>vs</strong>. Chicago Bears, Oct. 7, 1956)...Became the<br />

first Green Bay player to have both a KR-TD and touchdown reception in<br />

the same game since Wuert Engelmann on Oct. 25, 1931...At 21 years,<br />

<strong>17</strong> days, also became the youngest <strong>NFL</strong> player to return a kickoff for a<br />

TD since the Chicago Bears’ Andy Livingston did so on Dec. 13, 1964 (20<br />

years, 53 days).<br />

at Carolina Panthers (9/18): Had two catches for 25 yards (12.5 avg.) in<br />

a reserve role on offense and was limited to just two kickoff returns for<br />

48 yards (24.0 avg.) on special teams...Fumbled his first kickoff return of<br />

the game after slamming into the back of teammate TE Ryan Taylor after<br />

an 18-yard return in the first quarter...Had a 30-yard return in the fourth<br />

quarter on his only other opportunity.


at Chicago Bears (9/25): Made one catch for 13 yards, a quick-hit throw<br />

from Rodgers at the snap that he advanced for a first down in the second<br />

quarter...Also returned five punts for 39 yards (7.8 avg.), including a<br />

career-long <strong>17</strong>-yarder late in the first quarter...Downed all four kickoffs he<br />

received for touchbacks.<br />

<strong>vs</strong>. Denver Broncos (10/2): Finished with two catches for 75 yards, including<br />

a career-long 61-yarder late in the third quarter...On the play, lined<br />

up in the right slot and ran vertically into a zone that featured LB Wesley<br />

Woodyard underneath and S Rahim Moore over the top...Hauled in a<br />

perfectly placed throw by Rodgers that cleared just over Woodyard’s<br />

head, broke a tackle by converging LB Joe Mays and was clear into the<br />

secondary...Briefly stumbled after breaking the tackle, allowing veteran S<br />

Brian Dawkins time to close and catch him down the field...Play marked<br />

the longest reception by a Packers rookie since WR James Jones’ 79-yard<br />

TD at Denver on Oct. 29, 2007...Joined Greg Jennings and Jordy Nelson<br />

as the first trio of Packers to each record 75 or more receiving yards in a<br />

game since Nov. 4, 2007, at Kansas City.<br />

at Atlanta Falcons (10/9): Tallied two catches for 26 yards (13.0 avg.), the<br />

first of which converted a key third down to keep the chains moving on<br />

the final play of the third quarter...Rodgers connected with Jennings on<br />

the ensuing first down for a 29-yard TD that extended the Packers’ lead to<br />

22-14 in an eventual 25-14 victory.<br />

<strong>vs</strong>. St. Louis Rams (10/16): Caught a swing pass behind the line of scrimmage<br />

touch of the game...Also had one kickoff return for 16 yards.<br />

at Minnesota Vikings (10/23): Had one catch for 7 yards and his first professional<br />

carry for 1 yard, but his biggest contribution came on special teams,<br />

where he overcame what was a muffed punt that Minnesota recovered<br />

in the second quarter to record his season-long 42-yard return early in<br />

the third...Started the return on the right side of the field, side-stepping<br />

CB Brandon Burton and then cutting all the way across to his left, just<br />

beyond the reach of LB Kenny Onatolu and up the sideline...Broke a tackle<br />

attempt by P Chris Kluwe before advancing and eventually being tackled<br />

out of bounds by DE Everson Griffen at the Minnesota 32-yard line...<br />

Rodgers would find TE Jermichael Finley four plays later for a 2-yard TD<br />

that extended the Packers lead to 27-<strong>17</strong> with 10:35 remaining in the third<br />

quarter...With the return, became the first rookie and just the third player in<br />

franchise history to record both a 100-yard kickoff and 40-yard punt return<br />

in the same season (Al Carmihcael, 1955; Roell Preston, 1998).<br />

yards (25.6 avg.) and saw his lone punt return go for 11 yards...Did not<br />

record any statistics on offense for the first time in his young career.<br />

<strong>vs</strong>. Minnesota Vikings (11/14): Made another tremendous splash in front of<br />

a national television audience...Following a three-and-out forced by the<br />

Green Bay defense on Minnesota’s opening possession, took the first<br />

punt of the game back 80 yards for a TD to give Green Bay a 7-0 lead with<br />

13:42 remaining in the first quarter...On the play, fielded the ball in the air<br />

outside of the left hashmark before darting to his right and then slashing<br />

diagonally upfield through a crease created by a handful of good blocks...<br />

Shed a late tackle attempt by a diving Onatolu, turning on the jets to outrun<br />

the remainder of the coverage unit to the end zone...Play made him the first<br />

rookie in team history to have both a kickoff and punt return TD in a season<br />

and was the first punt return for a TD by a Packer since CB Will Blackmon’s<br />

65-yarder at Minnesota on Nov. 9, 2008...The punt return was not his only<br />

special teams highlight, as he also returned a third-quarter kickoff 55 yards<br />

to set up a TD drive...Became the first <strong>NFL</strong> player to record both an 80-plus<br />

yard punt return and 55-plus yard kickoff return in the same game since<br />

WR Dante Hall did so on Dec. 8, 2002, and the first Packer to do so since<br />

RB Travis Williams on Nov. 2, 1969...Also saw his most extensive playing<br />

time of the season from scrimmage and recorded a season-high three<br />

catches for 36 yards (12.0 avg.).<br />

running first to his right before darting upfield...Cut diagonally across the<br />

hashmarks at the 25 yard-line, stepping through a diving tackle attempt<br />

by P Michael Koenen and exploding into the open field toward the right<br />

sideline before being tripped up by RB Kregg Lumpkin at the Tampa Bay<br />

30...Totaled with two punt returns for 69 yards (34.5 avg.) and three<br />

a drive that ended with a 38-yard FG by K Mason Crosby.<br />

absence of an injured Jennings (knee), and led the team with four catches<br />

for 53 yards (13.3 avg.)...Reception total was a season high...Also returned<br />

three kickoffs for 68 yards (22.7 avg.).<br />

<strong>vs</strong>. Chicago Bears (12/25): Made two catches for 22 yards (11.0 avg.) and<br />

was limited in the return game to just one punt (8 yards) and one kickoff<br />

return (34 yards) during the game.<br />

2011 Season: Three-time Pro Bowl defender who had embarked on<br />

yet another successful campaign in the secondary before suffering a<br />

season-ending neck injury in the second half of the team’s <strong>Week</strong> 2 game<br />

at Carolina (Sept. 18)...Placed on injured reserve Oct. 12...At the time of<br />

his injury, had posted 10 tackles (nine solo), a forced fumble and a pass<br />

came up and hit WR Marques Colston after a 12-yard gain, jarring the ball<br />

loose...Fumble was recovered by CB Tramon Williams at the New Orleans<br />

36-yard line and the Packers offense would need just six plays to score its<br />

second TD of the quarter, extending the lead to 14-0...Forced fumble was<br />

Collins’ first since Oct. 12, 2008, at Seattle...Also added a special teams<br />

tackle when he brought down FB Jed Collins after a 7-yard kickoff return.<br />

at Carolina Panthers (9/18): Secondary stalwart started and recorded three<br />

tackles (all solo) and a pass defensed, but was taken off the field on a<br />

stretcher after suffering a season-ending neck injury early in the fourth<br />

quarter...On the play, came up to stop RB Jonathan Stewart following a<br />

<strong>com</strong>pletion in the left flat...Stewart leaped over a fallen LB A.J. Hawk, and<br />

when Collins dove headfirst, the crown of his helmet awkwardly made<br />

contact with the runner’s backside and he fell motionless to the ground...<br />

Before the injury, had turned in one of his typically well-rounded performances,<br />

including on special teams where he contributed two tackles in<br />

kickoff coverage...Pass defensed came on the first play of the second<br />

quarter when he closed hard on a in-breaking route by WR Steve Smith<br />

and stepped in front of a QB Cam Newton pass, nearly making the INT in<br />

(Janikowski, 63)...Now has a pair of four-FG games in a season for just the<br />

good on all six PAT tries in a 45-38 Green Bay win...Also banged five<br />

professional career when he split the uprights from 31 yards out as time<br />

Philadelphia in his first career game on Sept. 9, 2007...Recovered from<br />

missing a 43-yard kick just before halftime and came on after QB Aaron<br />

his PAT attempts during the game...Also had a touchback and displayed a<br />

variation of kickoffs designed to help contain explosive returner WR Devin<br />

Hester...Limited Hester to just a 23.4-yard average on five returns and<br />

Chicago’s best starting position following a kickoff was its own 33-yard<br />

line...Efforts were instrumental in helping the Packers win the field position<br />

battle by 150 yards.<br />

free agent in 2009...Has appeared in all 15 games with three starts, seeing<br />

his first career start <strong>com</strong>e at the N.Y. Giants in <strong>Week</strong> 13 (Dec. 4)...Saw<br />

most of his time on special teams before an injury to RG Josh Sitton (knee)<br />

at <strong>Detroit</strong> in <strong>Week</strong> 12 thrust him into the offensive lineup.<br />

<strong>vs</strong>. New Orleans Saints (9/8) - <strong>vs</strong>. St. Louis Rams (10/16): Saw action on special<br />

teams as part of the protection unit for placements.<br />

at San Diego Chargers (11/6) - <strong>vs</strong>. Tampa Bay Buccaneers (11/20): Played on<br />

special teams.<br />

at <strong>Detroit</strong> Lions (11/24): Saw the most meaningful playing time from scrimamge<br />

of his young career when he came on in relief of an injured RG<br />

Josh Sitton late in the first half...Afforded himself well against a deep and<br />

talented <strong>Detroit</strong> front, and was involved in the game’s most memorable<br />

play in the third quarter when he found himself on the receiving end of a<br />

personal foul, unsportsmanlike conduct penalty called against standout<br />

Lions DT Ndamukong Suh...The penalty resulted in Suh’s ejection from the<br />

game and a first-and-goal for Green Bay that resulted in a 1-yard TD by FB<br />

John Kuhn two plays later...Also did a good job of selling a run fake and<br />

made a block on DT Nick Fairley on QB Aaron Rodgers’ 65-yard play-action<br />

TD to WR James Jones later in the third quarter.<br />

at New York Giants (12/4): Made his first career start in a hostile road environment<br />

against a deep and talented Giants defensive line...Helped provide<br />

sufficient time for Rodgers to <strong>com</strong>plete 28-of-46 passes for 369 yards and<br />

four TDs, while the line yielded just two sacks during the game.<br />

<strong>vs</strong>. Oakland Raiders (12/11): Started at RG for the second consecutive week<br />

and fared well, helping the offense to eight scoring drives (four TDs, four<br />

with 136 yards on 24 carries (5.7 avg.)...Made a good block on DT John<br />

Henderson on RB Ryan Grant’s 16-yard carry in the third quarter, one of<br />

moved over to C lin relief of Scott Wells (coach’s decision) in the fourth<br />

quarter with Marshall Newhouse substituting at RG.<br />

at Kansas City Chiefs (12/18): Appeared in the game on special teams and<br />

on offense in the second half...Entered the game as a substitute at LG<br />

after regular starter T.J. Lang kicked out to RT to replace the injured<br />

Derek Sherrod (broken leg)...Sherrod was already in the game as an injury


eplacement for Bryan Bulaga (knee), who exited early in the third quarter.<br />

<strong>vs</strong>. Chicago Bears (12/25): Made his first career start at LG and had a<br />

<strong>com</strong>mendable performance against the Chicago front...Part of an OL that<br />

protected for five TD drives and did not allow Rodgers to be sacked during<br />

the game...Made noteworthy blocks on some of the unit’s most impactful<br />

plays...The first came on the offense’s opening drive of the first quarter<br />

when he released on a designed screen pass and made a late of shove of<br />

DE Julius Peppers to help spring Grant’s career-long 32-yard reception...<br />

Also blocked out on LB Nick Roach to help spring Grant’s game-long<br />

24-yard run in the third quarter...Two plays later, helped sell a play-action<br />

run fake to his side and then walled off Peppers to allow Rodgers to find<br />

WR Jordy Nelson for a 55-yard TD that pushed the Green Bay lead to<br />

21-10.<br />

Spent the first five weeks of the regular season on the practice squad and<br />

was signed to the active roster on Oct. 12 to provide depth at both the<br />

guard and tackle positions.<br />

<strong>vs</strong>. St. Louis Rams (10/16): Was active on gameday, but was one of three<br />

players who did not appear in the game.<br />

<strong>vs</strong>. New Orleans Saints (9/8): Started at WR and made four catches for<br />

41 yards (10.3 avg.), tying WR James Lofton for the franchise’s all-time<br />

receiving yardage record with 9,656 career yards...With his second reception<br />

of the game, an 8-yard grab in the first quarter, he became the first<br />

player in franchise history to record 700 career catches and just the 33rd<br />

player in <strong>NFL</strong> history to reach the mark...A member of the ‘hands’ team,<br />

used his still exceptional leaping skills to snare an onside kick attempt by<br />

K John Kasay with 2:15 remaining in the game to preserve the possession<br />

for Green Bay.<br />

at Carolina Panthers (9/18): Became the franchise’s all-time receiving yardage<br />

leader with a 10-yard reception in the third quarter...Thought he had<br />

taken ownership of the record two plays previously, but had a 14-yard<br />

catch called back due to a holding at the line of scrimmage...Helped preserve<br />

the victory for the second consecutive week when as a member of<br />

the onside kick return team, he leapt to snag a high onside kick by K Olindo<br />

Mare and actually returned it five yards...The Packers kneeled on the ball<br />

on the ensuing play to win the game 30-23.<br />

X-rays...Returned to the game at the start of the second half, and scored<br />

his 54th career receiving TD to extend the Packers lead to 49-<strong>17</strong> late in<br />

the final period...On the play, wiggled between LB Wesley Woodyard and<br />

S Rahim Moore, making himself small between their zones and going to<br />

the ground to catch a bullet from Rodgers for his first TD of the season...<br />

Joined Greg Jennings, James Jones and Jordy Nelson as the first WR<br />

quartet in franchise history to each record a TD in a game, the first group<br />

to do so in the <strong>NFL</strong> since the 1991 season.<br />

at Atlanta Falcons (10/9): Battled back from the injury suffered the previous<br />

week and started at WR, recording one catch for 5 yards.<br />

<strong>vs</strong>. St. Louis Rams (10/16): Overcame an early drop to finish second on the<br />

team with three catches for 25 yards (8.3 avg.) and the 55th TD reception<br />

of his career just before halftime...On the TD, lined up in the left slot from<br />

the 7-yard line...Was double-covered in the end zone by S Craig Dahl and<br />

point in the season, catching four passes for 72 yards (18.0 avg.), including<br />

his season-long 35-yard catch-and-run that converted a third-and-long<br />

in the third quarter...The play made him just the second player in franchise<br />

history to eclipse the 10,000 total yards from scrimmage plateau, joining<br />

RB Ahman Green (11,048)...Also had a 19-yard catch in the third quarter to<br />

convert a third-and-10, as three of his four catches went for first downs...<br />

Drew a pass interference against CB E.J. Biggers to give the offense a firstand-goal<br />

for the third-most receiving TDs in franchise history (57)...First TD capped<br />

an 11-play, 80-yard drive late in the second quarter...Scored on a 13-yard<br />

floater from Rodgers in the right side of the end zone when a blown coverage<br />

left him all alone on a corner route, giving the Packers a 21-<strong>17</strong> lead<br />

just before halftime...Second TD came when he fought free from CB Corey<br />

Webster in the corner of the end zone and worked his way back toward<br />

Rodgers, catching the ball against the sideline and barely getting his feet<br />

down...Play was reviewed and upheld and gave Green Bay a 35-27 lead...<br />

five plays later to extend the Green Bay lead to 28-10...Also made a good<br />

block downfield on CB Charles Tillman on RB Ryan Grant’s career-long<br />

32-yard catch-and-run on a screen pass on the game’s opening drive,<br />

2011 Season: An athletic, explosive playmaker who was named a Pro<br />

Bowl alternate in 2011 after returning to the field following a seasonending<br />

knee injury in 2010...Presents matchup problems for opposing<br />

coordinators and players alike given his exceptional size and speed, and<br />

has at times be<strong>com</strong>e the focus of opposing defensive schemes during the<br />

2011 season...Has started 12 of 15 games and ranks third on the team with<br />

48 catches, and has set new single-season career highs with 703 yards<br />

at Carolina Panthers (9/18): Led the team in receiving with five catches for<br />

68 yards (13.6 avg.) on the afternoon...Made four of his catches for 51<br />

yards on the team’s 11-play, 80-yard TD drive early in the second quarter,<br />

their first scoring series of the game...Two of them kept the chains moving<br />

on critical third downs, including his long catch of 39 yards deep down<br />

the field...On the play, a third-and-7 from the Green Bay 23, released<br />

vertically up the seam into an eight-man zone coverage, but broke off his<br />

route to work back to the right side of the field toward Rodgers...Caught<br />

the ball in front of S Jordan Pugh for a 39-yard gain, his longest reception<br />

in the regular season since a 62-yard TD at Minnesota, 10/5/09...Nearly<br />

had another of his acrobatic TDs on a fade pattern in the end zone in the<br />

third quarter, leapt to secure the ball over CB Captain Munnerlyn, but did<br />

not control the ball all the way through after hitting the ground, and it was<br />

ruled in<strong>com</strong>plete.<br />

at Chicago Bears (9/25): Started and finished with seven catches for 85<br />

yards (12.1 avg.) and a career-high three TDs against the rival Bears...<br />

Became just the second TE in franchise history to catch three TD passes<br />

Bay...<strong>Game</strong> marked the second multi-TD game of his career (<strong>vs</strong>. Baltimore,<br />

12/7/09)...First TD came on the team’s opening drive of the game when<br />

he was split out wide to the left of the formation...Chicago was flagged for<br />

offsides, but he stuck with his route, freezing S Brandon Meriweather with<br />

a juke move near the goal line, and cutting to the inside to haul in a 6-yard<br />

throw from Rodgers to give Green Bay the early lead...Had his game-long<br />

24-yard catch <strong>com</strong>e on a back-shoulder throw early in the second quarter<br />

when he was motioned out wide to the right and ran vertically against<br />

S Craig Steltz...Two plays later, cashed in for his second TD to put the<br />

Packers up 14-0...On that play, lined up in the right slot and thought it was<br />

a called run...Came off the ball attempting to block LB Lance Briggs, but<br />

looked back to see Rodgers scrambling to his side and disengaged from<br />

Briggs just in time to make a diving catch at the goal line, falling into the<br />

end zone...Final TD came early in the fourth quarter when he was again<br />

split out wide to the right, releasing inside of CB Tim Jennings on a fade<br />

to the end zone...Caught the ball behind Steltz, who was late getting over,<br />

to extend the Packers lead to 27-10...Five of his seven receptions in the<br />

game went for 10 yards or more, and the only two that did not were his 6<br />

and 7-yard TDs...Now has 21 catches for 270 yards (12.9 avg.) and three<br />

TDs in his last three games against Chicago.<br />

<strong>vs</strong>. Denver Broncos (10/2): Started the game and despite not having a gaudy<br />

statistical performance - three catches for 28 yards (9.3 avg.) - his presence<br />

was felt as the focus of Denver’s defensive game plan from a coverage<br />

standpoint...Drew a double team that allowed WR Greg Jennings to go<br />

uncovered and untouched for a <strong>17</strong>-yard TD just before halftime...On the<br />

play, lined up wide to the right opposite CB Cassius Vaughn, but attracted<br />

help in the form of S Brian Dawkins who charged too far over to the sideline,<br />

allowing Jennings a free path to the end zone down the seam...Also<br />

showed his continued refinement of chip-blocking techniques, leveling DE<br />

Elvis Dumervil before going out on his route on a third-and-13 during the<br />

opening drive of the second half...On the play, Rodgers found WR James<br />

Jones for a gain of 18 yards on what was an eventual TD drive...Finley was<br />

awarded the ‘Big Hit’ honor for the week from the coaching staff for his<br />

effort on the play.<br />

at Atlanta Falcons (10/9): Had an up-and-down day from a receiving stand<br />

point, but hung tough and finished tied for second on the team with four<br />

catches for 67 yards (16.8 avg.)...Three of his four catches went for first<br />

downs on third-down plays, two of them third-and-longs.<br />

<strong>vs</strong>. St. Louis Rams (10/16): Started and finished with one catch for 20 yards,<br />

a reception he made on the offense’s opening drive of the game...Also<br />

helped create the hole used by RB James Starks on his game-long 15-yard<br />

run on a fourth-and-1 early in the second quarter...Pushed S Quintin Mikell<br />

to the outside, creating a large hole through left tackle for Starks to convert<br />

the first down...Rodgers hit WR James Jones on the following play for a<br />

35-yard TD.<br />

at Minnesota Vikings (10/23): Held to just two catches for 13 yards, but<br />

scored his fourth TD in the third quarter, ultimately the difference in a<br />

33-27 Green Bay win...On the TD, lined up tight to the formation along<br />

the line of scrimmage on the right side and ran an out route against LB<br />

E.J. Henderson, mirroring a scrambling Rodgers, who had rolled right<br />

to escape pressure...Used his speed and athletic ability to separate from<br />

Henderson just enough to make a diving catch of Rodgers’ throw just in<br />

front of the end line in the back of the end zone for the TD...Is now one shy<br />

of tying his single-season career high for TDs.<br />

at San Diego Chargers (11/6): Started and tied for second on the offense<br />

with five catches for 44 yards (8.8 avg.), and his career-high tying fifth TD<br />

catch of the season (also had five in 2009)...TD capped the Packers’ first<br />

possession of the game, <strong>com</strong>ing on the first play after a pass interference<br />

call gave Green Bay the ball first-and-goal from the San Diego 5-yard line...<br />

