Once upon a time, going to Lambeau Field for a playoff game was one of the most intimidating scenarios in sports.
The Packers did not lose a playoff game in Green Bay until the 2002 season, when Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Vick led an upset win at Lambeau. And the Packers haven’t been quite as scary in home playoff games since then. Teams led by Eli Manning, Colin Kaepernick and others have wrecked that mystique. Kind of.
It’s still true that no team wants to go to Green Bay in January, and the Packers are still alive for the No.
