Football is such a crazy sport. Last week the Green Bay Packers lost a game they should have won. Yesterday at Lambeau Field they won a game that perhaps they should have lost. How to explain Green Bay’s historic comeback win over New Orleans? How does a completely self destructive offense shoot itself in the foot for three quarters, only to transform into a precise, dominating, unstoppable big play unit in the final frame?
It was the kind of victory that felt like a statement. I know we shouldn’t overreact to one game, but this was an important benchmark.