Motioned to be split out to the right and was matched 1-on-1 with S Steve<br />

Gregory...Turned to gain position for the ball that was thrown to his back<br />

shoulder, and beat the safety on a jump-ball fade to tie the score at 7-7.<br />

<strong>vs</strong>. Minnesota Vikings (11/14): Posted a team-high 67 receiving yards on<br />

three catches (22.3 avg.)...First catch was a 25-yarder that converted a<br />

fourth-and-5 with the offense just beyond FG range...Also hauled in a<br />

31-yard pass from QB Matt Flynn in the fourth quarter that set up a TD<br />

three plays later to extend the lead to 45-7, the game’s final score.<br />

<strong>vs</strong>. Tampa Bay Buccaneers (11/20): Finished with one catch for 30 yards...On<br />

the play, turned to adjust to the ball in the air,hauling it in behind S Corey<br />

Lynch and securing it tightly to his body with one arm on the way to the<br />

ground...The offense would score three plays later to extend the lead to<br />

21-10 late in the second quarter.<br />

at <strong>Detroit</strong> Lions (11/24): Made two catches for 38 yards (19.0 avg.)...Saw his<br />

game-long 26-yard reception <strong>com</strong>e on the second play of the third quarter<br />

when he was split out to the left and matched in single coverage against S<br />

wrestling the ball away near midfield, sparking what was eventually an<br />

11-play, 77-yard TD drive.<br />

at New York Giants (12/4): Placed second on the team with six catches for<br />

87 yards (14.5 avg.) and his career-high sixth TD...Reached the 600-yard<br />

mark in the season’s 12th game, joining Paul Coffman as just the second<br />

TE in team history to record two 600-yard seasons (also had 676 yards<br />

in 2009)...Saw his TD <strong>com</strong>e on a 12-yard play that capped the offense’s<br />

second drive of the first quarter...On the play, turned a quick-out vertically<br />

on what was a second-reaction play that saw Rodgers rolling to his right...<br />

Went low to catch a bullet from Rodgers before diving forward into the end<br />

zone to tie the score at 7-7...Also threw a decleating “thump” block on DE<br />

Dave Tollefson on a fourth-quarter play that allowed Rodgers to roll out<br />

and hit WR Jordy Nelson for a 13-yard gain and first down...Saw five of his<br />

six catches result in first downs or TDs and his critical 24-yard gain on the<br />

first play of the offense’s final possession of the fourth quarter enabled and


ignited the drive that resulted in a 31-yard game-winning FG by K Mason<br />

Crosby as time expired.<br />

<strong>vs</strong>. Oakland Raiders (12/11): Started the game and was the focus of heavy<br />

coverage throughout, not registering a reception...Was productive as a<br />

blocker, staying in on a pass in the second quarter to help LT Marshall<br />

Newhouse hold off LB Kamerion Wimbley, allowing Rodgers time to find<br />

Nelson for a 37-yard TD...Also executed a well-sustained block against<br />

Wimbley on RB Ryan Grant’s 6-yard TD in the second quarter to extend<br />

the Packers’ lead to 31-0.<br />

at Kansas City Chiefs (12/18): Overcame early drops in the first half to finish<br />

as the team’s leading yardage receiver, netting 83 yards on three catches<br />

(27.7 avg.)...Made each of his grabs in the second half and surpassed his<br />

previous career high for single-season yardage (676)...Made an excellent<br />

adjustment with the ball in the air to pull down his season-long 41-yard<br />

reception to the Kansas City 7-yard line in the third quarter...The offense<br />

would score three plays later on a 2-yard pass from Rodgers to WR Donald<br />

avg.) and his seventh TD of the season...Scored the game’s first TD,<br />

capping the offense’s 9-play, 80-yard opening drive of the first quarter<br />

on a 2-yard quick slant...On the play, was lined up wide to the left in<br />

man-coverage against LB Nick Roach...At the snap, released quickly to<br />

the inside to gain position and caught a rocket from Rodgers in front of<br />

LB Brian Urlacher and Steltz...Catch marked his fourth TD of the season<br />

against Chicago, the most by a Green Bay TE against an opponent in a<br />

season in franchise history and he became the first TE to ac<strong>com</strong>plish the<br />

feat since San Diego’s Antonio Gates did the same against Kansas City<br />

during the 2005 season.<br />

10 Matt Flynn, QB, 4th Year, Louisiana State<br />

Finished the game with four tackles (three solo) and made an outstanding<br />

play to record his first career INT in the third quarter...Had given up short<br />

of K Mason Crosby’s 16 successful FG attempts to start the 2011 season,<br />

a Packer this season...Second TD came from 6 yards out in the second<br />

32-yard catch-and-run off of a screen pass on the game’s opening drive...<br />

Galette, who was still trailing the play.<br />

at Carolina Panthers (9/18): Listed as a gameday inactive after suffering an<br />

Achilles injury in practice on Sept. 16.<br />

at Chicago Bears (9/25): Inactive.<br />

its starters...Carried three times for 11 yards (3.7 avg.), ripping off an<br />

8-yard run through the left side on his first carry.<br />

65-yard exclamation point that extended the Packers’ lead to 21-0 in the<br />

third quarter...On the play, ran a post against CB Brandon McDonald, as<br />

Rodgers ran a play-action fake to RB Ryan Grant, drawing up S Chris<br />

Harris and all three <strong>Detroit</strong> LBs...Gained a stride on McDonald and caught<br />

the ball inside the <strong>Detroit</strong> 40, cutting across the field diagonally, outrunning<br />

the trailing defenders to the end zone...Became the fourth player on<br />

the team to eclipse the five-receiving TD plateau in 2011, just the second<br />

time in franchise history that a Green Bay team ac<strong>com</strong>plished that feat, and<br />

is the only player on the current roster to have scored at least five TDs in<br />

14-3 lead...On the scoring play, beat CB Zackary Bowman on a quick slant<br />

at the line of scrimmage for his career-high sixth TD of the season...Helped<br />

set up the TD by catching a deep-in earlier in the drive, running across the<br />

middle after separating from CB Charles Tillman in man-coverage, then cut<br />

diagonally up the field for a 32-yard gain that gave Rodgers claim to the<br />

franchise’s single-season passing yardage record...Also beat Bowman for<br />

12-play, 75-yard drive and extending the lead to 28-10.<br />

2011 Season: Steady, veteran utility player who was named as the NFC’s<br />

starter for the Pro Bowl this season, the first selection of his career...<br />

Became the first Green Bay FB to earn the honor since William Henderson<br />

into the end zone for his seventh career rushing TD...Also added two<br />

receptions for seven yards...On special teams, made one of the plays of<br />

the game when he helped keep WR Randall Cobb from hitting the ground<br />

after spinning out of a hit on a third quarter kick return...Held Cobb up and<br />

redirected his balance, allowing him to advance the ball another 70-plus<br />

yards for a TD, tying the <strong>NFL</strong> record with a 108-yard KR-TD.<br />

at Carolina Panthers (9/18): Started at FB and made his typically impactful,<br />

had a pair of good blocks on explosive plays...The first came on


RB James Starks’ 40-yard jaunt in the third quarter...Out of a three-man<br />

backfield with TE Tom Crabtree also serving as a FB, led the way through<br />

the right side of the line, covering up LB Thomas Davis and allowing Starks<br />

to make his way into the secondary untouched...On Rodgers’ 84-yard TD<br />

pass to WR Jordy Nelson late in the fourth quarter, stayed in to block on<br />

TD, his third rushing TD of the season and ninth of his career...Made a<br />

his highest since <strong>Week</strong> 9 of 2010 when he ran the ball 13 times against<br />

at Kansas City Chiefs (12/18): Started for the third time, carrying twice<br />

without gaining a yard...Also had one catch, an 11-yard reception off of a<br />

70 T.J. Lang, G, 3rd Year, Eastern Michigan<br />

2011 Season: First-year starter at LG regarded as a physical player with<br />

good athleticism and the nastiness required to play on the interior at the<br />

pro level...Has held his own in the first 15 games of 2011, blocking for the<br />

league’s No. 1-ranked scoring offense (34.3 ppg.), No. 4 yardage offense<br />

(395.5 ypg.) and No. 1-rated passer (122.5).<br />

<strong>vs</strong>. New Orleans Saints (9/8): Made his first career start at LG, also his first<br />

start at any position since late in the 2009 season when he filled in at LT...<br />

Had a solid performance up front, helping the unit generate 399 yards of<br />

total offense and score 35 of the team’s 42 points, the second most in a<br />

season opener in franchise history...Made one of his better plays in protection<br />

when he picked up a blitzing LB Jonathan Casillas to allow QB Aaron<br />

Rodgers time to hit WR Randall Cobb for a 32-yard catch-and-run TD<br />

later in the first quarter...Also executed a good block on RB James Starks’<br />

<strong>17</strong>-yard TD run in the second quarter, quickly making his way out to the<br />

second level to account for LB Jonathan Vilma, allowing Starks additional<br />

time to break tackles and score.<br />

at Carolina Panthers (9/18): Fared well on the interior for the second<br />

consecutive week, helping protect for another 300-yard passing day by<br />

Rodgers and a 5.9-yard average per carry in the running game...Made a<br />

sound block on NT Sione Fua on Starks’ game-long 40-yard carry in the<br />

third quarter...C Scott Wells passed Fua off and he successfully spun him<br />

away from the play, allowing Starks to <strong>com</strong>e through the line untouched.<br />

at Chicago Bears (9/25): Helped clear the way for a 392-yard output,<br />

producing a balance between both run and pass against the formidable<br />

Chicago defense...Line allowed just two sacks of Rodgers in 40 dropbacks<br />

and also created consistent running lanes for RB Ryan Grant to rush for<br />

92 yards on <strong>17</strong> carries (5.4 avg.)...Made an excellent block at the second<br />

level on LB Lance Briggs on Grant’s game-long 14-yard run early in the<br />

yards of total offense and six TD drives en route to a 49-23 victory over<br />

and also blocked for a healthy 4.0-yard average per carry in the run game...<br />

Had a pair of blocks on Starks’ game-long 22-yard run early in the fourth<br />

quarter, starting in <strong>com</strong>bination with Clifton against DT Kevin Vickerson<br />

and extending to the LB level to block LB Von Miller, freeing Starks into<br />

the secondary.<br />

at Atlanta Falcons (10/9): Helped maintain continuity for an OL that played<br />

most of the game with young backups at each of the tackle positions due<br />

to injuries to starters Bryan Bulaga and Clifton...Admirable performance<br />

allowed Rodgers to <strong>com</strong>plete 26-of-39 for 396 yards and two TDs in a<br />

<strong>com</strong>e-from-behind 25-14 road win over the Falcons...Had a nice play in<br />

protection when he teamed with Wells to block DT Peria Jerry on Rodgers’<br />

70-yard TD pass to WR James Jones...Also contributed to another scoring<br />

play when he walled off DT Jonathan Babineaux on Rodgers’ 29-yard TD<br />

pass to WR Greg Jennings on the first play of the fourth quarter.<br />

<strong>vs</strong>. St. Louis Rams (10/16): Had yet another sound day in protection, allowing<br />

Rodgers to throw for 300 yards and three TDs while only being<br />

sacked once on the afternoon...Blocked out on DE James Hall, allowing LT<br />

Marshall Newhouse to pick up a blitzing LB Chris Chamberlain on Rodgers’<br />

career-long 93-yard TD to WR Jordy Nelson in the second quarter...Play<br />

marked the fourth longest <strong>com</strong>pletion in team history.<br />

at Minnesota Vikings (10/23): Had one of his better games against a talented<br />

Vikings front, allowing Rodgers time to eclipse the 300-yard passing plateau<br />

for the sixth time in seven games while also recording the secondhighest<br />

passer rating of his career (146.5)...Part of an offensive line that<br />

helped burn the final 2:30 off the game clock in the fourth quarter with a<br />

“four-minute” situational drive that saw Starks gain 55 yards on six carries...Sealed<br />

the backside with a block on LB Erin Henderson on Starks’<br />

15-yard burst on the first play of the drive, one that also featured runs of<br />

20 and 13 yards before the Packers kneeled on the ball...Also served on<br />

the protection unit for all four of K Mason Crosby’s FG attempts, including<br />

his franchise record 58-yarder in the third quarter.<br />

at San Diego Chargers (11/6): Helped key an efficient offensive effort that<br />

netted 31 points on five scoring drives...Allowed Rodgers time to <strong>com</strong>plete<br />

21-of-26 for 247 yards and four TDs, his <strong>NFL</strong> record eighth consecutive<br />

game with a 110-plus QB rating...Got great movement on DT Tommie<br />

Harris, pushing him well to the right on Starks’ game-long 20-yard carry<br />

off LG in the second quarter...On Rodgers’ 25-yard scramble late in the<br />

second quarter, started by blocking DT Tommie Harris to the inside and<br />

then helped RG Josh Sitton on DT Cam Thomas, freeing the QB for the<br />

third-longest rush of his career.<br />

<strong>vs</strong>. Minnesota Vikings (11/14): Part of another impressive effort by an<br />

offense that netted 38 points and put together a streak of four consecutive<br />

TD drives in the second half...Allowed Rodgers to <strong>com</strong>plete 23-of-30<br />

attempts for 250 yards and four TDs, be<strong>com</strong>ing just the second QB in<br />

league history to post three consecutive games (min. 15 attempts) with a<br />

140-plus passer rating (140.1).<br />

<strong>vs</strong>. Tampa Bay Buccaneers (11/20): Helped control the Tampa front, as the<br />

line allowed just two sacks during the game...Allowed Rodgers to break the<br />

<strong>NFL</strong> record with his 10th consecutive 110-plus rating game, as he guided<br />

five TD drives to help the offense meet its league-leading scoring average<br />

and outscore Tampa en route to a 35-26 victory.<br />

at <strong>Detroit</strong> Lions (11/24): Helped silence an aggressive, powerful <strong>Detroit</strong><br />

front, allowing Rodgers to <strong>com</strong>plete 22-of-33 for 307 yards and be<strong>com</strong>e<br />

the first QB in <strong>NFL</strong> history to post a 100-plus QB rating in 11 straight<br />

games...Offensive line allowed just one negative yardage sack (the other<br />

was a zero-yard scramble) and helped Green Bay mount a 24-0 lead<br />

through three quarters...Help sell the run-fake and the maintain his set<br />

against DT Corey Williams on Rodgers’ 65-yard play-action TD pass to WR<br />

James Jones that extended the lead to 21-0 in the third quarter.<br />

at New York Giants (12/4): Had a solid day in protection against a deep<br />

and talented Giants defensive line, allowing Rodgers to <strong>com</strong>plete 28-of-<br />

46 attempts for 369 yards and four TDs in a hostile road environment...<br />

Rodgers set single-season franchise records for 300-yard games (eight)<br />

and three or more TD passes (nine) and was sacked just twice during<br />

the game...Identified and made a good pick-up of a blitzing LB Jacquian<br />

Williams on Rodgers’ 20-yard TD throw to Jennings that capped an<br />

11-play, 80-yard TD drive to open the second half.<br />

<strong>vs</strong>. Oakland Raiders (12/11): Part of a protection unit that helped pave<br />

the way for eight scoring drives (4 TD, 4 FG) and 391 yards of offense,<br />

highlighted by a 136-yard rushing total that tied the offense’s season high<br />

through 13 games...Made a block on S Mike Mitchell on the offense’s first<br />

play of the game, helping to spring Grant for a 47-yard TD run, the longest<br />

gain on a carry by a Green Bay player in 2011...Also teamed with Wells to<br />

block DT Desmond Bryant on Rodgers’ 37-yard TD pass to Nelson in the<br />

second quarter, a scoring strike that was the QB’s 39th of the season, tying<br />

the franchise’s single-season record.<br />

at Kansas City Chiefs (12/18): Started the game at LG, but shifted to RT in<br />

the second half following injuries to both Bulaga (knee) and Derek Sherrod<br />

(leg)...Was his first action at RT since early in the 2009 season.<br />

<strong>vs</strong>. Chicago Bears (12/25): Started at RT for the first time since <strong>Week</strong> 10<br />

of 2009 with Bulaga sidelined with the knee injury...The line did not allow<br />

Rodgers to be sacked and helped clear the way for five TD drives, all<br />

culminating with TD passes, a single-game career high for the QB that<br />

tied a franchise record...Also made a good set against DE Israel Idonije on<br />

Rodgers’ 32-yard <strong>com</strong>pletion to Jones late in the second quarter...On the<br />

play, Rodgers set the single-season franchise record for passing yardage<br />

and the offense would score five plays later to extend the lead to 14-3<br />

before halftime.<br />

beginning of the return...Also appeared on the coverage units but did not<br />

record any statistics.<br />

at Carolina Panthers (9/18): Appeared on special teams, notching his first<br />

at Chicago Bears (9/25): Made two tackles in kickoff coverage and was<br />

awarded a special teams game ball as he helped limit the Bears returners<br />

team on the team’s first kickoff of the first quarter, forcing his way into the<br />

return path of WR Devin Hester who tried to hurdle him and was tackled<br />

by LB Robert Francois...Following the Packers final TD early in the fourth<br />

quarter, covered the ensuing kickoff and came through clean to drop WR<br />

Johnny Knox at the Chicago <strong>17</strong>-yard line after only a 13-yard return...Also<br />

saw his first scrimmage action of the season on the final three plays of the<br />

game when LB Clay Matthews was removed (coach’s decision).<br />

<strong>vs</strong>. Denver Broncos (10/2): Inactive (shoulder).<br />

special teams, where he is now tied for the team lead with a career-high 12<br />

tackles on the coverage units.<br />

<strong>vs</strong>. New Orleans Saints (9/8): Saw most of his playing time on special<br />

teams, but was also used on 12 defensive snaps late in the game following<br />

an injury to CB Tramon Williams (shoulder)<br />

at Carolina Panthers (9/18): Played exclusively on special teams and did not<br />

record any statistics.<br />

at Chicago Bears (9/25): As a gunner in punt coverage, played a critical role<br />

Masthay at the Chicago 2-yard line late in the third quarter.<br />

<strong>vs</strong>. Denver Broncos (10/2): Appeared in the game on special teams, making<br />

two tackles in kickoff coverage, and also playing an integral role on a successful<br />

surprise onside kick attempt late in the first quarter...On the play,<br />

charged forward from the right side of the kickoff formation, effectively<br />

blocking S Quinton Carter and knocking him far enough backwards that<br />

WR Jordy Nelson was able to secure the ball and retain possession for<br />

Green Bay...The offense went 53 yards in seven plays for a TD to extend<br />

the lead to 21-3.<br />

at Atlanta Falcons (10/9): Appeared in the game, strictly on special teams<br />

and shared a tackle on Atlanta’s lone punt return.<br />

<strong>vs</strong>. St. Louis Rams (10/16): Appeared in the game on special teams but did<br />

at Minnesota Vikings (10/23): Made his fourth coverage tackle of the season<br />

as a gunner on the punt team late in the first quarter...Beat CB Asher Allen<br />

down the field, allowed CB Marcus Sherels to field the ball cleanly, but<br />

closed instantly to wrap the returner up at the Minnesota 10-yard line...<br />

The Vikings were also flagged for an illegal block on the play, backing their<br />

drive origin up to their own 5-yard line...Also down Masthay’s 64-yard punt<br />

at the Minnesota 2-yard line later in the fourth quarter after CB/S Jarrett<br />

