2006 IN REVIEW
The Packers who had hopes of improving off a 4-12 season with new Coach Mike McCarthy didn't start off on the right foot as they were shutout in their season opener at Lambeau Field by the rival Chicago Bears 26-0. After losing their first two games at home, the Packers earned their first win in Detroit beating the Lions 31-24 as Brett Favre passed the 400 career touchdown milestones with 3 TD passes and 340 yards passing. However, the Packers would continue to struggle as they dropped their next two to enter the bye week 1-4. Following the bye week, the Packers played much better, as they won three of their next four games. However, at home their struggles continued as they were shutout for the second time at Lambeau Field by the New England Patriots 35-0, as Brett Favre missed the second half with an injury, as back up Aaron Rodgers struggled completing just 4-of-12 passes for 32 yards, before getting injured himself. While Rodgers was lost for a season, Favre shook of the injuries and continued his streak of starts, which at season's end was 257, including playoff games. However after two more losses it was going to take a miracle for the Packers who were 4-8 to make the playoffs in 2006. That's not to say the Packers were going to give up as they stunned the San Francisco 49ers on the road 30-19 as Donald Driver had a stellar game with 169 receiving yards. After struggling at home all season the Packers kept their faint playoff hopes alive by beating the Lions and Minnesota Vikings to improve to 7-8 heading into the final game of the season a rematch with the Bears in Chicago. With the Bears-Packers game taking place in prime time the Packers knew when kickoff arrived if they had a chance to make the playoffs. Unfortunately for the Packers, they were not able to get the help they need, but they beat the Bears any way 26-7 finishing with an 8-8 record. Following the season Brett Favre would not mull retirement long as he announced his intentions to return early, with several of Dan Marino career passing records in reach.
PACKERS HEAD COACHING DEBUTS
Mike McCarthy became the first Packers coach to face the Bears in his debut since Vince Lombardi in 1959. The game also kept one of the oddest NFL facts intact - no Packer head coach (not including interim coaches) has played his first official league on the road, until Matt LaFleur broke that string in 2019.:
* CURLY LAMBEAU (October 23, 1921) - Green Bay 7, Minneapolis Marines 6 (Hagemeister Park) - After the Marines took the lead on a 3-yard run by Ben Dvorak, the Packers won late in the fourth, when Art Schmeal ran four yards for the tying score. Lambeau kicked the extra point for the win.
* GENE RONZANI (September 17, 1950) - Detroit 45, Green Bay 7 (City Stadium) - Bo McMillan's "new" Detroit Lions, sparked by Bobby Layne's passing, romped over the Packers. The former Texas whiz completed eight of 12 passes for 171 yards and one touchdown all in the first half.
* RAY (SCOOTER) MCLEAN/HUGH DEVORE (December 6, 1952) - San Francisco 48, Green Bay 14 (Kezar Stadium) - After losing on Thanksgiving Day in Detroit, and being outscored 27–0 in the second half, Gene Ronzani resigned the next day with two games remaining and received a $7,500 severance (most likely choosing to quit rather than being fired). McLean and fellow Packer assistant Devore completed the season as co-head coaches; Green Bay lost both road games in California to extend the season's losing streak to five games and finish at 2–9–1.
* LIZ BLACKBOURN (September 26, 1954) - Pittsburgh 21, Green Bay 20 (City Stadium) - It was a 37-yard pass from Jim Finks to Ray Matthews in the last five minutes of play that pulled the Steelers into a tie. Ed Kissell, who kicked Pittsburgh's first two extra points, aggravated a back injury and Paul Held came in to kick the game-winning point, just clearing the crossbar.
* SCOOTER MCLEAN (September 28, 1958) - Chicago Bears 34, Green Bay 20 (City Stadium) - Willie Galimore scored three touchdowns on rushes of one and eight yards and a 79-yard pass for the Bears. On the bright side, rookie LB Ray Nitschke forced a fumble, blocked a field goal attempt, and pressured Chicago QB Ed Brown into an interception.
* VINCE LOMBARDI (September 27, 1959) - Green Bay 9, Chicago Bears 6 (City Stadium) - The last time Green Bay held the "Monsters of the Midway" without a touchdown was in 1938 when the Bears won, 2-0. Jim Ringo pounced on a fumble on the Bears' 26 to set up the victory. Paul Hornung and Jim Taylor, took turns rushing, until Taylor swung around end from the five for the score.
* PHIL BENGTSON (September 15, 1968) - Green Bay 30, Philadelphia 13 (Lambeau Field) - The Packers were 17-point favorites. Bart Starr hit on 14 of 18 passes for 230 yards and two first half touchdowns. And a 50-yard kickoff return by Herb Adderley, Bob Jeter's interception and rookie Francis Winkler's recovery of an Eagle onside kick kept the Packers rolling.
* DAN DEVINE (September 19, 1971) - NY Giants 42, Green Bay 40 (Lambeau Field) - A pair of second-quarter TDs on fumble recoveries just six seconds apart by LB Ralph Heck and S Joe Green on the ensuing kickoff, along with three TD receptions by WR Rich Houston, led the Giants. Green Bay's Ken Ellis tied an NFL record by returning a missed FG 100 yards for a touchdown. Devine broke his leg in a pileup following a 4th quarter interception by Doug Hart.
