Engebretsen did it all for Green Bay

Paul "Tiny" Engebretsen's road to the Green Bay Packers was well-traveled. When Engebretsen played for the Chicago Bears, he was an athletic guard who even kicked a field goal in the snow to help beat the Green Bay Packers, 9-0, in 1932. He won his first National Football League championship with the Bears as a rookie starter, a 9-0 triumph over the Portsmouth Spartans in which Engebretsen booted the extra point after the game's only touchdown by Red Grange.

Tie ruined Packers' perfect season

In the 90-year history of the Green Bay football franchise, the team has never posted a perfect season. The Packers have been close, but no cigar. In one season they did not lose any games, but the blemish was a tie in a defensive slugfest against a now-defunct opponent. Green Bay has won 654 games, lost 518 and tied 36 regular-season games since joining the professional ranks in 1921.

Left with outside project

Green Bay — The great 3-4 defensive teams traditionally have a pair of terrific outside linebackers. Lamar Woodley and James Harrison helped Pittsburgh win Super Bowl XLIII. Willie McGinest and Mike Vrabel were a huge reason New England won three Super Bowls in four years last decade.

Run done: 3-4 stopped opponents cold

Green Bay — Mike McCarthy had seen enough. During his first three years as Green Bay Packer coach, McCarthy's teams had an average rank of 18th against the run. They allowed an average of 116.2 rushing yards per game and 4.20 yards per carry. So when McCarthy contemplated switching to a 3-4 scheme last off-season, stopping the run was priority No. 1.

Patching up pass defense

The visuals will probably be burned into the brains of Green Bay's fan base for years to come. First, there was Kurt Warner throwing touchdowns to somebody named Early Doucet. Later, Larry Fitzgerald went to work on the Packer secondary. Oh, and don't forget Steve Breaston, who terrorized Green Bay's defensive backs all day.