Bush swatted the ball backwards to keep it from going into the end zone...<br />

The negative field position had a direct effect on Minnesota’s drive, one<br />

that ultimately ended with a punt that allowed Green Bay to run out the<br />

remaining clock.<br />

at San Diego Chargers (11/6): Appeared in the game on special teams but<br />

did not record any statistics.<br />

<strong>vs</strong>. Minnesota Vikings (11/14): Help key a dominant special teams performance,<br />

penalized for a personal foul just before halftime and was disqualified from<br />

the game.<br />

at New York Giants (12/4): Played on special teams and although he did not<br />

add to his tackle total, he played a critical role as a punt-team gunner,<br />

consistently beating blockers down the field and helping to keep the Giants<br />

from returning any of Masthay’s five punts...Masthay became the first<br />

player in franchise history to land four or more punts inside the 20-yard<br />

line in back-to-back games since the stastic began being recorded in 1976.<br />

<strong>vs</strong>. Oakland Raiders (12/11): Appeared on special teams but did not record<br />

quarter...On the play, tackled CB Javier Arenas at the Kansas City 20-yard<br />

line following a 9-yard return.<br />

<strong>vs</strong>. Chicago Bears (12/25): Delivered an excellent performance on special<br />

four punts land inside the 20-yard line.<br />

8 Tim Masthay, P, 2nd Year, Kentucky<br />

2011 Season: Second-year specialist who appears to have found his<br />

groove in the second half of 2011, similar to his strong finish down the<br />

stretch in 2010...Has had more limited opportunities this season given<br />

the success of the <strong>NFL</strong>’s top scoring offense, but has punted 51 times<br />

for 2,330 yards, a 45.7-yard gross average (38.3-yard net), dropping 22<br />

inside the 20.<br />

<strong>vs</strong>. New Orleans Saints (9/8): Punted four times for <strong>17</strong>0 yards and a 42.5-<br />

yard average, but saw his net numbers decimated by a 72-yard TD return<br />

by RB Darren Sproles...With 1:16 remaining in the fourth quarter, had a<br />

near-perfect end-over-end kick caught by CB/S Jarrett Bush at the NO<br />

1-yard line, but Bush’s foot was touching the goal line and the play was<br />

ruled a touchback.<br />

at Carolina Panthers (9/18): Punted three times for 116 yards (38.7 avg.,<br />

35.0 net), with a long of 47...Pinned the Panthers at their own 13-yard line<br />

on a second quarter punt that was fair caught by WR Armanti Edwards...<br />

Kick was his first to be downed inside the 20-yard line on the young season<br />

and the ensuing drive resulted in an INT by CB Charles Woodson.<br />

at Chicago Bears (9/25): Had a productive day, limiting Chicago to just two<br />

returns, while having three punts downed and forcing a fair catch...Used<br />

mostly Aussie-style kicks, emphasizing hang time to allow the coverage<br />

unit time to get down the field to contain the explosive Devin Hester...<br />

In total, punted six times for 229 yards (38.2 avg.) and a net average of<br />

33.2...His lone inside-the-20 kick came in the third quarter when CB Pat<br />

Lee downed a 45-yarder at the Chicago 2-yard line.<br />

<strong>vs</strong>. Denver Broncos (10/2): Due to the offensive profiency that resulted in<br />

six TD drives, was limited to a regular-season career-low one punt for 49<br />

yards.<br />

at Atlanta Falcons (10/9): Punted twice, only one of which was returned<br />

by explosive Pro Bowl return man Eric Weems, who gained just 3 yards<br />

on his lone attempt...Other kick was fair caught by Weems at the Atlanta<br />

16-yard line, beginning a drive that ultimately resulted in an INT for Green<br />

Bay...Also served flawlessly as the holder for K Mason Crosby’s careerhigh<br />

tying four FGs, including his franchise record-tying 56-yarder in the<br />

third quarter.<br />

<strong>vs</strong>. St. Louis Rams (10/16): Punted five times for 222 yards (44.4 avg.),<br />

including a then career-long 67-yarder in the fourth quarter that was the<br />

longest by a Green Bay player since Jon Ryan’s 72-yarder <strong>vs</strong>. <strong>Detroit</strong> on<br />

Dec. 30, 2007...First punt was downed inside the St. Louis 20-yard line for<br />

a fair catch in the first quarter...Also recorded his first special teams tackle<br />

of the season when he took down WR Austin Pettis after a 39-yard return<br />

early in the fourth quarter.<br />

at Minnesota Vikings (10/23): Set career highs in both gross (59.3) and net<br />

(55.3) averages (min. three attempts), landing a season-high three punts<br />

inside the 20-yard line, helping to limit Minnesota to an average starting<br />

position at their own 20 on 11 possessions...Net average was the highest<br />

by a Packer with three or more attempts since the <strong>NFL</strong> began tracking net<br />

punting average in 1976...Was also the highest gross average by a Green<br />

Bay punter with three or more attempts since Don Chandler’s 59.7 mark<br />

on Oct. 10, 1965...Longest kick of the game was his 65-yarder early in<br />

the fourth quarter...Most critical of his kicks was a 64-yarder that came<br />

late in the fourth quarter when the Packers punted from their own 34-yard<br />

line holding a narrow 33-27 advantage...Masthay had to rush to get the<br />

ball off as it was nearly blocked by DE Everson Griffen...Boomed the ball<br />

deep in Vikings territory and benefited from a roll that took it all the way<br />

to the Minnesota 2-yard line where they were forced to start a drive that<br />

ultimately ended in a punt and was the last time they possessed the ball.<br />

at San Diego Chargers (11/6): Was not asked to punt until the fourth quarter,<br />

but again came through when called upon, with two attempts for 108


yards, a 54.0 avg. (42.5 net)...Got both kicks off in the face of intense pressure<br />

as San Diego attempted to fight their way back late in the contest...<br />

Also held for Crosby’s successful 47-yard FG.<br />

<strong>vs</strong>. Minnesota Vikings (11/14): Punted twice for 99 yards (49.5 avg., 43.0<br />

net), limiting Minnesota to just 13 return yards.<br />

<strong>vs</strong>. Tampa Bay Buccaneers (11/20): Had three punts for 163 yards (54.3<br />

avg., 42.3 net), landing one inside the 20 and seeing one roll through the<br />

end zone for a touchback...Also recorded his first career carry, tucking<br />

the ball to keep it from being blocked on the Packers’ first possession<br />

of the game...On the play, LB Jacob Cutrera came free on a rush, forcing<br />

Masthay to pull it down and run...Cutrera punched the ball out, but<br />

Masthay recovered it in stride and advanced 6 yards for a first down...<br />

The offense assumed the possession and scored a TD 10 plays later to<br />

take an early 7-0 lead...Had his final punt downed by CB/S Jarrett Bush at<br />

the Tampa Bay 9-yard line late in the third quarter, his eighth kick to land<br />

inside the 20 in 2011.<br />

at <strong>Detroit</strong> Lions (11/24): Punted five times for 207 yards (41.4 avg., 37.8<br />

net), dropping a season-high four punts inside the <strong>Detroit</strong> 20-yard line,<br />

a key factor in the Packers winning the game’s field position battle by<br />

more than 150 yards...Average starting position for the Lions following his<br />

five punts was their own 16-yard line and he was instrumental in limiting<br />

explosive return man WR Stefan Logan to just one return that resulted in<br />

a 2-yard loss.<br />

at New York Giants (12/4): Earned NFC Special Teams Player of the <strong>Week</strong><br />

honors for the second time in his career after punting five times for 221<br />

yards (44.2 avg., 44.2 net), landing four of his kicks inside the 20-yard<br />

line for the second consecutive week, and not allowing the Giants a single<br />

return...Became the first punter in franchise history to drop four or more<br />

punts inside the 20 in back-to-back games since the statistic began being<br />

recorded in 1976...<strong>Game</strong> marked the second time in his career that he did<br />

not allow a return (at Atlanta, Nov. 28, 2010, two att.)...The Giants’ average<br />

starting position following his five punts was at their own 13-yard line and<br />

their possessions that followed his punts ended with an INT, three punts<br />

of their own and a FG...Best kick came late in the third quarter when his<br />

49-yard boot was downed by Bush at the Giants’ 1-yard line.<br />

<strong>vs</strong>. Oakland Raiders (12/11): Was limited to just one attempt as the offense<br />

engineered eight scoring drives (four TD, four FG) during the game...First<br />

true attempt was a safety punt after QB Matt Flynn was sacked in the end<br />

zone in the fourth quarter...Ball traveled 57 yards and was returned by RB<br />

Rock Cartwright for no gain...Lone punting attempt went 40 yards and was<br />

downed...Also held for each of Crosby’s season-high tying four FGs and<br />

five PAT attempts.<br />

at Kansas City Chiefs (12/18): Punted five times for 267 yards (53.4 avg.,<br />

46.2 net), dropping three inside the 20 and seeing his career-long 71 yard<br />

kick <strong>com</strong>e in the second quarter...The gross and net averages were both<br />

career highs (min. four attempts) and ranked No. 4 and No. 3 respectively<br />

in franchise history (since 1976)...Also drew a roughing the kicker penalty<br />

on WR Jeremy Horne, extending the Packers’ opening drive of the game<br />

with a fresh set of downs.<br />

<strong>vs</strong>. Chicago Bears (12/25): Had four punts for <strong>17</strong>6 yards (44.0 avg., 42.3<br />

net), landing three of them inside the 20 and helping to limit the always<br />

dangerous Hester to just two returns for 7 yards (3.5 avg.)...Also had<br />

punts downed at the 10 and 19-yard lines, holding the Bears’ to an average<br />

starting position following his four kicks at their own 16 and playing<br />

a key role in helping the Packers win the overall field position battle by<br />

150 yards.<br />

52 Clay Matthews, LB, 3rd Year, Southern California<br />

2011 Season: Dynamic All-Pro defender, voted a Pro Bowl starter for<br />

the the NFC for the second consecutive season, be<strong>com</strong>ing the first Packer<br />

since RB John Brockington to be named to the all-star team in each of<br />

his first three professional seasons...Has continued to punish opposing<br />

offenses in 2011, both as a pass rusher, against the run at the line of<br />

scrimmage and in coverage where he has set new career highs with three<br />

INTs and nine passes defensed...Has started all 15 games at LOLB and<br />

has 69 tackles (49 solo), while also leading the team with six sacks and a<br />

career-high three forced fumbles.<br />

<strong>vs</strong>. New Orleans Saints (9/8): Started at his familiar LOLB post, recording<br />

five tackles (three solo, one for loss), and was a integral part of a shortyardage<br />

defensive stand to help preserve a victory in the season opener<br />

for the second consecutive year...Was also credited with five QB hits and<br />

a pressure by the coaching staff...Tackle for loss came on an impressive<br />

play when he beat what was a designed double team...Got a strong initial<br />

punch on RT Zach Strief, freeing himself up to bounce TE David Thomas<br />

backwards and then met RB Mark Ingram in the backfield for a 2-yard<br />

loss...Forced a turnover on downs late in the third quarter when he made a<br />

move to beat Strief, penetrating the backfield and teaming with DE Jarius<br />

Wynn to pressure QB Drew Brees into throwing the ball away on fourth<br />

down...On the game’s final play, got clear of T Charles Brown and fought<br />

off a block from Thomas to lay the initial hit on Ingram at the goal line...Got<br />

help from S Morgan Burnett, stopping Ingram’s progress as time expired<br />

and preserving the win.<br />

at Carolina Panthers (9/18): Finished the game with seven tackles (four<br />

solo, one for loss), a sack and a pass defensed, again making one of the<br />

game’s more impactful plays when he forced a turnover on downs with a<br />

critical tackle in the fourth quarter...Fourth-down stop came with Carolina<br />

threatening for the game-tying score inside the Green Bay 10-yard line...<br />

On fourth-and-4, spun his way toward the back of the pocket, forcing QB<br />

Cam Newton to step forward...Disengaged from a block by RT Byron Bell<br />

as Newton stepped up to run, chasing the QB down and tackling him after a<br />

3-yard gain, short of the first down...The Packers assumed possession and<br />

on the second play of the ensuing drive, QB Aaron Rodgers hit WR Jordy<br />

Nelson for an 84-yard TD to extend the lead to 30-16...Was credited with a<br />

zero-yard sack when in the fourth quarter, he played a containment technique<br />

designed to keep the elusive Newton in the pocket...Chased the QB<br />

to the sideline where he was run out of bounds for no gain...Saw his pass<br />

defensed <strong>com</strong>e in the third quarter when he jumped up at the line of scrimmage<br />

to knock down a Newton pass intended for TE Jeremy Shockey...<br />

The next play, a third-and-long, Newton was intercepted by S Morgan<br />

Burnett...Part of a stingy red-zone defense that yielded just two TDs in six<br />

trips, stuffed a stretch run to his side early in the first quarter...On the play,<br />

fought off a block from Shockey and dropped RB DeAngelo Williams for a<br />

loss of two yards at the Green Bay 15, forcing a FG two plays later...Was<br />

not awarded the sack but was the first to pressure Newton when he came<br />

free on a third-down rush in the second quarter...The QB spun away from<br />

him, but slipped and was touched down by LB Desmond Bishop for a loss<br />

of 13 yards that forced a punt.<br />

at Chicago Bears (9/25): Despite not recording a sack, was a menace<br />

against the run from the opening whistle and was one of the most active<br />

members of a front seven that limited Chicago to 13 yards on 12 rushing<br />

attempts (1.1 avg.), tied for the fourth-lowest single-game net yardage<br />

total in franchise history....Was credited with five tackles (all solo, four for<br />

loss) and six QB hits...Set the tone for what was a dominating performance<br />

up front when on the Bears’ first play from scrimmage, he shot off the ball<br />

unblocked into the backfield, slipping past and beating pulling LG Chris<br />

Williams inside to engulf RB Matt Forté for a 1-yard loss...Also beat RT<br />

Frank Omiyale to the inside to help trip up Forté four plays later, teaming<br />

with Bishop for another 1-yard loss...Later in the first quarter, similar to<br />

the first play of the game, immediately identified a run and exploded across<br />

the line unblocked, again beating a pulling Williams and TE Kellen Davis<br />

to wrap up Forté and slam the RB for a 4-yard loss...Early in the fourth<br />

quarter, stunted between C and RG, drawing a holding penalty against RG<br />

Chris Spencer...Two plays later, chased QB Jay Cutler out of bounds after<br />

a 2-yard gain to force a third-and-long and a subsequent punt on fourth<br />

down.<br />

<strong>vs</strong>. Denver Broncos (10/2): Credited with three tackles (one solo) and four<br />

QB hits despite once again being the focus of Denver’s various protection<br />

schemes...Late in the third quarter, finally came free on a rush when he<br />

invaded the pocket before RB Knowshon Moreno could get over to pick<br />

him up...Just missed QB Kyle Orton, who stepped up at the last moment,<br />

but was ultimately sacked by Bishop for a loss of 8 yards.<br />

at Atlanta Falcons (10/9): Did not trigger the sack column, but once again<br />

made significant contributions that helped dictate the positive out<strong>com</strong>e<br />

of the game...Tallied four tackles (three solo) and four QB hits, helping


to shut out the Falcons throughout the second half, limiting them to just<br />

251 total yards for the game...With Green Bay trailing 14-3 in the second<br />

quarter, drew a holding call against RT Tyson Clabo that negated a 47-yard<br />

<strong>com</strong>pletion from QB Matt Ryan to WR Harry Douglas...The penalty forced<br />

a third-and-20 and the Falcons punted two plays later, the start of Green<br />

Bay’s <strong>com</strong>eback...Clabo was also flagged later in the third quarter for an<br />

illegal use of the hands that extended a third-and-2 to a third-and-12 and<br />

led to a punt...Registered one of his QB hits on Charlie Peprah’s fourthquarter<br />

INT, when he stunted inside of RG Garrett Reynolds and pressured<br />

Ryan into putting too much on the ball, allowing Peprah to tip it to himself<br />

and secure it for a critical turnover late in the game.<br />

<strong>vs</strong>. St. Louis Rams (10/16): Credited with two tackles (one solo), a careerhigh<br />

three passes defensed and his second sack of the season in the<br />

team’s 24-3 defeat of St. Louis...Also drew a holding call on TE Michael<br />

Hoomanawanui on a rush by RB Steven Jackson in the first quarter,<br />

that extended the down and distance on a drive that resulted in a punt...<br />

Recorded his first pass defensed when he dropped in coverage against TE<br />

Lance Kendricks in the first quarter...Broke hard on QB Sam Bradford’s<br />

throw and nearly intercepted the ball in the right flat, but was shoved by<br />

Kendricks at the last moment, jarring the ball out of his grasp...Second<br />

pass break-up came late in the second quarter on a blitz when he penetrated<br />

the middle of the line and deflected a Bradford pass intended for<br />

WR Brandon Gibson...Made his career-high third deflection late in the third<br />

quarter when he jumped at the line after bull-rushing RT Jason Smith and<br />

batted down another Bradford pass...Registered his first sack since <strong>Week</strong><br />

2 on the Rams’ final drive of the game after he lined up on the inside and<br />

darted past LG Jacob Bell to drop Bradford for a 7-yard loss that resulted<br />

in a turnover on downs and allowed Green Bay to run out the remaining<br />

clock.<br />

at Minnesota Vikings (10/23): Tallied six tackles (all solo, two for loss) and<br />

picked up his second sack in as many weeks on a second-down rush late<br />

in the second quarter...On the sack, used his speed to get past RT Phil<br />

Loadholt and then dipped his shoulder to turn the corner, chasing down<br />

QB Christian Ponder for a 2-yard loss to force a third-and-12 and ultimately<br />

a FG attempt...Saw his pass defensed <strong>com</strong>e when he rushed unblocked off<br />

the line of scrimmage, closing on a scrambling Ponder, who was rolling<br />

to his right...Leapt and deflected the thrown ball, nearly intercepting it...<br />

Made another impressive tackle for loss against the run when he shot in<br />

well-before pulling G Steve Hutchinson could get to him and dropped RB<br />

Adrian Peterson for a 5-yard loss on the first play of the fourth quarter.<br />

at San Diego Chargers (11/6): Finished with one tackle and four QB hits,<br />

despite being double-teamed on a significant number of his rushes...One<br />

of his hits came after he used an excellent spin move to beat RG Louis<br />

Vasquez on an inside rush that forced QB Philip Rivers into an intentional<br />

grounding in the fourth quarter...On the very next play, used a delayed rush<br />

and pressured Rivers again, forcing him to throw the ball away on third<br />

down, resulting in a punt.<br />

<strong>vs</strong>. Minnesota Vikings (11/14): Posted six tackles (five solo) and registered<br />

a season-high two sacks, the sixth multi-sack game of his career...Sacked<br />

QB Christian Ponder on the Vikings’ opening drive of the game, also jarring<br />

the ball loose, but it was recovered by Minnesota...Second sack came in<br />

the third quarter when he ripped his way past Loadholt and chased Ponder<br />

before slamming him down for an 11-yard loss on a drive the ended with<br />

a turnover on downs...Moved into a second-place tie with LB Tim Harris<br />

for the most sacks by a Green Bay player in his first three seasons in the<br />

<strong>NFL</strong> (28.5) and needs only one more to tie LB Tony Bennett (29.5) for the<br />

most in team history.<br />

<strong>vs</strong>. Tampa Bay Buccaneers (11/20): Had a relatively quiet day by his standards,<br />

starting at LOLB and finishing with two solo tackles...Made a nogain<br />

stop of RB LeGarrette Blount on a fourth-quarter carry, fighting clear<br />

of TE Luke Stocker to touch the RB down at the line of scrimmage.<br />

at <strong>Detroit</strong> Lions (11/24): Finished with five tackles (four solo), two passes<br />

defensed and his second career INT...First pass defensed came on an<br />

impressive awareness play in the second quarter when he rushed off the<br />

right edge, but saw the LG, LT and RB releasing behind him into the flat...<br />

