Packers flashback
75 years ago
Nov. 9, 1930: A record-breaking crowd of 22,000 at Wrigley Field, including a contingent of 3,000 Packers fans who mostly traveled by train from Wisconsin, witnessed Green Bay improve to 8-0 with a 13-12 victory. The Bears missed both of their extra points. The Packers’ Johnny Blood and Verne Lewellen caught touchdown passes from Red Dunn, who also added the deciding extra-point kick in the fourth quarter. It was the Packers seventh straight victory over the Bears dating to 1927.

Nov. 7, 1965: The Detroit Lions held the Packers to minus-58 yards in the second half on the way to a 12-7 victory at Lambeau Field. It was the second straight loss for the Packers (6-2), who fell into second place behind Baltimore (7-1) in the Western Conference. The Lions’ defense, led by Alex Karras and Roger Brown, sacked Bart Starr 11 times for 100 yards in losses, including a fourth-quarter safety.

Nov. 5, 1995: T.J. Rubley audibled out of a quarterback sneak and threw an interception that set up a game-winning 39-yard field goal by Fuad Reveiz in the Vikings’ 27-24 victory at the Metrodome. The Packers (5-4) lost Brett Favre (sprained ankle), Reggie White (knee), Ty Detmer (thumb) and Anthony Morgan (leg) to injuries. Favre called the loss, which featured six Packers turnovers, “the worst I’ve ever been involved with.”
Packers-Steelers game to remember
Sept. 27, 1992: Brett Favre made his first NFL start and completed touchdown passes of 76 yards to Sterling Sharpe and 8 yards to Robert Brooks as the Packers (2-2) knocked off the previously unbeaten Pittsburgh Steelers 17-3 at Lambeau Field. Favre completed 14 of 19 passes for 210 yards. It was first-year Steelers coach Bill Cowher’s first loss in the NFL.
