LIONS AT PACKERS - WEEK 17 ON THE ROAD AGAIN Green Bay went 7-1 on the road this season, with the seven road wins setting a single-season franchise record. The Packers have been able to stay above the .500 mark on the road during McCarthy’s tenure, a notable achievement in the National Football League. Since 2006, McCarthy’s first season as the head coach in Green Bay, only 11 of 32 NFL teams have regular-season road records above .500. Team W-L record Pct. 1. New England 35-13-0 .729 2. N.Y. Giants 31-17-0 .646 3. New Orleans 30-18-0 .625 4. Philadelphia 29-18-1 .615 5. Indianapolis 28-19-0 .596 6. Green Bay 28-20-0 .583 7. Dallas 27-20-0 .574 8. Pittsburgh 26-21-0 .553 9. San Diego 25-22-0 .532 10t. N.Y. Jets 24-23-0 .511 10t. Tennessee 24-23-0 .511 300 AND COUNTING Another packed house at Lambeau Field against the Bears on Sunday brought the stadium’s consecutive sellouts streak to 300 games (284 regular season, 16 playoffs). The Week 7 crowd in 2010 of 71,107 vs. Minnesota was the third-largest regular-season crowd in Lambeau Field history. The league’s longest-tenured stadium, Lambeau Field is hosting its 55th season of football this year. A total of 566,362 fans made their way through the turnstiles in the eight home contests in 2010. Across American professional sports, only Boston’s Fenway Park (1912) and Chicago’s Wrigley Field (1914) have longer tenures. THE LAMBEAU ADVANTAGE The crown jewel of the National Football League, Lambeau Field has long been known as one of the tougher venues to play in, particularly during the harsh Wisconsin winter. Re-establishing home-field advantage after a 4-4 mark in 2008 was one of the goals of 2009, and with the Packers finishing 6-2 at home, they accomplished that goal. Green Bay followed that up with a 7-1 mark at Lambeau Field in 2010. Head Coach Mike McCarthy stated consistently upon his arrival in Green Bay that one of the team’s goals would be to reclaim the mystique of playing at Lambeau Field. Mission accomplished. The team is 33-8 (.805) at home over the past 41 regular-season games, good for No. 2 in the NFL over that span behind only New England (36-4, .900). Since Ron Wolf and Mike Holmgren began the revitalization of the franchise in 1992, Green Bay owns the best home record in the NFL. A look at the top regular-season home W-L records since the ’92 season: Team W-L record Pct. 1. Green Bay 121-38-0 .761 2. Pittsburgh 116-43-1 .728 3. New England 110-49-0 .692 4. Baltimore (since ’96) 88-39-1 .691 5. Denver 109-50-0 .686 HOME COOKING The Packers’ win over Dallas at Lambeau in November 2009 was the first step to a 7-1 finish and a playoff berth for Green Bay. Since that Week 10 victory over the Cowboys in ’09, the Packers have been the best team in the league at home. Green Bay’s lone defeat since then came to Miami last season in Week 6 when the Packers fell to the Dolphins in overtime. Team W-L record Pct. 1. Green Bay 18-1-0 .947 2. New England 17-1-0 .944 3. Baltimore 18-2-0 .900 4. San Francisco 15-4-0 .789 IN THE FREE-AGENCY ERA Talk of unrestricted free agency in the early ’90s led many to forecast tough times for the small-town Green Bay Packers. However, Green Bay has remained among the most successful teams since the advent of free agency in 1993. The Packers have won 10 or more games 10 times since ’93 and captured seven division crowns.
