Written off in August, predicted to be a one-and-done playoff team and named one of the worst No. 2 seeds ever. Yet here they are, preparing for the NFC Championship Game against the San Francisco 49ers.
The Green Bay Packers might not have their offense from 2011 or their defense from 2010, but they are a well-balanced team that knows how to win. You don’t make it this far and win 14 of your 17 games, sweep your division and win a playoff game without talented players and being well-coached.
The Packers are set for a rematch with the 49ers.
