70 Years Ago
Here is a look at your Green Bay Packers… as they were 70 years ago. The 1941 Green Bay Packers competed in their 21st season in the National Football League. The club posted a 10-1 record under coach Curly Lambeau, earning a tie for first place in the Western Conference with the Chicago Bears. One week after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, the Packers and Bears played a one-game playoff in Chicago to determine who would play in the N.F.L. Championship Game. The Packers lost 33-14, in the first post-season game ever played between the archrivals. The second post-season game came 70 years later, in the N.F.C. Conference Championship game on January 22, 2011. We all know the outcome of that game, eh?
