Worst in history? Packers trying to be positive in punt return game

GREEN BAY, Wis. -- Jake Kumerow sees something big for the Green Bay Packers' punt return unit this week.

Of course, the receiver/special-teamer's definition of the word is relative.

For the team on track for the NFL's record for fewest punt return yards in a season, anything that goes forward might qualify.

Through 12 games -- and with just four remaining -- the Packers have literally gone backward in the punt-return game with a season yardage total of minus-8 -- MINUS-8! -- yards.

"We're going to get out of that this week, though," Kumerow said.