Quickly retreated backwards and jumped to knock down a high throw by<br />

QB Matthew Stafford that was intended for RB Maurice Morris, forcing<br />

a punt...On the Lions’ next possession, dropped in coverage against TE<br />

Brandon Pettigrew and charged forward after DE/NT Ryan Pickett deflected<br />

Stafford’s pass high into the air...Matthews stormed beneath it, catching it<br />

in the air and falling forward for a 7-yard return...Play marked his second<br />

career INT, gave him a new career high for passes defensed in a season<br />

(seven), and set up the Green Bay offense to score the game’s first points<br />

two plays later, making the score 7-0...Drew a holding call on Pettigrew on<br />

the second series of the first quarter when he overpowered the TE on his<br />

way to the QB, a penalty the pushed Lions out of FG range and forced a<br />

punt two plays later...Also made a no-gain stop on a run by Morris late in<br />

the third quarter, shooting between RT and TE to take down the back as he<br />

approached the line of scrimmage.<br />

at New York Giants (12/4): Had arguably his best all-around performance<br />

of the season, making the kind of game-changing plays that have defined<br />

his young career with the Packers...Finished with three tackles (two solo),<br />

and forced two turnovers with a sack-fumble and his career-high second<br />

INT...Became the first Packers LB since Nick Barnett in 2003 to record an<br />

INT in back-to-back games when he intercepted QB Eli Manning on the<br />

first play of the second quarter, returning it 38 yards for a TD, his second<br />

career INT-TD...On the play, drifted back from the LOLB position at the line<br />

and the showed great instinct and acceleration by darting forward toward<br />

the sideline, stepping in front of Manning’s pass intended for RB Ahmad<br />

Bradshaw...Caught the ball in stride and went untouched down the sideline<br />

to give Green Bay its first lead, 14-10...With the return, became the first<br />

player in franchise history to score a defensive TD (fumble or INT return)<br />

in each of his first three seasons in the league and he is already tied with<br />

Mike Douglass for first place in franchise history for TD returns among<br />

LBs...Later in the quarter, recorded his sixth sack of the season when he<br />

fought past RT Kareem McKenzie and hit Manning, forcing the ball out as<br />

the QB cocked his arm back to release it...Appeared to be an in<strong>com</strong>plete<br />

pass, but NT B.J. Raji picked up the ball and upon review it was ruled a<br />

fumble, robbing the Giants of yet another possession.<br />

<strong>vs</strong>. Oakland Raiders (12/11): Finished with three tackles (one solo) and a QB<br />

hit...On the game’s opening possession, shot inside of TE Kevin Boss and<br />

flushed QB Carson Palmer out of the pocket to his right, pressuring him<br />

into a throw that was intercepted by LB D.J. Smith...The offense scored on<br />

the first play of the subsequent possession to give Green Bay an early 7-0<br />

lead...Also fought off a block by FB Manase Tonga, teaming with Smith to<br />

drop RB Michael Bush at the line of scrimmage for no gain on Oakland’s<br />

second possession.<br />

at Kansas City Chiefs (12/18): Posted a season-high nine tackles (six solo)<br />

and a QB hit...Stayed home on an end around to RB Dexter McCluster in<br />

the second quarter, forcing the elusive RB to the inside where Smith and<br />

DE C.J. Wilson tackled him for a 1-yard loss...Also maintained close coverage<br />

on McCluster on a third-down red-zone play in the fourth quarter,<br />

tackling him at the Packers’ 2-yard line to force a FG.<br />

<strong>vs</strong>. Chicago Bears (12/25): Once again made a series of impactful plays<br />

during the game, finishing with eight tackles (six solo, one for loss), a QB<br />

hit, a forced fumble and added to his career high with his third INT of the<br />

season...Tackle for loss and forced fumble came when he blew up a second-quarter<br />

screen pass from QB Josh McCown to RB Kahlil Bell...On the<br />

play, had dropped in coverage but diagnosed the screen, racing forward<br />

and slipping past G Chris Spencer to hit Bell for a 3-yard loss and jar the<br />

ball loose, but it was recovered by McCown...Six plays later in the drive,<br />

he made another turnover play when he noticed FB Tyler Clutts releasing<br />

behind him into the right flat...Stepped back from his rush and jumped to<br />

intercept McCown who tried to <strong>com</strong>plete it to the FB, adding to his career<br />

total with his third INT of the season.<br />

96 Mike Neal, DE, 2nd Year, Purdue<br />

2011 Season: Powerful physical specimen who flashed immense potential<br />

in brief action as a rookie in 2010, suffered a knee injury during training<br />

camp and made his 2011 regular-season debut in <strong>Week</strong> 11 <strong>vs</strong>. Tampa Bay<br />

(11/20)...For the season, has appeared in six games and has made five<br />

drill during training camp.<br />

at Carolina Panthers (9/18): Inactive...Underwent surgery on his injured<br />

knee during the week and was ruled out for the game.<br />

at Chicago Bears (9/25) - <strong>vs</strong>. Minnesota Vikings (11/14): Inactive.<br />

<strong>vs</strong>. Tampa Bay Buccaneers (11/20): Made his awaited 2011 season debut,<br />

appearing on defense, most often as a situational rusher on passing<br />

downs, but did not record any statistics.<br />

at <strong>Detroit</strong> Lions (11/24): Saw action in a reserve role on defense for the second<br />

consecutive game, doubling his snap count from the previous week,<br />

87 Jordy Nelson, WR, 4th Year, Kansas State<br />

2011 Season: Ascending fourth-year receiver who in 2011, has emerged<br />

as one of the most consistent, dangerous weapons in the offense’s wideopen<br />

vertical passing attack and was voted an alternate for the Pro Bowl<br />

this season...Has developed a knack for the big play and his 18.7-yard<br />

average per reception ranks No. 1 in the <strong>NFL</strong> among players with more<br />

than 40 catches...Has already tied the single-season franchise record by<br />

posting two TDs of more than 80 yards...Has appeared in all 15 games<br />

with eight starts and set career highs in every major statistical category...<br />

Ranks second on the team with 59 catches, and leads the way with both<br />

1,101 yards and 12 TDs.<br />

<strong>vs</strong>. New Orleans Saints (9/8): Picked up close to where he left off in Super<br />

Bowl XLV, making a regular-season career-high six catches for 77 yards<br />

and a TD...Set the tone early with a game-long 36-yard catch on the<br />

offense’s opening drive to set up a TD three plays later...With S Roman<br />

Harper blitzing, got an outside release in one-on-one coverage against CB<br />

Patrick Robinson and ran a ‘go’ route vertically up the left sideline...Gained<br />

just enough separation to haul in a perfect pass from QB Aaron Rodgers<br />

for what was the Packers’ longest <strong>com</strong>pletion of the game...On the following<br />

possession, found a soft spot in an 8-man coverage and caught a<br />

3-yard TD in front of Harper in the right side of the end zone to put Green<br />

Bay ahead 14-0, his seventh career TD catch in the regular season...Also<br />

was on the field for WR Randall Cobb’s <strong>NFL</strong> record-tying 108-yard KR-TD<br />

and executed a continuous side-by-side block on Harper for almost the<br />

entire final third of the return.<br />

at Carolina Panthers (9/18): Made his lone reception a memorable one,<br />

with a career-long 84-yard catch-and-run TD in the waning minutes of the<br />

fourth quarter as the Packers tried to preserve a narrow 23-16 lead...With<br />

2:26 remaining, responded to an audible by Rodgers out of a running play,<br />

instead running a skinny post inside of CB Captain Munnerlyn, catching<br />

the ball near the hashes at the Green Bay 29-yard line, before cutting to<br />

the outside past S Sherrod Martin who had lost his footing early in the<br />

play...Raced ahead of the two trailing defenders, but was nearly caught<br />

by Munnerlyn at the Carolina 25, before getting an assist in the form of<br />

a tremendous block by Jennings and ran the rest of the way to extend<br />

the lead to 30-16, the ultimate difference in the game...Play marked his<br />

second 80-plus yard TD in his last four regular season games (80-yd TD<br />

<strong>vs</strong>. New York Giants, 12/26/10), and was third of Rodgers’ career to span<br />

that distance.<br />

at Chicago Bears (9/25): Registered three catches for 40 yards (13.3 avg.),<br />

two of which went for first downs...Long catch of 18 yards converted a<br />

third-and-7 in the second quarter on a drive that ended with a 37-yard FG<br />

by K Mason Crosby.<br />

<strong>vs</strong>. Denver Broncos (10/2): Finished second on the team with five catches for<br />

91 yards and his career-high third TD of the season against the Broncos...<br />

Kicked off what an impressive scoring performance by the offense with the<br />

team’s first TD late in the first quarter...On the play, a first-and-10 from<br />

midfield, came in motion from left to right and on a play-action bootleg,<br />

got past both CB Cassius Vaughn and S Brian Dawkins running to the post,<br />

catching a perfectly placed ball from Rodgers at the 2-yard line and going<br />

into the end zone for the 50-yard score...Joined Jennings and Cobb as<br />

the first Packers trio to each post 75 or more receiving yards in the same<br />

game since Nov. 4, 2007, at Kansas City...Joined Driver, Jennings and<br />

Jones as the first Green Bay WR foursome to each score a TD in a single<br />

game, marking the first time it had been done by any team since the 1991<br />

season...Also impacted the game on special teams when as a part of the<br />

kickoff coverage team, he recovered a surprise onside kick following CB<br />

Charles Woodson’s 30-yard INT-TD late in the first quarter...Lined up wide<br />

to the right of the kickoff formation, <strong>com</strong>ing off the ball to camp under a<br />

high kick by K Mason Crosby...Made sure he was the requisite 10 yards<br />

from the 35-yard line point of origin and secured the ball at the 46-yard<br />

line...Green Bay would take full advantage of the additional possession,<br />

marching 53 yards in seven plays for a TD to extend the lead to 21-3.<br />

at Atlanta Falcons (10/9): Finished with three catches for <strong>17</strong> yards (5.7<br />

avg.).<br />

<strong>vs</strong>. St. Louis Rams (10/16): Became the first player in the <strong>NFL</strong> to post two<br />

80-plus yard TD catches in 2011 with a career-long 93-yard catch-and-run<br />

in the second quarter...Added another catch later in the game to finish with<br />

two for 104 yards (52.0 avg.) and the TD...On the play, lined up wide to<br />

the left of the formation, releasing to the inside of veteran CB Al Harris...<br />

Executed a double-move when he faked to the inside to bluff a slant in<br />

concert with a Rodgers pump-fake that drew Harris, and then took off<br />

vertically to the outside...Slowed to catch the underthrown ball at the Green<br />

Bay 34, cutting inside of converging S Darian Stewart who then collided<br />

with a pursuing Harris, taking both players off of their feet and sending<br />

Nelson off to the races for the fourth-longest <strong>com</strong>pletion in franchise history...Play<br />

made him the first player since the AFL-<strong>NFL</strong> merger in 1970<br />

to score three 80-plus yard TDs over an eight-game stretch dating back<br />

to his 80-yard TD in <strong>Week</strong> 16 of 2010 <strong>vs</strong>. New York...The game marked<br />

the second 100-yard outing of his career and his two 80-plus yard TDs<br />

in 2011 tied the franchise record for most in a single season...Now trails<br />

only Jennings (four) in the team record book for 80-plus yard TD catches<br />

in a career.<br />

at Minnesota Vikings (10/23): Tied for second on the team with four catches<br />

for 52 yards (13.0 avg.), with each reception going for a first down...Also<br />

drew a pass interference call against CB Cedric Griffin on a third-and-2 in<br />

the third quarter, resulting in a first down on a drive that culminated with a<br />

24-yard Crosby FG...Registered the first special teams tackle of his career<br />

on the game’s opening kickoff when he wrapped up explosive WR Percy<br />

Harvin at the Minnesota 27-yard line.<br />

at San Diego Chargers (11/6): Registered his second 100-yard effort in three<br />

games (third career), with five catches for a team-high 105 yards (21.0<br />

avg.) and a TD...Scored his fifth TD of the season to cap a two-minute drive<br />

at the end of the first half, making an excellent 16-yard catch of a low backshoulder<br />

throw to extend the Packers’ lead to 28-<strong>17</strong> just before halftime...<br />

Matched against CB Marcus Gilchrist along the right sideline, turned back<br />

to a whistling throw from Rodgers and went to the ground to secure the<br />

ball before rolling into the end zone...Posted his third 60-plus yard reception<br />

of the season on the offense’s second possession of the fourth quarter<br />

when he ran a double-move against Gilchrist and hauled in a 64-yard throw<br />

off of a play-action bootleg by Rodgers...Caught the ball near the 20-yard<br />

line and spun back to the outside, eluding defenders before being brought<br />

down at the 4-yard line...Two plays later, Rodgers found Jennings for a<br />

4-yard TD, pushing the lead to 45-24...Also drew a defensive pass interference<br />

on Gilchrist that setup the Packers’ first TD on the offense’s opening<br />

possession of the first quarter.<br />

<strong>vs</strong>. Minnesota Vikings (11/14): Made his fourth start of the season as part<br />

of a three WR set and led the team with five catches for 63 yards (12.6<br />

avg.) and two TDs, the first multi-TD game of his career...Yardage total<br />

helped him eclipse his previous career high for a season (582 in 2010)<br />

and the two TDs moved him into a tie with Jennings for the team lead<br />

with seven...First score from <strong>17</strong> yards out to cap the opening drive of the<br />

second half to extend Green Bay’s lead to 24-0...On the play, caught a pass<br />

from Rodgers at the line of scrimmage and then stiff-armed his way past<br />

CB Cedric Griffin, driving the defender to the ground before making his


way into the end zone...Second TD came as part of a broken play when he<br />

slipped away from defenders in the back left corner of the end zone and a<br />

scrambling Rodgers found him for a 4-yard score that made it 38-7 early<br />

in the fourth quarter.<br />

<strong>vs</strong>. Tampa Bay Buccaneers (11/20): Continued his torrid stretch by recording<br />

his third 100-yard receiving game in his last five contests, leading the<br />

team with six catches for a season-high 123 yards and two TDs...Scored<br />

his eighth and ninth TDs, giving him the most by a Packers WR other than<br />

Jennings since Javon Walker scored 12 in 2004...Scored his first TD on a<br />

slant from 5 yards out, catching a quick pass in front of standout CB Aqib<br />

Talib before powering forward into the end zone to extend the Green Bay<br />

lead to 21-10 just before halftime...Sealed the game with his 40-yard TD<br />

late in the fourth quarter, beating CB Myron Lewis down the left sideline<br />

to make it a two-possession game at 35-26, the game’s final score...On<br />

the play, looked back for a back-shoulder throw, but Rodgers had led him<br />

deeper down the field...Resumed the route quickly enough to get behind<br />

the DB and under the ball, going the rest of the way untouched, giving him<br />

his second multi-TD game in as many weeks...Became the first Packer to<br />

record multiple TD catches in back-to-back games since TE Tyrone Davis<br />

did so in 1998, and first WR to do it since Anotnio Freeman in 1996.<br />

at <strong>Detroit</strong> Lions (11/24): Placed second on the team with four catches for<br />

26 yards (6.5 avg.).<br />

at New York Giants (12/4): Eclipsed his previous single-season total for<br />

catches by adding four, tying for the team high with 94 yards (23.5<br />

avg) and a long gain of 33...Reception total gave him 48 for the season,<br />

surpassing his previous best of 45 in 2010...<strong>Game</strong> long 33-yard catch<br />

came on the Packers’ second possession of the first quarter when he<br />

ran a wheel route out of a bunch formation on the right side and made a<br />

terrific adjustment in the air to turn his body and catch a back-shoulder<br />

throw against CB Corey Webster...Also made a similarly acrobatic catch<br />

on a back-shoulder throw against CB Will Blackmon, somehow getting<br />

both feet down along the sideline to pick up 21 yards on a fourth-quarter<br />

drive that resulted in a TD two plays later...Most meaningful play came<br />

on the offense’s final drive of the game, one that started with 58 second<br />

remaining at the Green Bay 20-yard line...On the series’ second snap, ran a<br />

stop-and-go double-move against Blackmon along the left sideline, hauling<br />

in the pass from Rodgers and getting out bounds after a gain of 27 that<br />

moved the offense into FG range at the New York 29-yard line...Also filled<br />

in on special teams where he served as the safety on the kickoff coverage<br />

unit and recorded a career-high two tackles.<br />

<strong>vs</strong>. Oakland Raiders (12/11): Started the game and made three catches for<br />

a team-high 81 yards (27.0 avg.) and a TD, his team-leading 10th of the<br />

season...With the TD, became just the 11th player in franchise history to<br />

catch 10-plus TD passes in a season...First reception of the game came on<br />

the offense’s second possession when he ran a deep-in through the middle<br />

of an open zone, catching the ball from Rodgers between the hashes and<br />

slicing diagonally up the field for a 31-yard gain to convert a third down<br />

on an eventual TD drive...Scored on a 37-yard TD that extended the Green<br />

Bay lead to 24-0 early in the second quarter...On the play, ran vertically up<br />

the right sideline against man-coverage by CB Stanford Routt, passing the<br />

defender and then withstanding a late bump from him, lunging forward<br />

to catch the ball as he crossed the goal line and fell into the end zone...<br />

Became the third player in the <strong>NFL</strong> to reach the double-digit touchdown<br />

plateau in 2011, joining <strong>Detroit</strong> WR Calvin Johnson and New England<br />

TE Rob Gronkowski...Was also productive as a blocker in the run game,<br />

making an excellent block on the outside against CB Lito Sheppard to help<br />

spring RB Ryan Grant’s 47-yard TD scamper on the offense’s first play of<br />

the game.<br />

at Kansas City Chiefs (12/18): Started in place of an injured Jennings,<br />

who was sidelined with a knee injury suffered the week before against<br />

Oakland...Finished with two catches for 29 yards (14.5 avg.).<br />

<strong>vs</strong>. Chicago Bears (12/25): Started for the third consecutive week and<br />

caught a team-high six passes for 115 yards (19.2 avg.) and two TDs<br />

en route to surpassing the 1,000-yard receiving plateau for the first time<br />

in his career...<strong>Game</strong> marked his fourth 100-yard receiving game of the<br />

season...Second catch came on a <strong>17</strong>-yard stop route along the sideline<br />

that converted a third-and-7 during a two-minute drive late in the second<br />

quarter...Helped set up a 2-yard TD from Rodgers to Jones two plays<br />

later...Highlight play of the game came on the offense’s first possession of<br />

the second half, when on the fourth play of the drive, he caught a 55-yard<br />

TD from Rodgers to extend the lead to 21-10...Ran an excellent route on<br />

the play, lining up wide to the right and releasing inside of CB Charles<br />

Tillman...Ran vertically into the back end against what was a deep zone<br />

coverage being played by S Major Wright...Faked to the outside near the<br />

35-yard line before cutting hard back toward the post, separating from<br />

Wright and running underneath a rainbow from Rodgers that he caught<br />

at the 2-yard line and finished for the score...Marked the seventh time the<br />

Packers scored a TD on their first possession of the second half in 2011...<br />

Second TD came early in the fourth quarter when he capped a three play<br />

drive that came courtesy of an INT by S Charlie Peprah...Caught a 25-yard<br />

back-shoulder throw from Rodgers on the drive’s first play and then<br />

scored two plays later when he ran a quick slant from 2 yards out in front<br />

of CB Zackary Bowman, extending the lead to 35-10...With TDs 11 and<br />

12, became just the eighth player in franchise history to have 12-plus TD<br />

catches in a season...Also contributed as a blocker, making a good drive<br />

block downfield against Bowman on Grant’s game-long 24-yard burst off<br />

of left end in the third quarter.<br />

74 Marshall Newhouse, T, 2nd Year, Texas Christian<br />

2011 Season: Developing, naturally gifted young lineman who has performed<br />

well in more extended duty at both tackle positions when injuries<br />

have hit the offensive line...Has appeared in all 15 games, starting <strong>Week</strong>s<br />

4 and 5 at RT in the absence of Bryan Bulaga (knee) and now <strong>Week</strong>s 6-14<br />

at LT while veteran Chad Clifton nurses a significant hamstring injury...<br />

Switched to LT on the second series of <strong>Week</strong> 5 at Atlanta when veteran<br />

Clifton went down with the hamstring injury and looks to remain in the<br />

starting lineup throughout Clifton’s rehabilitation, having started his first<br />

pro game at LT <strong>vs</strong>. St. Louis in <strong>Week</strong> 6.<br />

<strong>vs</strong>. New Orleans Saints (9/8): Made his regular-season <strong>NFL</strong> debut after<br />

being listed as an inactive for the first 15 games of his rookie season<br />

before being placed on injured reserve...Dressed as the top backup at both<br />

T positions but saw action only on special teams as part of the placement<br />

protection units.<br />

at Carolina Panthers (9/18): Participated for the second consecutive<br />

week,but played only on special teams.<br />

at Chicago Bears (9/25): Came on in relief of an injured Bryan Bulaga eight<br />

minutes into the game and played the duration of the contest at RT, the<br />

first regular-season scrimmage action of his career...Acquitted himself well<br />

against an attacking Chicago front seven, helping the line allow just two<br />

sacks on what was a 392-yard day for the offense...On QB Aaron Rodgers’<br />

24-yard <strong>com</strong>pletion to TE Jermichael Finley early in the second quarter, he<br />

withstood a spin move by DE Nick Reed, holding his ground to maintain<br />

a clean pocket...Also played well in the run game, where RB Ryan Grant<br />

rushed for 92 yards on <strong>17</strong> carries (5.4 avg.)...Made a good block on DE<br />

