Packers special teams facing tough test vs. Vikings

Green Bay — The Green Bay Packers already know what it's like to lose a big game because of their special teams.

Their overtime loss to the Seattle Seahawks in the NFC Championship Game last season will live in infamy the same as fourth-and-26 will live on for the defense and the Brett Favre Ice Bowl II interception will live on for the offense.

The ramifications of those special teams failures — assistant coach Shawn Slocum getting fired, coach Mike McCarthy giving up play-calling duties — have been felt all the way into the back end of the 2015 season.
