Three games remain in the 2020 regular season, and the Green Bay Packers are in control of their own destiny to have the playoffs pass through Lambeau Field for the first time since the 2011 season.
It’s been even longer than that since the Packers hosted an NFC Championship game; it’s never happened in the Aaron Rodgers era. It was, of course, Brett Favre’s last game in green and gold that was the most recent Lambeau Field championship game, the January 2008 contest in the frigid night air against the New York Giants that ended in heartbreak.
It’s rather hard to believe that as many times as the Packers have made it to the NFC Championship in the Rodgers era, they’ve never once hosted it.
