Six years ago this coming January, will be the anniversary of one of the most famous narrative driven NFL games in recent memory. Of course, we’re talking about the day time stood still- or at least should have- in the 2011 NFC championship game, where Green Bay defeated Chicago at Soldier Field en route to the organization’s fourth Super Bowl title.
That season was also only the fourth time both teams had ever made the playoffs at the same time. This was only their second meeting in the postseason ever, and the first since 1941. A game of immeasurable hype that now seems like a fleeting memory in a different world.