Israel Idonije on a 13-yard Grant run in the second quarter.<br />

<strong>vs</strong>. Denver Broncos (10/2): Made his first career start in the absence of the<br />

injured Bulaga (knee), and drew the task of often facing rookie phenom<br />

Von Miller...Was able to neutralize Miller on several plays en route to the<br />

offense posting 507 net yards and six scoring drives en route to a 49-23<br />

defeat of the Broncos...Drove Miller wide and deep past the pocket creating<br />

part of what was a massive rushing lane between RG and RT for Rodgers<br />

to run through for his 11-yard TD early in the second quarter...Also had a<br />

good block on Miller on Rodgers’ 61-yard <strong>com</strong>pletion to WR Randall Cobb<br />

late in the third quarter...Also made a good block on DE Derrick Harvey on<br />

RB James Starks’ game-long 22-yard run in the fourth quarter, moving the<br />

defender wide to the right away fromt he hole.<br />

at Atlanta Falcons (10/9): Started at RT but made the difficult in-game<br />

switch to LT on the offense’s second possession when veteran LT Chad<br />

Clifton went down with a hamstring injury...Rookie Derek Sherrod came on<br />

at RT and Newhouse switched to LT, where he started 38 games as a collegian...The<br />

two young players played well given the hostile environment and<br />

difficult game circumstances (trailing 14-0, second quarter) in which they<br />

were forced to adjust...Consistent protection allowed Rodgers to <strong>com</strong>plete<br />

26-of-39 for 396 yards, the fourth-highest single-game passing output in


a road game in franchise history...Had a good set against DT Vance Walker<br />

on Rodgers’ 70-yard TD to WR James Jones in the third quarter that gave<br />

the Packers a 15-14 lead, their first of the contest.<br />

<strong>vs</strong>. St. Louis Rams (10/16): Made his first career start at LT in place of the<br />

injured Clifton, affording himself well yet again while often matched against<br />

veteran DE James Hall in what was another 300-yard/three-TD passing<br />

effort by Rodgers...On Rodgers’ 93-yard TD pass to WR Jordy Nelson<br />

in the second quarter, he pushed Hall to the inside at the snap and then<br />

fanned back to pick up a blitzing LB Chris Chamberlain, giving Rodgers<br />

time to <strong>com</strong>plete the ball deep down the field.<br />

at Minnesota Vikings (10/23): Started at LT and spent most of the game<br />

matched against <strong>NFL</strong> sack leader and noted pass rusher DE Jared Allen...<br />

Had an up-and-down day against the veteran Allen on the fast track of the<br />

Metrodome, but was not charged with any penalties and helped block for<br />

an offense that still netted 421 yards on 60 plays (7.0 avg.)...Line allowed<br />

Rodgers to <strong>com</strong>plete 24-of-30 for 335 yards and three TDs good for a<br />

146.5 QB rating, the second-highest of his career...Also contributed to the<br />

clock-killing, “four-minute” situational drive that helped seal the victory for<br />

Green Bay at the end of the fourth quarter...Helped clear the way for Starks<br />

to carry six times for 55 yards on the drive, burning all of Minnesota’s<br />

timeouts and the two-minute warning...Made a good backside block on<br />

Allen on Starks’ back-breaking 13-yard run that converted a third-and-7<br />

with 1:<strong>17</strong> to play, the clinched the win.<br />

at San Diego Chargers (11/6): Part of an OL that cleared the way for five<br />

scoring drives and 31 points despite a season-low eight possessions during<br />

the game...Allowed Rodgers time to <strong>com</strong>plete 21-of-26 attempts for<br />

247 yards and four TDs, his eighth consecutive game with a passer rating<br />

of more than 110 (145.8)...Also helped key a productive running game<br />

that netted 136 yards on 26 attempts (5.2 avg.)...Helped spring Starks on<br />

his game-long 20-yard carry in the second quarter by pinning LB Antwan<br />

Barnes to the inside, driving him past the hole, allowing the RB a clear path<br />

to the second level.<br />

<strong>vs</strong>. Minnesota Vikings (11/14): Started once again at LT, matched often<br />

against the dangerous Allen...Was able to control the talented DE enough<br />

to allow for six scoring drives and give Rodgers time to <strong>com</strong>plete to 23-of-<br />

30 for 250 yards and four TD passes...Rodgers’ rating of 140.1 made him<br />

just the second QB in <strong>NFL</strong> history to post three consecutive 140-plus rating<br />

games (min. 15 attempts).<br />

<strong>vs</strong>. Tampa Bay Buccaneers (11/20): Started at LT and helped clear the way<br />

for five TD drives and a near 300-yard passing effort by Rodgers (299),<br />

while the line yielded just two sacks...Rodgers set an <strong>NFL</strong> record with his<br />

10th consecutive 100-plus QB rating (112.3) and threw three TD passes,<br />

extending his single-season franchise record to 10 consecutive games<br />

with at least two TDs.<br />

at <strong>Detroit</strong> Lions (11/24): Had arguably his finest performance of the season<br />

against the Lions’ talented defensive line, pitching a virtual shutout against<br />

veteran DE Kyle Vanden Bosch, whom he limited to four tackles and no<br />

sacks on the afternoon...Maintained good protection on Vanden Bosch<br />

on the backside on Rodgers’ 65-yard play-action TD to Jones in the third<br />

quarter that pushed the Green Bay lead to 21-0...Overall helped keep<br />

Rodgers upright to throw for 307 yards on 23-of-33 attempts and two TDs,<br />

be<strong>com</strong>ing just the third QB in league history to throw two-plus TD passes<br />

in each of the first 11 games of a season.<br />

at New York Giants (12/4): Experienced what was an up-and-down day<br />

against an athletic, deep Giants defensive front that rotated a handful of<br />

talented pass rushers throughout the game...Line managed to only yield<br />

two sacks, allowing Rodgers to <strong>com</strong>plete 28-of-46 attempts for 369 yards<br />

and four TDs...Marked the third-highest passing total for the QB through<br />

12 games and fourth four-TD output of the season’s first three quarters.<br />

<strong>vs</strong>. Oakland Raiders (12/11): Started and played as part of a rotation with<br />

rookie T Derek Sherrod at LT throughout the game...Sealed LB Kamerion<br />

Wimbley to the outside on the first play of the game, helping to secure<br />

the lane used by RB Ryan Grant on his season-long 47-yard TD that gave<br />

Green Bay and early 7-0 lead...Also teamed with TE Jermichael Finley to<br />

wall off Wimbley on Rodgers’ 37-yard TD pass to Nelson in the second<br />

quarter...With the throw, Rodgers tied the single-season franchise record<br />

for TD passes as it was his 39th of the season...Also substituted at RG<br />

in the fourth quarter, his first career appearance at one of the interior OL<br />

positions.<br />

at Kansas City Chiefs (12/18): Started at LT, matched regularly against<br />

noted pass rush LB Tamba Hali...Helped protect for Rodgers’ franchise<br />

record 40th TD pass, a 2-yard <strong>com</strong>pletion to WR Donald Driver in the third<br />

quarter.<br />

<strong>vs</strong>. Chicago Bears (12/25): Had a solid bounceback performance from what<br />

was a challenging day at Kansas City...Held up well in protection despite<br />

being matched regularly against standout DE Julius Peppers, who he<br />

helped contain as Peppers was not credited with a tackle in the official<br />

game statistics...The OL kept Rodgers from being sacked for the first time<br />

all season and he set a new <strong>NFL</strong> record with his 13th game with a 100-plus<br />

rating...Had a good set against Peppers on Rodgers’ 32-yard <strong>com</strong>pletion to<br />

Jones as part of a two-minute drive before halftime...The <strong>com</strong>pletion gave<br />

Rodgers sole possession of the franchise’s single-season passing yardage<br />

record and helped set up the second of his franchise-record tying five TD<br />

passes in the game.<br />

26 Charlie Peprah, S, 6th Year, Alabama<br />

2011 Season: Cerebral, reliable veteran defender who has again found<br />

himself in the starting lineup due to injuries in the back end...Came on in<br />

relief of an injured Nick Collins (neck) at Carolina in <strong>Week</strong> 2 and has started<br />

the ensuing four games at SS with Morgan Burnett moving over to FS...<br />

Has appeared in all 15 games, posting a career-high 85 tackles (71 solo),<br />

along with career highs in passes defensed (13) and INTs (five).<br />

<strong>vs</strong>. New Orleans Saints (9/8): Saw action only on special teams and did not<br />

record any statistics.<br />

at Carolina Panthers (9/18): Posted an assisted tackle in kickoff coverage on<br />

special teams and was pressed into action for the final 21 defensive plays<br />

after an injury to Collins (neck)...Finished with three tackles (two solo)<br />

in the aftermath of the injury helping the Packers secure the win...Injury<br />

thrusted him back into a starting role, similar to the 2010 season when he<br />

took over as the starter at SS after a season-ending injury to Burnett in<br />

<strong>Week</strong> 4 and spent the remainder of the regular season and playoffs as a<br />

regular in the secondary.<br />

at Chicago Bears (9/25): Started at SS and saw his first extended action<br />

from scrimmage of the young season, appearing on 48 plays and registering<br />

four tackles (all solo, one for loss) and a pass defensed on the<br />

afternoon.<br />

<strong>vs</strong>. Denver Broncos (10/2): Started and recorded five tackles (four solo), two<br />

passes defensed and his first INT of the season, late in the fourth quarter...<br />

INT came on a deflection when LB A.J. Hawk broke up a pass intended for<br />

WR Eric Decker and the ball carromed up into the air...Peprah secured it<br />

and returned it 2 yards, giving him three INTs in his last six regular-season<br />

starts.<br />

at Atlanta Falcons (10/9): Finished with a secondary-leading eight tackles<br />

and two passes defensed, adding his career-high tying second INT of the<br />

season in the fourth quarter...On the play, had help over the top on a vertical<br />

seam route by TE Tony Gonzalez...Tipped a slightly overthrown ball by<br />

QB Matt Ryan in the air to himself and adjusted to secure it for the INT,<br />

protecting what was at the time a one-possession 22-14 Packers lead...The<br />

offense ended the ensuing possession with a FG by K Mason Crosby that<br />

extended the lead to 25-14, putting the game out of reach.<br />

<strong>vs</strong>. St. Louis Rams (10/16): Placed second in the secondary with nine tackles<br />

(seven solo, one for loss), as the defense kept St. Louis out of the end<br />

zone for the entire game...Made a strong play in run support when he<br />

came up to drop powerful RB Steven Jackson for a 1-yard loss on a third<br />

down on the game’s opening drive...Play forced a 47-yard FG attempt by<br />

K Josh Brown that was no good, kicking off what was a first-half shutout<br />

by the defense.<br />

at Minnesota Vikings (10/23): Tied for the lead among the secondary with<br />

six tackles (all solo)...One of his tackles was a no-gain stop of RB Adrian<br />

Peterson when he attacked the line of scrimmage after a short <strong>com</strong>pletion<br />

on a screen in the second quarter...Four plays later, came in untouched<br />

on a blitz, forcing QB Christian Ponder to throw the ball into the ground<br />

to avoid a sack.<br />

at San Diego Chargers (11/6): Registered six tackles (four solo) and set a


new career-high by collecting both his third and fourth INTs of the season,<br />

the first multi-INT game of his career...Both INTs were particularly meaningful,<br />

the first resulting in a 40-yard TD return (the first TD of his career)<br />

and the second sealing the game in the final seconds with San Diego<br />

driving for the tying score...Set a new single-game franchise record (since<br />

1940) with his 116 INT return yards, besting the previous mark of 99<br />

yards, held by three players...First INT came on the Chargers’ second drive<br />

of the first quarter when he closed on a QB Philip Rivers pass intended for<br />

TE Antonio Gates that was deflected by nearby LB Desmond Bishop and<br />

landed in his hands...Eluded a handful of would-be tacklers, picking up<br />

blocks as he crossed the field and swerved his way into the end zone to<br />

give Green Bay its first lead of the game, 14-7...Second INT came with :33<br />

remaining in the fourth quarter with San Diego driving for the game-tying<br />

score...Dropped into a deep zone along the left half of the field and came<br />

up to intercept Rivers’ underthrown ball inteded for WR Vincent Jackson...<br />

Weaved his way back across the field once again, extending the play into<br />

a career-long 76-yard return before being brought down at San Diego’s<br />

6-yard line.<br />

<strong>vs</strong>. Minnesota Vikings (11/14): Finished with four tackles (three solo) and a<br />

pass defensed, as the defense allowed its second-fewest points (7) and<br />

first downs (14) through the season’s first nine games.<br />

<strong>vs</strong>. Tampa Bay Buccaneers (11/20): Posted five tackles (all solo, one for loss)<br />

and a pass defensed...Tackle for loss came on a third-and-11 on Tampa<br />

WR Arrelious Benn...Broke hard on the play, nailing the WR for a 1-yard<br />

loss to force a punt...Pass defensed came on the Bucs’ second-to-last play<br />

from scrimmage late in the fourth quarter...Dove to knock away a QB Josh<br />

Freeman pass intended for TE Kellen Winslow on a third-and-15 play with<br />

46 seconds remaining in the game...Forced a turnover on downs after the<br />

ensuing fourth-down play, allowing the Packers to kneel on the ball to<br />

finalize the 35-26 win.<br />

and pass defensed.<br />

<strong>vs</strong>. Oakland Raiders (12/11): Finished with six tackles (four solo) and a pass<br />

defensed...Made a third-down stop early in the fourth quarter when he<br />

nailed WR Louis Murphy in the back, jarring the ball loose as it arrived.<br />

defensed.<br />

<strong>vs</strong>. Chicago Bears (12/25): Led the secondary with 10 tackles (nine solo), a<br />

forced fumble and his fifth INT of the season...Forced fumble came when<br />

he dislodged the ball from RB Kahlil Bell’s grasp on a goal line stop in<br />

the third quarter, but the ball was recovered in the end zone by G Edwin<br />

Williams for a TD...INT came late in third quarter when a QB Josh McCown<br />

pass went high and tipped off of the hand of WR Earl Bennett...Peprah<br />

caught the deflection and returned it 21 yards, giving the offense another<br />

possession that it would turn into its final TD three plays later, extending<br />

the Green Bay lead to 35-10.<br />

79 Ryan Pickett, DE/NT, 11th Year, Ohio State<br />

2011 Season: Sturdy, veteran anchor of the defensive front who rotates<br />

between DE and NT as a critical cog in the team’s run defense...Started<br />

each of the first 13 games, but was listed as a gameday inactive at Kansas<br />

City after missing the practice week due to a concussion suffered against<br />

Oakland the week before...For the season, is tops among defensive linemen<br />

with 51 tackles (23 solo), also adding two passes defensed.<br />

<strong>vs</strong>. New Orleans Saints (9/8): Had a productive day, often splitting time<br />

with DE Jarius Wynn as the down lineman opposite NT B.J. Raji...Led the<br />

defensive line with six tackles (two solo) and was part of the swarm at the<br />

goal line that stopped RB Mark Ingram’s progress and sealed the win as<br />

time expired...On the play, shot underneath RT Zach Strief to clear a lane<br />

for LB Clay Matthews and S Morgan Burnett to apply the hit to Ingram.<br />

at Carolina Panthers (9/18): Started at LDE and recorded an assisted tackle,<br />

helping to hold the Panthers to just 71 yards on 21 carries (3.4-yard<br />

avg.)...53 of those yards came on scrambles or designed runs by QB Cam<br />

Newton, but Carolina’s RB tandem of Jonathan Stewart and DeAngelo<br />

Williams were limited to a mere 18 yards on 11 carries (1.6-yard avg.)...<br />

Appeared on 34 plays before he suffered a foot injury in the second half<br />

and did not return.<br />

at Chicago Bears (9/25): Started and finished with one tackle, but made<br />

significant, if not statistically glamorous contributions occupying blockers<br />

up front as the run defense yielded just 13 yards on 12 carries (1.1 avg.)...<br />

Lone tackle went for a loss when he lined up over the nose and shed C<br />

Roberto Garza as he moved laterally down the line of scrimmage before<br />

corraling RB Matt Forté for a 2-yard loss early in the third quarter.<br />

<strong>vs</strong>. Denver Broncos (10/2): Started at LDE and made a season-high five<br />

tackles (two solo) up front.<br />

at Atlanta Falcons (10/9): Led the defensive line with five tackles (one solo)<br />

and was an integral part in helping to limit the effectiveness of standout<br />

RB Michael Turner, who finished with 56 yards on his 16 carries (3.5 avg.),<br />

including just 20 rushing yards in the second half.<br />

<strong>vs</strong>. St. Louis Rams (10/16): Saw action on 31 plays in what was an excellent<br />

collective defensive performance against the team with which he spent the<br />

first five years of his career...Credited with two tackles (one solo) as part<br />

of a defense that forced five punts, three turnovers on downs, a missed FG<br />

and an INT en route to a 24-3 Packers’ win.<br />

at Minnesota Vikings (10/23): Credited with five tackles (four solo) despite<br />

being repeatedly double teamed up front...Made a no-gain stop when he<br />

shed G Brandon Fusco and dropped RB Adrian Peterson at the line of<br />

scrimmage on the Vikings’ final drive of the game, one that culminated<br />

with a punt and allowed the Packers to run out the clock for the win.<br />

at San Diego Chargers (11/6): Led the DL with six tackles (two solo) and his<br />

first pass defensed of the season...Reached up to deflect a second-quarter<br />

pass by QB Philip Rivers intended for RB Mike Tolbert on a drive that saw<br />

the defense ultimately hold San Diego to a FG.<br />

<strong>vs</strong>. Minnesota Vikings (11/14): Helped key a stingy defensive front that limited<br />

the explosive Peterson to just 51 yards on 14 carries (3.6 avg.), his<br />

second-lowest total through the season’s first nine games...Credited with<br />

three tackles (one solo) during the game.<br />

<strong>vs</strong>. Tampa Bay Buccaneers (11/20): Led the defensive line with five tackles<br />

(three solo, one for loss) and helped calm a run defense that allowed just<br />

33 rushing yards in the second half...Tackle for loss came on Tampa’s second<br />

drive of the game when he shot between C Jeff Faine and LG Jeremy<br />

Zuttah, dropping RB LeGarrette Blount for a 3-yard loss in the backfield.<br />

at <strong>Detroit</strong> Lions (11/24): Posted four tackles (one solo) and also recorded a<br />

pass defensed when he was on the front end of one of the game’s most<br />

impactful turnover plays in the second quarter...On the play, lined up at<br />

LDE, first engaging a block, but then sliding laterally into a shallow zone<br />

coverage where he read QB Matthew Stafford’s throw and got his hand on<br />

the ball, deflecting it high into the air where LB Clay Matthews was able to<br />

<strong>com</strong>e up and intercept it...As a result of the turnover, the Green Bay offense<br />

would score the game’s first points two plays later on a short TD pass from<br />