* BART STARR (September 21, 1975) - Detroit 30, Green Bay 16 (County Stadium) - The Lions converted three Steve Broussard blocked punts, two by Levi Johnson and one by Ben Davis into three touchdowns.
* FORREST GREGG (September 2, 1984) - Green Bay 24, St. Louis 23 (Lambeau Field) - Neil O'Donoghue missed a game- winning 45-yard field goal with 2:10 left in the game, as the Packers won their fifth straight opener.
* LINDY INFANTE (September 4, 1988) - Los Angeles 34, Green Bay 7 (Lambeau Field) - Green Bay lost 4 fumbles in the game, including 3 in the first quarter, and was intercepted 3 times, as the Rams ran out to a 21-0 halftime lead
* MIKE HOLMGREN (September 6, 1992) - Minnesota 23, Green Bay 20 (OT) (Lambeau Field)- Terry Allen's 45-yard run to the Packer 11 set up Fuad Reveiz's 25-yard FG, giving Dennis Green the win in his first game as Vikings coach.
* RAY RHODES (September 12, 1999) - Green Bay 28, Oakland 24 (Lambeau Field) - Brett Favre led the Packers on an 11-play, 82-yard TD drive in the final 1:51
* MIKE SHERMAN (September 3, 2000) - NY Jets 20, Green Bay 16 (Lambeau Field) - Jets safety Victor Green intercepted a Favre pass deep in Jets' territory to dash Green Bay's hopes of a fourth-quarter comeback.
* MIKE MCCARTHY (September 10, 2006) - Chicago Bears 26, Green Bay 0 (Lambeau Field) - The Bears delivered the first shutout of Favre's 16-year career on Sunday, beating the Green Bay Packers 26-0 at Lambeau Field. It was the first time the Packers were shut out since a 10-0 victory by the Bears on Oct. 17, 1991 - a streak of 233 games. It was the fourth-longest such streak in league history and second-longest active streak at the time (The Minnesota Vikings have not been shut out in 236 games).
* JOE PHILBIN (December 9, 2018) - Green Bay 34, Atlanta 20 (Lambeau Field) - Following their first loss to the Cardinals (Chicago-St. Louis-Phoenix-Arizona) since 1949, McCarthy was fired by the Packers hours after the game. Philbin became the first head coach to debut during a season in 66 years. Aaron Rodgers threw two touchdown passes and set an NFL record for interception-free football, as the Packers guaranteed the Falcons a losing record for the first time since 2014. Rodgers ended the game with 359 consecutive attempts without an interception to break the league record previously held by New England's Tom Brady (358 in 2010-11).
* MATT LAFLEUR (September 5, 2019) - Green Bay 10, Chicago Bears 3 (Soldier Field) - The Packers had a staggering negative-12 yards of total offense in the first stanza of play -- the fewest for the franchise in a quarter since 1994. Then the team found enough offense to make LaFleur the first Green Bay coach to win his first game against the Bears since Vince Lombardi in 1959. He was also the first Packer head coach (non-interim) to make his debut on the road.

SUPER BOWL 41 (February 4, 2007 at Miami)
INDIANAPOLIS COLTS 15-4) 29, CHICAGO BEARS (15-3) 17 - Tony Dungy, beaming and sporting an NFL champions cap, waded through the mob on the soggy field until he found his quarterback, Peyton Manning. And there they stood in the rain, the winning Super Bowl coach and the MVP, finally savoring a moment that was a long time coming. A wet and wild night of Super Bowl firsts brought Dungy, Manning and the Indianapolis Colts to the top of the NFL with a 29-17 victory over the Chicago Bears. Manning hit 25 of 38 passes for 247 yards with one touchdown and one interception. Dungy became the first black coach to win the championship, beating good friend and protege Lovie Smith in a game that featured the first two black coaches in the Super Bowl. Dungy’s ring wasn’t the only first. It also was the first rainy Super Bowl and the first time an opening kickoff was run back for a touchdown, when sensational Bears rookie Devin Hester sped downfield for 92 yards. And not since the Buffalo Bills self-destructed with nine turnovers in losing to Dallas 14 years ago had there been so much messiness. The first half was marred by six turnovers, three for each team. Even football’s most clutch kicker, Adam Vinatieri, missed a chip-shot field goal for the Colts, who botched an extra point attempt, too. When much-maligned Bears quarterback Rex Grossman’s wobbly pass was picked off and returned 56 yards for a touchdown by Kelvin Hayden with 11:44 remaining in the fourth quarter, it was over. Chicago, which led the league in takeaways this season, finished with five turnovers, including two interceptions by Grossman. The Colts will take it. It’s their first title since the 1970 season, when they played in Baltimore. And with a running game that perfectly complemented Manning, thanks to Dominic Rhodes and Joseph Addai, who combined for 190 yards—113 on 21 carries by Rhodes and 77 on 19 carries by Addai, who also caught 10 passes for 66 yards. Leading 16-14 at halftime, the Colts spent half the third quarter with a march to Vinatieri’s 24-yard field goal. Twice on the drive, Manning fell to the ground while throwing. But he completed them. Thomas Jones, forced to carry the Bears’ entire rushing load when Cedric Benson was hurt in the first half, was Chicago’s best player. But with Grossman ineffective, even inept, all the Bears managed in the second half was Robbie Gould’s 44-yard field goal late in the third period. Jones finished with 112 yards rushing.
