Filed under: Packers, NFC North
For the past 10 years, the NFC had 10 different representatives in the Super Bowl, so one of the 16 teams from the conference had to go to Dallas on Feb. 6 to play in the biggest game in all of sports. But to the Packers' credit, they were one of the few legit teams from the NFC predicted to go to the Super Bowl.While some clubs from the NFC who went to the league's title game during that stretch were not always the best squad from the conference, the path the Packers had to take allowed them to actually emerge as the best representative of the NFC this season and not only for being the hottest team in the NFL.
"You really have no control of the path. That's part of the deal," said Packers head coach Mike McCarthy. "I mean, every season's different. You just try to keep it on the road. So our particular path this year, in hindsight, has made us a stronger football team. It's shaped us in a different way. We've had opportunity, really, to play five playoff games going into this Super Bowl. So I think that really helps us. We feel like we're a razor-sharp team as far as the level of play that we've been bringing to the table here the last month.
"We knew we were a good football team when we came out of training camp. We knew we'd have an opportunity to be part of this. And things sometimes go your way, sometimes they don't. But I think it speaks volumes about the men in the locker room, the character, everybody keeping an eye on their target."