QB Aaron Rodgers to WR Greg Jennings.<br />

at New York Giants (12/4): Led the defensive line with four tackles (two<br />

solo).<br />

<strong>vs</strong>. Oakland Raiders (12/11): Again finished with four tackles (three solo),<br />

helping to keep Oakland’s powerful running game in check throughout the<br />

afternoon.<br />

at Kansas City Chiefs (12/18): Inactive (concussion).<br />

<strong>vs</strong>. Chicago Bears (12/25): Inactive (concussion).<br />

81 Andrew Quarless, TE, 2nd Year, Penn State<br />

where he was featured in the various multiple TE sets, and also on special


teams...Most significant special teams contribution came on WR Randall<br />

Cobb’s <strong>NFL</strong> record-tying 108-yard KR-TD in the third quarter...Teamed<br />

with CB/S Jarrett Bush to <strong>com</strong>bo block DE Junior Galette at the beginning<br />

of the runback...The duo maintained the block cleanly for a significant<br />

amount of time, allowing Cobb to regain his footing and speed past the<br />

defender untouched to go an additional 70 yards for the score.<br />

at Carolina Panthers (9/18): Did not have any receiving statistics, but<br />

was effective once again as a blocker...Stayed in to protect on QB Aaron<br />

fake, allowing Rodgers time to find Jennings deep down the field to give<br />

saw more limited action as the offense instead used multiple-WR sets.<br />

at Atlanta Falcons (10/9): Inactive (knee).<br />

<strong>vs</strong>. St. Louis Rams (10/16): Inactive.<br />

at Minnesota Vikings (10/23): Recorded his first reception of the season on<br />

the offense’s first drive of the second quarter, a 21-yard play on a drive<br />

that culminated with K Mason Crosby’s 39-yard FG...Play was particularly<br />

impressive as he started lined up in the left slot before “thumping”<br />

Minnesota DE Jared Allen with a violent chip block that leveled the <strong>NFL</strong>’s<br />

sack leader, allowing Rodgers time to find him down the field...Also lined<br />

up in the backfield and made a good lead block on LB Chad Greenway on a<br />

16-yard run by Starks in the first quarter...Also sealed DE Brian Robison to<br />

the outside on Starks’ 15-yard run on the first play of a clock-killing drive<br />

outside against DE Michael Bennett on Starks’ game-long 20-yard run on<br />

expired.<br />

at Carolina Panthers (9/18): Started at NT and made four tackles (three<br />

solo, one for loss) and his first sack of the young season...Set the tone for<br />

a 2-yard loss at the Green Bay 3-yard line on Carolina’s opening drive...On<br />

his sack, clubbed his way past LG Travelle Wharton, beating him up the<br />

field and tripping up QB Cam Newton for a 12-yard loss...Helped hold the<br />

Bears...Teamed with fellow linemen Ryan Pickett and Jarius Wynn to consistently<br />

tie up blockers to free up linebackers to make plays...Was also<br />

of the second quarter...Run defense was again stout, limiting Pro Bowl RB<br />

G Tyronne Green on San Diego’s final drive, walking the lineman back into<br />

Rivers and getting the QB in the grasp before he threw the ball away.<br />

<strong>vs</strong>. Minnesota Vikings (11/14): Statistically, was credited with one assisted<br />

tackle, but was a significant part of a run defense that limited Pro Bowl<br />

RB Adrian Peterson to just 51 yards on 14 carries (3.6 avg.)...Defense<br />

forced six punts, two turnovers on downs and a turnover in 11 Minnesota<br />

possessions.<br />

<strong>vs</strong>. Tampa Bay Buccaneers (11/20: Credited with an assisted tackle and a<br />

batted pass...Personal highlight of the game came on the offensive side of<br />

the ball, when he lined up in the backfield on a second-and-goal from the<br />

1-yard line on the 15th play of the Packers’ opening possession...Took a<br />

handoff from QB Aaron Rodgers and surged forward for a 1-yard TD to put<br />

a rushing TD in a regular-season game.<br />

at <strong>Detroit</strong> Lions (11/24): Posted two tackles (one solo) and his third sack<br />

of the season in what was a dominating defensive performance for most<br />

Stephen Peterman, chasing QB Matthew Stafford forward into the pocket<br />

and dropping him for a 3-yard loss in the fourth quarter...Also appeared<br />

on offense for the second consecutive week, seeing time in the backfield<br />

finished with two tackles (one solo) and his first career fumble recovery...<br />

Alertly picked up a ball that had been jarred loose following a Matthews<br />

sack, but was believed to have been an in<strong>com</strong>plete pass...Replay reviews<br />

showed QB Eli Manning’s arm had not <strong>com</strong>e forward with the ball and the<br />

possession was awarded to the Packers, who had enough time to get in<br />

position for a FG attempt just before halftime.<br />

<strong>vs</strong>. Oakland Raiders (12/11): Finished with two tackles (one solo) and a<br />

pressure.<br />

at Kansas City Chiefs (12/18): Finished with two tackles (one solo) and<br />

third consecutive claim to the award (December 2010, September 2011,<br />

October 2011), joining Hall of Fame RB Barry Sanders as the only players<br />

who have ever won the Offensive Player of the Month award three<br />

consecutive times...Led the team to a 4-0 record in the season’s second<br />

starter...Now owns the single-season record for 300-yard passing games<br />

(eight) and three-plus TD outings (10)...For the season, has <strong>com</strong>pleted<br />

defense...Finished the game 27-of-35 for 312 yards and three TDs with<br />

no interceptions...The game marked his 15th with more than 300 passing<br />

yards and his 132.1 QB rating was the 26th time he has been over 100 in<br />

that respect...The 312 passing yards were the most by a Green Bay QB<br />

in a season opener since Favre’s 333 <strong>vs</strong>. Oakland on Sept. 12, 1999...<br />

Appeared to be locked-in from the opening gun as he <strong>com</strong>pleted 14-of-15<br />

attempts for 188 yards and three TDs in the first quarter, be<strong>com</strong>ing just<br />

the second QB in <strong>NFL</strong> history to throw three TDs in the first quarter of a<br />

season opener (joining Buffalo’s Jack Kemp - Sept. 13, 1964)...The yardage<br />

mark for the quarter was also his personal best in any quarter of any<br />

game in his career...Had his game-long <strong>com</strong>pletion to WR Jordy Nelson on<br />

the game’s opening drive, stepping up in the face of a seven-man pressure<br />

to deliver a near-perfect ball to Nelson down the left sideline for a 36-yard<br />

gain...Also showed his continued mastery of the back-shoulder throw,<br />

particularly with WR Greg Jennings, hitting the receiver for a 7-yard TD to<br />

cap the opening drive and also for a 22-yard gain later in the contest...Led<br />

a 14-play, 80-yard drive that spanned 6:36 later in the second quarter and<br />

was punctuated by a <strong>17</strong>-yard TD run by RB James Starks...Also directed<br />

a 12-play, 93-yard drive between the third and fourth quarters that ended<br />

the ultimate difference in the game...Rodgers was 6-of-6 for 77 yards on<br />

the drive.<br />

throw for 300 or more yards in the first two games of a season when he<br />

to a gritty victory in its first road contest of the year...Completed 9-of-13<br />

attempts for 209 yards and two TDs in the second half, the first <strong>com</strong>ing<br />

on a near-perfect 49-yard connection with Jennings on the fifth play of the<br />

third quarter...Ran a play-action fake to the left side of the formation to RB<br />

before firing deep, hitting Jennings in stride inside the 5-yard line for the<br />

score, putting Green Bay ahead 14-13...Sealed the game with an 84-yard<br />

TD to Jordy Nelson in the waning minutes of the fourth quarter that put<br />

the Packers up 30-16 with just 2:26 remaining...On the play, audibled out<br />

of a designed run, instead play-faking to RB James Starks and delivering<br />

the ball to Nelson who was running to the post...Nelson hauled it in at the<br />

29-yard line and went the rest of the way for the game-deciding score...<br />

Posted a 119.9 passer rating, the 27th time he has started and eclipsed<br />

the 100-plus plateau.<br />

at Chicago Bears (9/25): Led five scoring drives in a 27-<strong>17</strong> road win against<br />

the division rival Bears...Completed 28-of-38 for 297 yards, three TDs and<br />

his first INT of the season...Connected with TE Jermichael Finley on all<br />

three TD passes, making him the second TE in team history to score three<br />

times in a single game (Keith Jackson, 9/1/96)...Came out firing on the<br />

opening drive of the game, <strong>com</strong>pleting 6-of-8 for 67 yards and a 6-yard TD<br />

to Finley in the back of the end zone on an defensive offsides free play...<br />

Second TD came early in the second quarter, when he scrambled out of the<br />

right side of the pocket to avoid pressure, pump-faked LB Brian Urlacher<br />

and then threw across his body to hit Finley at the goal line to put Green<br />

Bay ahead 14-0...Ended the Packers’ scoring when he found FInley for a<br />

10-yard TD early in the fourth quarter...Identified a blown coverage as S<br />

Craig Steltz was late reacting to Finley being passed off on a fade route in<br />

the right side of the end zone...Threw an excellent ball that the big TE went<br />

up and got to extend the lead to 27-10 in the final period...With his 111.4<br />

rating (the 28th of his career over the 100.0 mark), he broke Tony Romo’s<br />

record for the most 100-plus passer rating performances in a QB’s first 50<br />

starts (since 1970).<br />

<strong>vs</strong>. Denver Broncos (10/2): Had arguably the most statistically dominant<br />

performance in his three-plus years as a starter, accounting for six TDs<br />

(four passing, two rushing) and netting a career-high 408 yards passing<br />

on 29-of-38 attempts...Became the first QB in <strong>NFL</strong> history to ever throw<br />

for 400 yards, four TDs and also have two rushing TDs in a single game...<br />

Also became the first QB in franchise history to eclipse the 400-yard mark<br />

on more than one occasion (404 <strong>vs</strong>. New York Giants, 12/26/10) and now<br />

owns two of the five 400-plus passing performances in team annals...Led<br />

the offense to TDs on six of its nine possessions, including five out of six


TD drives between the late first and third quarters...Opened the season<br />

with QB ratings exceeding 110.0 in each of the first four games, be<strong>com</strong>ing<br />

to his right and found Nelson streaking toward the post ahead of two<br />

defenders...Hit the WR in stride near the goal line for the 50-yard TD...Took<br />

advantage of a surprise onside kick recovery following a 30-yard INT-TD by<br />

CB Charles Woodson, and led the offense on a seven-play, 53-yard drive<br />

that culminated with his 11-yard rushing TD to put Green Bay ahead 21-3...<br />

On the play, a five-wide shotgun spread formation, identified a gaping hole<br />

in the middle of Denver’s defense, pump faked to the right corner and took<br />

off for the goal line, absorbing a hit from S Brian Dawkins as he crossed<br />

into the end zone...Connected with Jennings on a <strong>17</strong>-yard scoring strike<br />

just before halftime...Made it his first-career multi-rushing TD game when<br />

he again scrambled in for an 8-yard TD on the opening drive of the second<br />

half, extending the ball across the goal line as he was tackled to extend<br />

the lead to 35-<strong>17</strong>...Completed 5-of-7 passes for 62 yards on the 12-play,<br />

80-yard series that burned 6:34 off the clock...Score marked the 15th<br />

rushing TD of his career, moving him past Favre and into a tie with Bart<br />

Starr for second place all time in team history among QBs...Made another<br />

excellent throw when he hit WR James Jones for a 16-yard TD with 1:16<br />

remaining in the third quarter to put Green Bay ahead 42-<strong>17</strong>...Saw Jones<br />

release to the outside and ran over the top of CB André Goodman to the<br />

back of the end zone...With Goodman turned, Rodgers placed the ball<br />

where only Jones could catch it just shy of the end-line in the back of the<br />

end zone for the score...Point total was the highest by the franchise in a<br />

regular-season game since Oct. 9, 2005<br />

at Atlanta Falcons (10/9): Put on yet another impressive passing display,<br />

this time on the road in the hostile, emotionally charged Georgia Dome<br />

where he dissected the Falcons in the Divisional playoff round less than<br />

nine months prior...Completed 26-of-39 attempt for 396 yards and two<br />

TDs, tying a team record by distributing the ball to 12 different recievers...<br />

Guided the offense to 25 unanswered points after falling behind 14-0 early<br />

in the second quarter...Overcame an early fumble by RB Ryan Grant on the<br />

offense’s opening drive and also the departure of veteran LT Chad Clifton<br />

(hamstring) to lead the unit to scores on five of the next six possessions (3<br />

FG, 2 TD)...Passing yardage total was the fourth highest in a road contest<br />

in team history and his 1,721 yards through five games are the most ever<br />

by a Green Bay QB to start a season...Threw for 269 yards in the second<br />

half, the most by a Packers QB in a second half since 1991...Also posted<br />

a rating of 1<strong>17</strong>.0, making him the first QB since the AFL-<strong>NFL</strong> merger in<br />

1970 to start a season with five 110-plus rating games...Gave the team<br />

its first lead when he found Jones deep down the middle and placed a<br />

perfect throw beyond S Thomas DeCoud that Jones finished for a 70-yard<br />

TD...Play marked Rodgers’ eighth 70-plus yard <strong>com</strong>pletion since 2008,<br />

tying him with New Orleans’ Drew Brees for the most in the <strong>NFL</strong> over that<br />

span...Threw his 100th TD as a starter to Jennings on the first play of the<br />

fourth quarter in just his 52nd career start, setting a new franchise record<br />

and tying him with Dallas’ Tony Romo as fastest to reach the milestone<br />

among active QBs...On the play, hit Jennings over the middle underneath a<br />

two-deep safety zone and watched the WR take it the rest of the way for a<br />

29-yard TD, the 29th time the two have connected for a TD in their careers.<br />

<strong>vs</strong>. St. Louis Rams (10/16): Matched his single-season career high by notching<br />

his fifth 300-yard passing performance in the first six games, <strong>com</strong>pleting<br />

18-of-29 attempts for 316 yards and three TDs with one INT...Numbers<br />

were particularly impressive when factoring the adverse wind conditions<br />

that had a noticeable effect on the game with gusts as high as 30 mph...<br />

Finished with a QB rating of 119.6, be<strong>com</strong>ing the first QB since the AFL-<br />

<strong>NFL</strong> merger to have six-straight 110-plus passer rating games to start a<br />

season and also tied his career-high for 110-plus rating games in an entire<br />

season (2009, 2010)...Engineered scoring drives on three consecutive<br />

second quarter possesssions, rifling all three of his TD passes in the frame<br />

to stake the Packers to a 24-0 halftime lead...<strong>Game</strong> marked the second<br />

time in his career that he has thrown three TDs in a single quarter, having<br />

also done so in the first quarter of the season opener <strong>vs</strong>. New Orleans...<br />

First TD pass came early in the quarter when he ran a play-action fake<br />

to Starks and bootlegged out to the left, before planting and throwing to<br />

the end zone where Jones had <strong>com</strong>e free on a backside post...Delivered<br />

a perfect strike that Jones caught in stride just beyond the goal line for<br />

the game’s first TD...Saw his career-long <strong>com</strong>pletion <strong>com</strong>e on a 93-yard<br />

hook-up with Nelson with 9:11 remaining in the second quarter...On the<br />

play, pump-faked a slant to Nelson to bait veteran CB Al Harris on what was<br />

a double-move to a go-route deep to the outside...Nelson caught it at the<br />

Green Bay 34-yard line and took it the distance to extend the lead to <strong>17</strong>-0...<br />

Final TD came just before halftime when he bought time by scrambling out<br />

of the pocket to his left on a play that originated from the Rams’ 7-yard<br />

line...Drew both S Craig Dahl and CB Justin King away from their coverage<br />

assignment with his threat to run, and stepped away from the closing<br />

defenders to hit Driver - whom they’d strayed from - in the end zone to put<br />

the Packers ahead 24-0.<br />

at Minnesota Vikings (10/23): Posted the third-highest single-game <strong>com</strong>pletion<br />

percentage (80.0 pct.) and second-highest QB rating (146.5) of his<br />

career, throwing for 335 yards and three TDs on 24-of-30 attempts, while<br />

leading the offense on seven scoring drives in a hostile road environment<br />

against the division-rival Vikings...Completed his first 13 passes of the<br />

game, matching his career-best streak and the stretch marked the most<br />

since Favre’s 13 at Minnesota five years prior on Oct. 23, 1995...His six<br />

overall in<strong>com</strong>pletions were accounted for by two drops, two throwaways,<br />

a clock-killing spike and one errant throw in what was his most efficient<br />

passing performance of the season...Notched new career highs with his<br />

sixth 300-yard game and seventh 110-plus passer rating outing (146.5)<br />

before hitting the season’s midpoint...Matched Steve Young’s record<br />

streak of seven straight games with a 110-plus passer rating (1994), the<br />

longest such streak by an <strong>NFL</strong> QB in a single season since the merger<br />

in 1970...Also became the first QB in league history for have both 2,300<br />

passing yards and 20 or more TDs through seven games in a season...<br />

career, matching the franchise record held by Lynn Dickey...Completed<br />

TDs of 2, 79, and 2 yards, the 79-yarder <strong>com</strong>ing on the second play of the<br />

second half when he rolled to his right and found Jennings deep behind the<br />

defense in what was an obvious coverage gaff by the Minnesota secondary...Play<br />

gave him a 70-yard TD pass in his third consecutive game, making<br />

him just the third QB since the AFL-<strong>NFL</strong> merger in 1970 to ac<strong>com</strong>plish<br />

the feat (Craig Morton - 1970, Drew Brees - 2004)...Also moved him and<br />

Jennings past Arnie Herber and Don Hutson for seventh place in team history<br />

among TD <strong>com</strong>binations...Capitalized on good field position that came<br />

a result of a 42-yard punt return by Cobb on the very next possession,<br />

cashing in another TD with a 2-yard pass to Finley...On the play, rolled to<br />

his right and led the athletic TE with a dart in the back of the end zone that<br />

only he could catch.<br />

at San Diego Chargers (11/6): Earned NFC Offensive Player of the <strong>Week</strong><br />

consecutive games in a single season...Completed 21-of-26 for 247 yards<br />

and four TDs (145.8 rating) in a 45-38 road win in his home state and also<br />

became the first QB in <strong>NFL</strong> history to have both 2,600 passing yards and<br />

24 TDs in the first eight games of a season...Was efficient with limited<br />

opportunities, as the offense only possessed the ball eight times, but managed<br />

five scoring drives and 31 points...Equaled his regular-season career<br />

highs with four TD passes and also 52 rushing yards on eight attemps<br />

(6.5 avg.), be<strong>com</strong>ing the first QB in franchise history to have four TDs<br />

was only three first half possessions, over<strong>com</strong>ing a significant lag time<br />

between drives due to back-to-back INT-TDs by the Green Bay defense...<br />

Recorded the third-longest carry of his career with a 25-yard scramble in<br />

the second quarter...On the play, broke containment and sprinted toward<br />

the left sideline, converting a third-and-9 on a drive that culminated with<br />

his 16-yard TD pass to Nelson...On the back-shoulder TD to Nelson, fired<br />

what was almost an indefensible bullet low and away that the WR dove to<br />

catch before rolling into the end zone to give Green Bay a 28-<strong>17</strong> halftime<br />

lead...Also hit Jones on a 21-yard TD off a stutter-and-go early in the fourth<br />

quarter that extended the lead to 38-24...Found Nelson for his game-long<br />

64-yard <strong>com</strong>pletion on the first play of the offense’s second possession

Jennings two plays later...Was charged with only five in<strong>com</strong>pletions and<br />

joined Lynn Dickey and David Whitehurst as the only QBs in franchise<br />

history to throw for four TD passes with five or fewer in<strong>com</strong>pletions in a<br />

game.<br />

<strong>vs</strong>. Minnesota Vikings (11/14): Joined Kurt Warner as the only two QBs in<br />

<strong>NFL</strong> history to post three consecutive 140-plus rating games in a single<br />

season by <strong>com</strong>pleting 23-of-30 for 250 yards and four TDs, good for<br />

a 140.1 mark in a 45-7 dismantling of the Vikings on Monday Night<br />

Football...Also broke Favre’s franchise records for 110-plus rating games<br />

in a season (eight, 2007) and for consecutive games with at least two TD<br />

passes (eight, 1994), doing each so for the ninth time in 2011, while leading<br />

five scoring drives, including three consecutive TD marches to open<br />

the second half...Showed impressive calm and poise in the face of heavy<br />

pressure early in the game, settling into a groove that saw him deliver yet<br />

another excellent performance...Threw TDs of 24, <strong>17</strong>, 9 and 4 yards, and<br />

did not throw an INT for the third consecutive game.<br />

<strong>vs</strong>. Tampa Bay Buccaneers (11/20): Had what he described as an “off” day<br />

by his standards, but still managed to <strong>com</strong>plete 23-of-34 attempts for 299<br />

yards and three TDs, setting the <strong>NFL</strong> record with 10 consecutive games<br />

with a 100-plus passer rating (112.3)...Inched himself closer to Young’s<br />

single-season record of 11 overall 110-plus rating games and his 31 TD<br />

passes were the third-most in league history by a QB through 10 games...<br />

Also extended his own franchise record by posting his 10th consecutive<br />

game with at least two TD passes, and set new franchise records for the<br />

most yards (3,169) and TD passes (31) through the first 10 games of<br />

a season...Led five TD drives and sealed the game with his game-long<br />

40-yard TD pass to Nelson that came with 2:55 remaining in the fourth<br />

quarter to put Green Bay ahead 35-26, the game’s final score...On the play,<br />

Nelson stuttered along the sideline looking for a back-shoulder throw, but<br />

Rodgers placed the ball perfectly out in front of him where the WR caught<br />

it in stride, outrunning the defense to the end zone...Also led a 15-play,<br />

88-yard TD drive that chewed 8:27 off the clock on the offense’s first possession<br />

of the game, capping it by handing off to NT B.J. Raji who bulled<br />

forward for a 1-yard TD to give Green Bay an early 7-0 lead...Threw a rare<br />

INT in the fourth quarter, just his fourth of the season through 10 games<br />

and what was his first in 1<strong>17</strong> pass attempts.<br />

at <strong>Detroit</strong> Lions (11/24): Piloted the team to the first 11-0 start in franchise<br />

history and helped set a new franchise record with 382 points through 11<br />

games, the fourth most by an <strong>NFL</strong> team through 11 contests since the<br />

