Pack Likely To Set NFL Record vs. Rams 

Post#1 » by MickeyDavis » Sun Oct 16, 2011 2:47 am

We currently have an 11 game winning streak and during those 11 games we have not trailed in the 4th quarter. We were tied briefly against the Bears in week 17 last year. Two other teams have similar 11 game streaks, 1975 Steelers and 2005 Colts. Unless the Rams have a 4th quarter lead tomorrow the record will be ours. Here's what Cold Hard Football Facts says:

In winning the last six games of the 2010 season on their way to claiming Super Bowl XLV, and starting 5-0 in 2011, the Packers have not trailed in the fourth quarter one time during the 11-game streak. Only once have they been tied, and that was just briefly against the Bears in week 17.

Before the season started we looked at the front-running nature of the Packers, and how they win almost all of their games by getting ahead and staying there. Right now they’re performing at a level where no team is able to get ahead of them and force them to come back in the fourth quarter.

Since they haven’t been blowing every team out, the defense has been exceptional in preventing late-game rallies by the opponent. They secured key fourth quarter interceptions against Jay Cutler in week 17, Michael Vick in the NFC Wild Card, Caleb Hanie (twice) in the NFC Championship, and from Matt Ryan on Sunday night. They forced the fumble of Rashard Mendenhall in the Super Bowl, and they had goal line stands this season against the Saints and Panthers.
I'm against picketing but I don't know how to show it.

I hadn't really thought about being 11-0 over the last span of games.

That is pretty impressive.

Especially since the final 6 last season were all elimination games.

Last loss with Rodgers playing all 4 quarters was November 28th last year against the Falcons.

16-1 in the last 17 games with Rodgers healthy.

I read the title and thought the record we would set would be most points scored in a game.
