A mature, opportunistic defense. More than any other elements, those are the salient reasons why the Green Bay Packers have planted the seed of a dynasty in the Central Division of the National Football Conference. Everyone had a different spin for a game that meant nothing for the Broncos, who were without their leader, quarterback John Elway, their best offensive lineman, left tackle Gary Zimmerman, and any incentive because they already had wrapped up home-field advantage throughout the playoffs. However you want to slice it, though, the team with the best record by two games in the National Football League had come to Green Bay and suffered its worst loss since November 1988. But all those things will not detract at all from what we accomplished today.
Football players are football players, and coaches are coaches.
When you step on the field, don't tell me anyone goes out there not wanting to win. That never happens. I think we have a great team, but it's not easy for anyone to go on the road and make it to the Big Show. We didn't lose to a superior team. They just outperformed us today.