AFL-<strong>NFL</strong> merger in 1970...Completed 22-of-33 attempts for 307 yards and<br />

two TDs in a clean performance against an aggressive, attacking defense...<br />

His passer rating of 116.6 made him the first QB in <strong>NFL</strong> history to post<br />

a 100-plus rating in 11 consecutive games and he joined Johnny Unitas<br />

(1959) and Peyton Manning (2004) as the only players to ever throw twoplus<br />

TD passes in each of the first 11 games of a season...Tied Young’s<br />

single-season record by posting his 11th game with a 110-plus QB rating...<br />

Showed patience and efficiency operating the offense, putting together TD<br />

drives on three of four possessions between the second and third quarters,<br />

while again posting a clean sheet in the turnover department...Again led the<br />

offense on a scoring drive on the opening possession of the second half,<br />

directing a march that spanned 77 yards over 11 plays and culminated with<br />

a 1-yard TD run by Kuhn...On the following possession, made an excellent<br />

play-action fake to RB Ryan Grant on a run to the right, attracting all three<br />

LBs and S Chris Harris toward the line scrimmage, but dropping back<br />

to find Jones deep on a post pattern that the WR took the distance for a<br />

65-yard TD, extending Green Bay’s lead to 21-0.<br />

at New York Giants (12/4): Finished with his third-highest passing yardage<br />

total through the season’s first three quarters, having <strong>com</strong>pleted 29-of-46<br />

attempts for 369 yards and four TDs in a hostile road environment against<br />

an energized opponent in need of a win...Remained consistent throughout<br />

the game despite falling victim to a handful of drops and what was at<br />

times heavy pressure...TD total matched his single-game career high and<br />

he extended his <strong>NFL</strong> record of consecutive games with a 100-plus passer<br />

rating to 12 (106.2)...Set new single-season franchise records by posting<br />

his eighth 300-yard passing and ninth three-plus TD game of 2011...Led<br />

his first significant two-minute drive of the season, driving the offense 68<br />

yards in just four plays with the game tied at 35-35 with less than one<br />

minute remaining in the fourth quarter...Drive started at the Green Bay<br />

20-yard line with 58 seconds left on the clock and the Packers holding<br />

one timeout...Surgically <strong>com</strong>pleted four consecutive throws to Finley (24<br />

yards), Nelson (27), RB Brandon Saine (-1) and Jennings (18), advancing<br />

the ball to the New York 12-yard line and setting up Crosby to convert a<br />

31-yard game-winning FG to give Green Bay a 38-35 win as time expired...<br />

Also led two 80-yard TD drives to close the first half and open the second,<br />

capping each with scoring passes to Driver and Jennings respectively...<br />

Was also the offense’s leading rusher with 32 yards on four carries (8.0<br />

avg.), converting first downs on three of his scrambles.<br />

<strong>vs</strong>. Oakland Raiders (12/11): Became the fastest player to eclipse the 4,000-<br />

yard passing plateau in a season in franchise history when he did so in the<br />

team’s 13th game...Completed <strong>17</strong>-of-30 attempts for 281 yards and two<br />

TDs before exiting the game in the third quarter with Green Bay leading<br />

43-7...Reaching the mark in 13 games tied him as the second fastest to do<br />

so in <strong>NFL</strong> history behind New Orleans’ Drew Brees, who hit it in 12 games<br />

earlier this season...Also joined Manning as the only two QBs in <strong>NFL</strong> history<br />

to throw for two or more TDs in each of the first 13 games of the<br />

season, extending his own franchise record...Has now thrown for 4,000<br />

or more yards in three of his four starting seasons, joining Favre as the<br />

only two QBs in franchise annals to do it three or more times...Threw his<br />

second TD of the game and tied Favre’s single-season record in the second<br />

quarter with his 39th of the season when he found Nelson deep down the<br />

right sideline for a 37-yard strike...Throw was placed perfectly for the WR<br />

to make a lunging grab before S Matt Giordano could get over to break up<br />

the play...First TD pass came on the offense’s second possession of the<br />

first quarter when he found TE Ryan Taylor from 4 yards out, the rookie’s<br />

first career reception.<br />

at Kansas City Chiefs (12/18): Completed <strong>17</strong>-of-35 attempts for 235 yards<br />

and a TD pass on what was a challenging day for the offense...Overcame<br />

injuries and shuffling across the offensive line after both Bryan Bulaga and<br />

Derek Sherrod were lost to injuries...Set the single-season franchise record<br />

for TD passes with his 2-yard toss to Driver in the third quarter, be<strong>com</strong>ing<br />

just the fifth QB in <strong>NFL</strong> history to eclipse the 40-TD mark in a season...Also<br />

scored his third rushing TD of the season in the fourth quarter, running it in<br />

from 8 yards out to pull the Packers to within five points with just over two<br />

minutes to play...The rushing TD was the 16th of his career, which pushed<br />

him past Bart Starr for No. 2 all-time in franchise history among QBs.<br />

<strong>vs</strong>. Chicago Bears (12/25): Had yet another sparkling performance in primetime,<br />

tying the franchise record with a career-high five TD passes, en<br />

route to leading the franchise to its record 14th regular-season win against<br />

the di<strong>vs</strong>ion-rival Bears on Sunday Night Football...Completed 21-of-29<br />

attempts for 283 yards, leading five efficient TD drives despite the offense<br />

only possessing the ball for 24:12 during the game...Was not sacked or<br />

intercepted, and with his 32-yard <strong>com</strong>pletion to Jones on a two-minute TD<br />

drive before halftime, he passed Lynn Dickey (4,458) for sole possession<br />

of the team’s single-season passing yardage record...Set a new <strong>NFL</strong> record<br />

with his 13th game with a 100-plus passer rating and became just the third<br />

QB in league history to have 10 games in a season with three or more TD<br />

passes...Posted a QB rating of 142.7, his fourth of the season north of the<br />

140 mark, tying him with Brady (2007, 2010) and Roger Staubach (1973)<br />

for the <strong>NFL</strong>’s single-season record...Passing highlight of the night came<br />

on his 55-yard TD bomb to Nelson on the offense’s opening drive of the<br />

second half...On the play, carried out a run-fake to Starks to the left side<br />

and then bootlegged back to the right, allowing Nelson time to separate<br />

from S Major Wright and deliver a near-perfect strike deep downfield that<br />

the WR caught in stride as he advanced into the end zone...Marked the<br />

seventh time in 2011 that the unit scored a TD on its first possession of the<br />

second half...Also directed what was a perfect evening (4-for-4) in both red<br />

zone and goal line situations, throwing short TD passes to Jones (twice),<br />

Finley and Nelson...Exited the game in the fourth quarter, passing the reins<br />

to Flynn, who finished the game.<br />

33 Brandon Saine, RB, Rookie, Ohio State<br />

at San Diego Chargers (11/6): Dressed for the game and made his professional<br />

again, making the tackle on the game’s opening kickoff, bringing down WR<br />

S Sean Jones that helped spring WR Randall Cobb’s 55-yard punt return<br />

in the fourth quarter.<br />

78 Derek Sherrod, T, Rookie, Mississippi State<br />

2011 Season: Club’s top selection in the 2011 <strong>NFL</strong> Draft, a long, rangy<br />

prospect with good physical tools and an impressive academic resume<br />

who has appeared at times in inaugural season due to injuries at the tackle<br />

positions...Was inactive for the first three contests but saw the field for the<br />

first time in <strong>Week</strong>s 4 and 5, playing extensively at Atlanta (Oct. 9) when<br />

veteran T Chad Clifton was lost for the game to a hamstring injury on the<br />

offense’s second possession and T Bryan Bulaga was inactive with a knee<br />

injury...Saw extended action in <strong>Week</strong> 14 <strong>vs</strong>. Oakland in a rotation with<br />

Marshall Newhouse at LT...Entered in relief of Bulaga (knee) in <strong>Week</strong> 15<br />

at Kansas City, but suffered a broken leg in the second half when another<br />

placed on injured reserve, Dec. 20<br />

<strong>vs</strong>. New Orleans Saints (9/8): Inactive.<br />

at Carolina Panthers (9/18): Inactive.<br />

at Chicago Bears (9/25): Inactive.<br />

<strong>vs</strong>. Denver Broncos (10/2): Dressed for the first time in his young career due<br />

to the absence of the injured Bryan Bulaga (knee), and entered the game<br />

late in the fourth quarter in place of Clifton (coaches’ decision, rest).<br />

at Atlanta Falcons (10/9): Saw his most extensive action of the season after<br />

Clifton exited on the offense’s second series with a significant hamstring<br />

injury...Was slotted in at RT with second-year man Marshall Newhouse<br />

shifting over to LT...Played the rest of the game at RT in a hostile road<br />

environment, helping the offense to scores on five of the ensuing six possessions<br />

(3 FGs, 2 TDs), posting 25 unanswered points en route to a 25-14<br />

victory...On QB Aaron Rodgers’ 70-yard TD to WR James Jones, blocked<br />

deep in the secondary to put Green Bay ahead 15-14.<br />

<strong>vs</strong>. St. Louis Rams (10/16) - Dressed for the game as the top backup at both<br />

tackle positions, but did not see any game action.<br />

<strong>vs</strong>. Minnesota Vikings (11/14): Appeared for the first time since <strong>Week</strong> 5,<br />

<strong>com</strong>ing on in relief of Bulaga, but seeing the field only for three kneeldowns<br />

the clock in what was a 45-7 victory.<br />

<strong>vs</strong>. Tampa Bay Buccaneers (11/20) - at New York Giants (12/4): Active, but did<br />

carted off the field.<br />

37 Sam Shields, CB, 2nd Year, Miami<br />

2011 Season: A young talent with exceptional speed and developing<br />

coverage skills who placed a stranglehold on the defense’s nickel CB<br />

position as a rookie in 2010...Has appeared in 14 games with six starts,<br />

posting 31 tackles (28 solo), and has set new career highs with 13 passes<br />

defensed and three INTs.<br />

<strong>vs</strong>. New Orleans Saints (9/8): Saw extensive action as the Packers spent<br />

most of the game in their nickel defense against the Saints’ wide-open<br />

passing attack...Started the game and appeared on 72 plays, finishing<br />

with new career highs in both tackles (six, five solo) and passes defensed<br />

(three), also forcing his first career fumble...One of his pass break-ups<br />

came on the first play of the Saints’ two-minute drive at the end of the first<br />

half when he ran step for step in man coverage with New Orleans’ speedster<br />

WR Devery Henderson on a go-route down the sideline...Turned to the<br />

ball and deflected it away, nearly making the interception...Another came in<br />

coverage of a WR Robert Meachem slant early in the fourth quarter as he<br />

closed quickly and got an arm in to bat the ball away...Recorded his first<br />

career forced fumble when he stripped Henderson’s following a 9-yard<br />

gain in the third quarter and ball rolled out of bounds...Made one of the<br />

more unsung plays of the game on special teams, serving as the ‘safety’ on<br />

the kickoff coverage team...Again showed his impressive speed by <strong>com</strong>ing<br />

from the opposite side of the field to track down RB Darren Sproles and<br />

run him out of bounds following a 57-yard return in the third quarter, likely<br />

saving a TD as the last line of defense.<br />

at Carolina Panthers (9/18): Started at RCB in the absence of the injured<br />

Williams (shoulder), recording a solo tackle.<br />

at Chicago Bears (9/25): Resumed his nickel CB role upon Williams’ return<br />

to the starting lineup, but opened the game as the defense came out in<br />

its familiar 5-DB personnel grouping...Registered three solo tackles and<br />

a pass defensed...Broke up a fourth-down pass intended for WR Johnny<br />

Knox in the fourth quarter to force a turnover on downs, keeping the score<br />

27-<strong>17</strong> and essentially sealing the win for Green Bay...On the play, quickly<br />

closed on Knox’s in-breaking route and wrapped the WR up as the ball<br />

arrived, jarring it loose and keeping him from making the reception...Also<br />

drew a 15-yard personal foul against WR Devin Hester late in the fourth<br />

quarter after the two sparred following the end of a play...Maintained his<br />

<strong>com</strong>posure and came up big on the following play when he made a nice<br />

open-field tackle of RB Matt Forté on a third-and-long to force a punt.<br />

<strong>vs</strong>. Denver Broncos (10/2): Had an up-and-down day in coverage against<br />

premier WR Brandon Lloyd, but scored a victory for himself with an INT<br />

early in the fourth quarter...On the play, was in single coverage on Lloyd,<br />

briefly biting on a fake to the outside, but recovering in time to close on<br />

the ball and jump to haul it in inside the Green Bay 5-yard line...Circled<br />

through the end zone and used his speed to bring it out and advance it for<br />

a career-long 60-yard return to the Denver 46-yard line...Possession led


to an eight-play, 46-yard TD drive that culminated with a 8-yard TD pass<br />

from QB Aaron Rodgers to WR Donald Driver to extend the Packers’ lead<br />

to 49-23.<br />

at Atlanta Falcons (10/9): Finished with two tackles (both solo) in what<br />

was arguably his most consistent performance of the young season...Was<br />

matched often with rookie phenom Julio Jones and helped limit the WR to<br />

just one catch for 16 yards...Atlanta receivers as a whole <strong>com</strong>bined for just<br />

10 catches for 86 yards (8.6 avg.) and the Falcons’ gross passing total of<br />

167 yards was a season-low for the defense...Pass defensed came when<br />

he was matched in man-coverage against Jones on a vertical route down<br />

the left sideline...Jumped to break up the pass, knocking the ball away<br />

despite a distinct height advantage for the WR.<br />

<strong>vs</strong>. St. Louis Rams (10/16): Tied his career-high set in the season opener with<br />

six tackles (five solo) and also matched his career-best from his rookie<br />

season by recording his second INT...INT came when he thwarted a Rams’<br />

red-zone drive late in the third quarter by capitalizing on good position and<br />

an underthrown ball to pick off a QB Sam Bradford fade in the end zone<br />

late in the third quarter...Play was particularly impressive given that he was<br />

matched against WR Danario Aleander who holds a distinct height advantage<br />

at six-foot-five...The play was bittersweet because while attempting to<br />

return the ball out of the end zone, he ran horizontally and was side-swiped<br />

by WR Brandon Gibson, who delivered a punishing hit that caused Shields<br />

to suffer a concussion and he did not return to the game.<br />

at Minnesota Vikings (10/23): Missed the practice week while dealing with<br />

lingering effects of the concussion, and was inactive on gameday for the<br />

first time since <strong>Week</strong> 5 of the 2010 regular season.<br />

at San Diego Chargers (11/6): Started the game with the defense in its nickel<br />

alignment and finished with three tackles (all solo) and a pass defensed...<br />

Broke up a pass by QB Philip Rivers intended for WR Vincent Brown on<br />

the Chargers’ unsuccessful final drive of the fourth quarter...Rivers was<br />

intercepted by S Charlie Peprah on the following play to seal the game for<br />

the Packers.<br />

<strong>vs</strong>. Minnesota Vikings (11/14): Started as the third CB and helped limit the<br />

Minnesota pass offense to just 190 yards, the defense’s second-lowest<br />

yield in the season’s first nine games...The Vikings’ WRs accounted for<br />

just 101 of those yards.<br />

<strong>vs</strong>. Tampa Bay Buccaneers (11/20): Credited with two tackles (both solo)...<br />

Also drew an offensive pass interference penalty against TE Kellen<br />

Winslow on a play in the end zone that was initially ruled a TD...Ensuing<br />

third-and-long fell in<strong>com</strong>plete and the Bucs were forced to settle for a FG.<br />

at <strong>Detroit</strong> Lions (11/24): Finished with three solo tackles and was part of<br />

a secondary that helped limit <strong>Detroit</strong> WRs to just 101 total yards on 10<br />

catches (10.1 avg.).<br />

at New York Giants (12/4): Totaled two tackles (both solo) and his careerhigh<br />

tying ninth pass defensed of the season...Saw extended action in<br />

the fourth quarter after CB Charles Woodson suffered a concussion and<br />

did not return...Pass defensed came on the second play after Woodson<br />

departed when he was matched in single coverage on a vertical route<br />

along the right sideline against WR Hakeem Nicks...Leapt to deflect a QB<br />

Eli Manning first-down pass intended for Nicks on a drive that ended with<br />

a punt two plays later.<br />

<strong>vs</strong>. Oakland Raiders (12/11): Did not record any tackles but posted two<br />

passes defensed and picked off his career-high third pass of the season in<br />

the fourth quarter...First pass defensed came in the first quarter when he<br />

broke up a deep throw over the middle to WR Darrius Heyward-Bey...His<br />

INT came on the Raiders’ final drive of the fourth quarter when he caught a<br />

wobbly pass by QB Carson Palmer that fell well short of its intended target<br />

after Palmer was hit during his throwing motion by LB Brad Jones...He<br />

returned it 6 yards before voluntarily going to the ground.<br />

at Kansas City Chiefs (12/18): Appeared on just <strong>17</strong> plays as the defense<br />

spent much of the game in its base 3-4 defensive front...Did not record<br />

any tackles, but did have a pass defensed when he played a back-shoulder<br />

throw from QB Kyle Orton to WR Jonathan Baldwin perfectly in the end<br />

zone in the fourth quarter, swatting the ball away as it arrived.<br />

<strong>vs</strong>. Chicago Bears (12/25): Saw action on 52 plays and tallied three tackles<br />

(two solo) and a pass defensed during the game.<br />

71 Josh Sitton, G, 4th Year, Central Florida<br />

2011 Season: Powerful, consistent blocker has evolved into one of the<br />

top players at his position across the league and has begun to receive<br />

the appropriate recognition for his steady play, having been named a Pro<br />

Bowl alternate in 2011...Had started all 11 games at RG before suffering<br />

a knee sprain at <strong>Detroit</strong> in <strong>Week</strong> 12 and landing on the inactive list at the<br />

<strong>Week</strong> 15 at Kansas City, taking each snap at his familiar RG spot...For the<br />

season, has started all 13 games in which he has appeared.<br />

<strong>vs</strong>. New Orleans Saints (9/8): Helped pave the way for an excellent offensive<br />

performance that saw the unit rack up 399 total yards while allowing just<br />

two sacks to the Saints’ aggressive defense...Helped control the line of<br />

scrimmage against a formidable interior defensive line as the Packers’ two<br />

primary ball-carriers, RB Ryan Grant and RB James Starks, <strong>com</strong>bined for<br />

97 yards on 21 carries (4.6 avg.)...Made an outstanding pair of blocks on<br />

Starks’ <strong>17</strong>-yard TD toward the end of the second quarter...Started with<br />

a <strong>com</strong>bination block with T Bryan Bulaga on DT Mitch King, but quickly<br />

moved to the second level where he cut down LB Jonathan Casillas on the<br />

backside, allowing Starks to ultimately go in for the score.<br />

at Carolina Panthers (9/18): Part of a protection unit that allowed QB Aaron<br />

Rodgers to be sacked just once, as the offense posted 419 net yards in<br />

its first road outing of the season...Made a pair of excellent blocks on<br />

Starks’ game-long 40-yard run in the third quarter...With Starks knifing<br />

between he and C Scott Wells, he started out with in concert with Wells<br />

to <strong>com</strong>bination-block DT Terrell McClain briefly before getting out on LB<br />

Dan Connor, sealing him to help spring Starks for the explosive gain...Also<br />

fanned back to help Bulaga on DE Charles Johnson on an outside rush<br />

on the offense’s first scoring drive during the second quarter...Protection<br />

allowed Rodgers time to find TE Jermichael Finley downfield for a 39-yard<br />

gain on third down.<br />

at Chicago Bears (9/25): Part of an offensive line that cleared the way for a<br />

392-yard offensive output and controlled the Bears’ aggressive defensive<br />

front for most of the game...Had a pair of good blocks on RB Ryan Grant’s<br />

13-yard run on the game’s first play...Started in <strong>com</strong>bination with Wells on<br />

DT Matt Toeaina, but disengaged to move out to the second level on LB<br />

Brian Urlacher...Also made a sealing block on LB Lance Briggs on another<br />

13-yard cutback run by Grant in the second quarter...Blocked down on DT<br />

Anthony Adams on Grant’s game-long 14-yard carry in the third quarter<br />

and the RB finished with 92 yards on <strong>17</strong> carries (5.4 avg.) for the game.<br />

