An ugly, but still welcomed, 9-0 victory over the New York Jets on Halloween left a few wondering if the Packers had the offense to compete, a question that was answered seven days later with a 45-7 rout of the Dallas Cowboys. Rodgers threw three of his 28 touchdown passes on the season in that win, while running back Brandon Jackson scored twice on the ground.

DALLAS (AP) - Jethro Pugh has some advice for folks who consider it a cruel twist of fate that the first Super Bowl hosted by the Dallas Cowboys features the Green Bay Packers and the Pittsburgh Steelers.
