A record setting day for Flynn

January 2, 2012 By

The Green Bay Packers were able to rest a few key members of their football team and close out the season with a 45-41 win over the

Matt Flynn

Detroit Lions at Lambeau Field as well.

With Aaron Rodgers getting a day off, his backup Matt Flynn passed for 480 yards and 6 touchdowns, both of those figures are franchise records.

Wide receiver Jordy Nelson was on the receiving end of three of those Flynn touchdown passes.  That gives Nelson 5 touchdown catches in the last 2 games and 15 for the season.  That ranks Flynn 3rd on the Packers all-time list for touchdowns in a season.  Sterling Sharpe had 18 in 1994 and Don Hutson had 17 in 1942.

The two teams combined for 1,000 yards and 11 touchdowns.  Lions QB Matthew Stafford passed for 520 yards against the Packers defense.  Detroit wideout Calvin Johnson dominated Tramon Williams, catching 11 passes for 244 yards and a touchdown.  Stafford had five touchdown passes on the day.

Packers playoff date is set

January 1, 2012 By

The Green Bay Packers know when they’ll open the 2012 playoffs.  The Packers’ NFC Divisional playoff game has been slated for 3:30pm CT on Sunday, January 15, at Lambeau Field. 

The Packers have a first-round bye and will enter the post season as the #1 seed in the NFC.

The Packers would face the lowest remaining seed in that Jan. 15th playoff game in Green Bay.  The Detroit Lions enter the playoffs as the lowest seed in the NFC (No. 6).  They’ll play at New Orleans and could gain a rematch with the Packers in Green Bay if they can beat the Saints next week.  If New Orleans holds serve at home, then the Packers would get the winner of the other NFC Wild Card game, which will pit No. 5 seed Atlanta against the No. 4 seed New York Giants.  The Giants gained the final spot in the NFC playoffs with a Sunday night win over the Dallas Cowboys.

Packers host Lions Sunday in the regular season finale

December 30, 2011 By

The Green Bay Packers (14-1) will step on the field on last time before the playoffs Sunday as they host the Detroit Lions (10-5) at Lambeau Field for a noon kickoff.

With home-field advantage in the NFC locked up, the Packers have little to play for.  Detroit, however, can clinch the 5th seed in the NFC with a win which would mean Dallas or the New York Giants in the first round instead of New Orleans or San Francisco.

December 26, 2011 By

Aaron Rodgers tossed a career-high five touchdown passes as the Green Bay Packers knocked off the Chicago Bears 35-21 Christmas Night at Lambeau Field.  The win set a franchise record for wins in a season (14) and gave the Packers homefield advantage in the NFC playoffs.

Rodgers 5-TD tosses tied a Packers single game franchise record which had been done 7-times before.  The most recent was Brett Favre in 1998.  Also, Rodgers passed Lynn Dickey’s franchise record of 4458 passing yards in a season.  Rodgers now sits at 4643 on the season.