<strong>vs</strong>. Denver Broncos (10/2): Played a critical role in helping pave the way for<br />

an offense that totaled more than 500 yards and six TD drives against the<br />

Broncos...Helped create time for Rodgers to pass for more than 400 yards<br />

for the second time in his career and only be sacked twice in 40 dropbacks<br />

(neither of which were charged to Sitton)...Helped create the enormous<br />

rushing lane on Rodgers’ 11-yard TD run early in the second quarter<br />

defensed and a fumble recovery that he returned for a TD.<br />

<strong>vs</strong>. New Orleans Saints (9/8): Opened the regular season as a starter for<br />

the first time in his pro career and answered the bell with six tackles (four<br />

solo), a sack and a pass defensed against the Saints...Sack came on a critical<br />

third-and-2 from the Green Bay 7-yard line...Came through unblocked<br />

on a rush from the ROLB position in an apparent mis<strong>com</strong>munication by the<br />

Saints to a 38-yard FG on fourth down...Pass deflection came in coverage<br />

of athletic TE Jimmy Graham...Carried Graham down the seam and dove<br />

at Carolina Panthers (9/18): Again started at ROLB, seeing time on 66 plays<br />

and recording five tackles (four solo) and two QB hits...Part of a front that<br />

Panthers RB tandem of Jonathan Stewart and DeAngelo Williams a mere<br />

18 yards on 11 carries (1.6 avg.).<br />

at Chicago Bears (9/25): Made five tackles (four solo, one for loss) from his<br />

ROLB post, helping to set the edge for a run defense that allowed just 13<br />

yards on 12 carries (1.1 avg.) during the game...Tackle for loss came on a<br />

run to his side that saw him stack TE Kellen Davis at the line of scrimmage,<br />

<strong>com</strong>pletion from QB Sam Bradford to WR Greg Salas.

his season high with four QB hits...One of his four QB hits came when<br />

taking a sack.<br />

at San Diego Chargers (11/6): Finished with five tackles (three solo, two for<br />

loss), a team-leading six QB hits and a pass defensed in what was one of<br />

his better performances in the season’s first half...Picked up his second<br />

sack of the season when he beat LT Marcus McNeill around the corner and<br />

pursued QB Philip Rivers all the way to the opposite sideline, dropping him<br />

for a 1-yard loss in the third quarter...Had a pair of impressive efforts on<br />

back-to-back plays on San Diego’s second to last series of the fourth quarter...On<br />

the first, slipped inside of McNeill and dropped RB Mike Tolbert for<br />

a 1-yard loss...On the next play, stunted inside on a blitz and was engaged<br />

with C Nick Hardwick, but still managed to deflect a Rivers pass intended<br />

and forced six punts, two turnovers on downs and an INT in 11 Minnesota<br />

possessions.<br />

<strong>vs</strong>. Tampa Bay Buccaneers (11/20): Led the defense with a season-high 11<br />

tackles (six solo, one for loss) and his third sack of the season...On the<br />

sack, shot past TE Luke Stocker who had <strong>com</strong>e from across the formation<br />

to block him, wrestling QB Josh Freeman to the ground for a 3-yard loss...<br />

Third sack of the season matched his career high set in 2010...Also lined<br />

up at LOLB and flushed Freeman out of the pocket, helping to force the first<br />

of his two INTs, the first <strong>com</strong>ing late in the second quarter.<br />

at <strong>Detroit</strong> Lions (11/24): Finished as the team’s leading tackler for the second<br />

consecutive week with 10 stops (seven solo), also adding three QB<br />

on a drive that ended with a punt three plays later...Had what would have<br />

been his second sack in as many weeks negated by a <strong>Detroit</strong> penalty...Had<br />

chased down QB Matthew Stafford, dropping him for a 1-yard loss, but a<br />

chop block executed against LB D.J. Smith drew the accepted flag.<br />

three QB hits during the game.<br />

<strong>vs</strong>. Oakland Raiders (12/11): Finished with five tackles (three solo) and his<br />

of scrimmage...On the fumble recovery, picked up a ball that had been<br />

punched out by LB Robert Francois after a <strong>com</strong>pleted pass to FB Marcel<br />

Reece, returning it 5 yards for his first career TD to extend the Packers’<br />

solo).<br />

<strong>vs</strong>. Chicago Bears (12/25): Started and appeared on 37 plays, finishing with<br />

WR for much of the game, Johnson finished with just four catches for<br />

49 yards (12.3 avg.), with just one of them, a 5-yard <strong>com</strong>pletion <strong>com</strong>ing<br />

against Williams...The CB saw two near INTs slip through his hands, the<br />

first on an overthrow in the first quarter and then later when he broke hard<br />

on a quick-in route by Johnson, breaking up the play but being unable to<br />

maintain possession for what would have been a 24-yard TD return...Also<br />

the game...Impressive tackle for loss came on the first play of Atlanta’s<br />

second possession late in the first quarter, when he fought off of a block<br />

backfield.<br />

solo)...Teamed with LB D.J. Smith to take down RB Dexter McCluster for<br />

1-yard loss on an end-around play in the first quarter...Also slid past T<br />

Barry Richardson to help create the pile that stacked RB Jackie Battle for


no gain at the Packers’ 3-yard line on a fourth-down goal-line stand in the<br />

second quarter, resulting in a turnover on downs.<br />

<strong>vs</strong>. Chicago Bears (12/25): Started at LDE in the continued absence of<br />

Pickett and finished with six tackles (five solo, one for loss)...Tackle<br />

for loss came in the second quarter when he shed RT Lance Louis and<br />

dropped RB Armando Allen for a 1-yard loss in the backfield on a run to<br />

his side.<br />

21 Charles Woodson, CB, 14th Year, Michigan<br />

2011 Season: Veteran stalwart CB and jack-of-all-trades in the secondary<br />

who earned his fourth consecutive and eighth overall trip to the Pro<br />

Bowl in this his 14th season...Became the first Green Bay CB since Herb<br />

Adderley (1963-67) to be named to the all-star team in four consecutive<br />

seasons...Has continued to make game-changing, momentum-turning<br />

plays in what is his sixth season in Green Bay...Has started all 15 games<br />

and posted 83 tackles (68 solo), while tying for the <strong>NFL</strong> lead with seven<br />

INTs and ranking second on the team with 20 passes defensed...Also has<br />

two sacks and a fumble recovery.<br />

<strong>vs</strong>. New Orleans Saints (9/8): Joined FS Nick Collins as the only two players<br />

on the field for every defensive play...Posted two tackles and a pass<br />

defensed, playing primarily as the slot CB in the team’s nickel defense...<br />

Broke up a QB Drew Brees pass intended for WR Marques Colston on a<br />

third down during the Saints’ first drive of the second quarter, forcing a FG.<br />

at Carolina Panthers (9/18): Started and spent most of the game on the<br />

outside away from his familiar slot position in the absence of CB Tramon<br />

Williams...Rose the occasion with a trio of takeaway plays that ultimately<br />

turned the tide in Green Bay’s favor...The three turnover plays came in a<br />

span of four Carolina possessions between the second and third quarters<br />

that helped the Packers turn a 13-7 deficit into a 20-13 lead...Recorded<br />

eight tackles (six solo), two INTs and a fumble recovery, the sixth two-<br />

INT and third three-takeaway game of his brilliant career...At 34 years,<br />

346 days old, became the oldest Green Bay player to record a two INT<br />

game since Tom Brown did so at Tampa Bay on 12/3/89 at 36 years, 321<br />

days old...The first INT came with 3:11 remaining in the second quarter...<br />

Passed WR Steve Smith off, but quickly identified the receiver running a<br />

corner route and ran full speed vertically before darting toward the sideline<br />

underneath Smith, undercutting the route and diving to intercept rookie QB<br />

Cam Newton at the Green Bay 36-yard line...Stung the Panthers again two<br />

possessions later early in the third quarter...This time, trailed Smith on a<br />

shallow crossing route, waiting for the perfect time to burst in front of the<br />

WR to pick off the high throw by Newton at the Carolina 25, returning it 5<br />

yards before being wrestled out of bounds by Smith...Play marked the 49th<br />

INT of his career...On the next possession gave a <strong>com</strong>pletion to Smith on<br />

a deep-in, but pursued the play to the opposite sideline where SS Morgan<br />

Burnett dislodged the football and Woodson recovered it, the 10th fumble<br />

recovery of his career.<br />

at Chicago Bears (9/25): Returned to his position in the slot with WIlliams<br />

back in the lineup on the outside and played all 54 defensive snaps...Also<br />

saw time at safety in some of the team’s various sub-packages in the<br />

absence of the injured Nick Collins (neck)...Finished with three tackles (two<br />

solo), and his support in the run game from the slot helped the defense<br />

post what tied for the fourth-lowest single-game net rushing total in franchise<br />

history (13 yards on 12 attempts, 1.1 avg.).<br />

<strong>vs</strong>. Denver Broncos (10/2): Finished with five tackles (four solo) and an INT<br />

that he returned 30 yards for a TD in the first quarter...The INT was the<br />

landmark 50th of his career as he became just the 37th player in league<br />

history to eclipse the half-century mark...Play served as the 11th INT-TD<br />

of his career, moving him into a tie for second place all-time behind only<br />

Rod Woodson (12)...Now has six straight seasons with an INT-TD, further<br />

extending the <strong>NFL</strong> record he set last year, as no player has ever had more<br />

than four...On the play, changed the coverage just before the snap, taking<br />

the trailing WR Eric Decker into the flat out of a stack formation...Identified<br />

the route and broke hard on QB Kyle Orton’s throw, undercutting the route<br />

and securing the ball at the 30-yard line before charging ahead to the end<br />

zone to push Green Bay’s lead to 14-3 late in the first quarter.<br />

at Atlanta Falcons (10/9): Posted four tackles (three solo) and helped contain<br />

Atlanta’s explosive pass offense to just 167 yards on 31 attempts...<br />

The Falcons’ talented receiving trio of TE Tony Gonzalez, WR Julio Jones<br />

and WR Roddy White <strong>com</strong>bined for just 13 catches for 126 yards (9.7<br />

avg.) against the Green Bay secondary and were held off the scoreboard<br />

<strong>com</strong>pletely in the second half.<br />

<strong>vs</strong>. St. Louis Rams (10/16): Recorded four tackles (three solo) and his first<br />

sack of the season, as part of a defense that kept St. Louis out of the end<br />

zone for the balance of the game...One of his tackles was a third-down stop<br />

of WR Greg Salas after a 3-yard gain in the second quarter that forced a<br />

punt...The Green Bay offense scored for the third consecutive time on the<br />

ensuing possession to extend the lead to 24-0...Registed the 14½ sack of<br />

his career on the Rams’ next drive, a two-minute, no-huddle series just<br />

before halftime...On the play, knifed between RT and RG and fought off a<br />

block by RB Steven Jackson to drop QB Sam Bradford for a 6-yard loss.<br />

at Minnesota Vikings (10/23): Tied for the lead in the secondary with six<br />

tackles (five solo), posted a career-high six passes defensed and added<br />

his <strong>NFL</strong>-leading fourth and fifth INTs on back-to-back third quarter possessions<br />

to help the franchise to a 7-0 start for the first time since 1962...<br />

First of his passes defensed came on a third-and-4 on Minnesota’s third<br />

possession when he was matched against Percy Harvin in the right flat,<br />

colliding with the WR as the ball arrived to break up the play...Recorded his<br />

first INT when he was matched in coverage against TE Visanthe Shiancoe<br />

on another out-route on a third-and-4 on the Vikings second drive of the<br />

third quarter...Undercut the route as the TE broke for the sideline and<br />

stepped in front of the throw, intercepting it with his momentum carrying<br />

him out of bounds, prohibiting a return...Second INT came three plays<br />

later on Minnesota’s next possession...On the play, trailed WR Michael<br />

Jenkins on a deep crossing route out of the right slot, again undercutting<br />

the throw and picking it off in front of the WR and returning it 25 yards to<br />

set up what was ultimately K Mason Crosby’s franchise record 58-yard FG<br />

that extended the lead to 33-<strong>17</strong>...<strong>Game</strong> marked the sixth multi-INT game<br />

of his Green Bay career, tying him for fourth all-time in team history with<br />

S LeRoy Butler...Now has 35 career INTs as a Packer, one shy of tying<br />

S Darren Sharper for the fifth most in team history...Broke up two other<br />

passes on the Vikings’ final drive of the fourth quarter, first on a slant<br />

intended for WR Devin Aromashodu and then later on a deep-in by WR<br />

Greg Camarillo, <strong>com</strong>ing in each time as the ball arrived to break up the<br />

plays...Drive ended with a punt and the Packers ran out the remaining 2:30<br />

of the game clock for the win.<br />

at San Diego Chargers (11/6): Credited with six tackles (five solo) and a<br />

forced fumble...Knocked the ball loose on a second-quarter rush when he<br />

was shoved past QB Philip Rivers, but managed to stick his arm out to<br />

dislodge the ball...Rivers recovered it and shoveled it to RB Mike Tolbert,<br />

who advanced for a 9-yard gain.<br />

<strong>vs</strong>. Minnesota Vikings (11/14): Finished second on defense with nine tackles<br />

(eight solo, one for loss) and had a team-high four passes defensed in<br />

what was one of his finest all-around performances of the season...Nearly<br />

intercepted Ponder for the third time this season when he wrestled the ball<br />

away from Shiancoe on a first-quarter pass...Play was initially ruled an INT,<br />

but was challenged and replays showed he did not control the ball <strong>com</strong>pletely<br />

before it touched the ground...Tackle for loss came early in the third<br />

quarter when he came through unblocked on a blitz and wrapped up RB<br />

Adrian Peterson in the backfield for a 6-yard loss...Also broke up passes<br />

on back-to-back plays in the fourth quarter on a drive that ended with one<br />

of the Vikings’ six punts...On the first, came free on a rush out of the slot<br />

off the right edge, closing quickly on Ponder before leaping up to deflect<br />

his attempted pass...On the following play, again blitzed, this time between<br />

C and LG, jumping to bat a Ponder pass, but instead making contact with<br />

the ball with his helmet, sending a deflection high into the secondary that<br />

fell in<strong>com</strong>plete.<br />

<strong>vs</strong>. Tampa Bay Buccaneers (11/20): Finished with five tackles (three solo, one<br />

for loss), a sack and a pass defensed...Broke up a third-down pass intended<br />

for WR Preston Parker on the Bucs’ opening drive, nearly intercepting<br />

a ball whose flight had already been altered by LB A.J. Hawk who hit QB<br />

Josh Freeman’s arm in the pocket...Became the first Packers DB since<br />

sacks became an official statistic in 1982 to register two or more sacks in<br />

four straight seasons when he dropped Freeman for a 5-yard loss on the<br />

Bucs’ final possession of the game...On the play, slashed between RT and


RG, using a swim move to get past RB Kregg Lumpkin, before wrapping<br />

himself around Freeman’s right leg, forcing him down to end the play...<br />

Marked his second sack of the season and he now has 15½ for his career.<br />

at <strong>Detroit</strong> Lions (11/24): Made another Thanksgiving Day splash with five<br />

tackles (all solo), two passes defensed and his sixth INT of the season<br />

against the division rival Lions...INT came when he lined up in his familiar<br />

slot position on the left side of the defense...Identified and closed hard<br />

on a quick-out to TE Brandon Pettigrew, acrobatically diving over the TEs<br />

left shoulder to pluck the pass from QB Matthew Stafford...With his sixth<br />

INT, joined CB Bobby Dillon as the only two players in franchise history to<br />

register four seasons with six-plus INTs...Play stood as his 36th INT since<br />

joining the Packers in 2006, a total that is now tied with S Darren Sharper<br />

as the fifth highest in team history...Also was the 53rd INT of his career<br />

and tied him with Ty Law and Deion Sanders for the 23rd highest total in<br />

league history...Earlier in the game, also drew a holding call against WR<br />

Nate Burleson that wiped out a 16-yard gain by RB Kevin Smith on Lions<br />

opening possession.<br />

passes defensed and his seventh INT of the season against the team that<br />

drafted him...Now has four seven-plus INT seasons with the Packers,<br />

joining Dillon as the only two players in franchise history to ac<strong>com</strong>plish<br />

the feat...On the play, got a jam on WR Darrius Heyward-Bey at the line of<br />

scrimmage and stepped in front of a slant thrown by QB Carson Palmer...<br />

Also broke up a play on the Raiders’ next drive, when he stepped in front<br />

of a Palmer throw near the sideline intended for WR Chaz Schilens, nearly<br />

intercepting it.<br />

at Kansas City Chiefs (12/18): Finished as the team’s leading tackler, collecting<br />

12 (10 solo) on what was an active day for him, particulary against the<br />

Chiefs’ formidable rushing attack...Made two consecutive plays as part of<br />

an excellent goal line stand that forced a turnover on downs in the second<br />

quarter...On the first, a second-and-1 from the Green Bay 3-yard line, shot<br />

inside of lead-blocking FB Le’Ron McClain, diving to trip up RB Jackie<br />

Battle for a 1-yard loss in the Kansas City backfield...On the following play,<br />

took down RB Thomas Jones after a 1-yard gain, forcing a fourth-and-1<br />

that the defense also valiantly thwarted, giving the ball to the Packers’<br />

offense...Also made a no-gain stop of Jones on a carry on the Chiefs’ first<br />

drive of the second half, slipping beneath G Jon Asamoah to drop the RB<br />

at the line of scrimmage, forcing a third-and-long.<br />

<strong>vs</strong>. Chicago Bears (12/25): Finished with four tackles and a pass defensed...<br />

Had good coverage on the inside as he carried WR Earl Bennett down the<br />

seam on a play in the third quarter...Forced QB Josh McCown to make a<br />

high throw and the ball deflected off of Bennett’s hands and into the arms<br />

of S Charlie Peprah for an INT.<br />

94 Jarius Wynn, DE, 3rd Year, Georgia<br />

2011 Season: Developing young veteran who was been pressed into<br />

starting duty in place of the injured Mike Neal (knee) in the season’s earlygoing...Has<br />

appeared in all 15 games, making four starts and recording<br />

career highs with 31 tackles (<strong>17</strong> solo) and three sacks...Sack total ranks<br />

tied for No. 3 on the team.<br />

<strong>vs</strong>. New Orleans Saints (9/8): Had arguably his finest performance as a pro,<br />

seeing extended playing time in the absence of Neal (knee) and tallying a<br />

then career-high four tackles (all solo, including one for loss) and a sack...<br />

On his sack, came from a standing position outside of LT Jermon Bushrod,<br />

delaying his rush to the outside and then working back in to drop QB Drew<br />

Brees at the line of scrimmage...Tackle for loss came on an equally impressive<br />

play where he fought off an initial block by LG Carl Nicks, identified a<br />

screen pass to RB Darren Sproles, quickly attacking it and hitting the ballcarrier<br />

for a loss of four yards...Also made back-to-back plays to force a<br />

turnover on downs late in the third quarter...On third-and-1, got significant<br />

push on TE David Thomas at the line, allowing Bishop to fly in untouched<br />

to make the hit on RB Mark Ingram, stopping him for no gain...On the<br />

ensuing fourth-down attempt, shed a cut block by Thomas and pressured<br />

Brees along with LB Clay Matthews, forcing a throw-away that led to New<br />

Orleans’ surrendering of the possession.<br />

at Carolina Panthers (9/18): Started his first career game, at RDE, with the<br />

defense opening in its base 3-4 alignment...Saw action on a career-high 59<br />

plays and topped his previous week’s career-high output with a personalbest<br />

against the run, he shed G Geoff Hangartner and dropped RB Jonathan<br />

Stewart after a gain of 1 yard on a second-down play in the first quarter,<br />

forcing a third-and-long...Part of a stingy front that allowed the Panthers’<br />

notable RB tandem of Stewart and DeAngelo Williams to rush for just 18<br />

yards on 11 carries (1.6 avg.) during the game.<br />

at Chicago Bears (9/25): Was the team’s leading sack-man through three<br />

games after posting the first two-sack game of his career against the<br />

rival Bears...First sack came on a first down at the beginning of the third<br />

quarter, when he lined up as the RDE in the base 3-4 front...Came through<br />

unblocked as part of a 5-man pressure and took down QB Jay Cutler for<br />

an 8-yard loss...The play created both a second- and third-and-long and an<br />

eventual punt...Made his second sack just two drives later, when he lined<br />

up outside the shoulder of LT J’Marcus Webb and used an upfield rush...<br />

Used his momentum and leverage to shove Webb aside and create separation,<br />

then changing direction to move forward into the pocket to drop<br />

Cutler for another 8-yard loss...Was credited with three tackles (two solo)<br />

during the game and doubled his previous career sack total (1½ between<br />

2009-10) three games into the young season.<br />

loss) on the afternoon...Tackle for loss came on Denver’s the final drive of<br />

kept off the scoreboard entirely.<br />

<strong>vs</strong>. St. Louis Rams (10/16): Saw action on 33 plays while rotating with DE<br />
