On Oct. 18, the Buccaneers routed the Packers 38-10, but that was at Tampa, while Sunday's NFC title game will be at Lambeau Field as future Hall of Famers Aaron Rodgers and Tom Brady meet for just the fourth time.

When Thompson decided to move on from Sherman, he interviewed six candidates for the job. In the end, he made what he called “an East Texas gut call” and chose McCarthy, who delivered the team’s fourth Super Bowl title when he led the 2010 Packers to a 31-25 victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers, the team McCarthy grew up cheering for as a kid growing up in the Pittsburgh neighborhood of Greenfield.
As much as Lombardi loved Hornung, the legendary coach and the team’s other star ball-carrier, Taylor, often butted heads. After the 1966 season, when Taylor played out his option and signed with the expansion New Orleans Saints, Lombardi criticized him publicly for it.
