Two years after he co-founded the Packers with Curly Lambeau, George Calhoun began writing a piece called The Dope Sheet, which served as the official press release and game program from 1921-24.
Honoring Calhoun, the first publicity director, the Packers are running this weekly feature in their release, which is being made available to fans exclusively on Packers.com.
A complete edition of the Dope Sheet will be available each week in PDF format, located in the Packers.com Game Centers.
Here are some highlights from the Week 7 Dope Sheet:
FAVRE IN DOMES: Brett Favre in the Packers' 12 dome wins since 1992 (including postseason) has turned in several outstanding efforts.
- Seven of his 37 career 300-yard passing games (including playoffs) -- and seven of 17 on the road -- have come in domes.
- The third-best game of his career, and best-ever road performance (142.8 rating), came at the Louisiana Superdome in 1995.
- His second-highest single-game completion percentage (.795, 31-of-39) came at the Metrodome in 1998.
- In his 12 dome wins, he has a 100.4 rating, based on 246-of-392 passing (62.8 percent), 2,765 yards, 27 touchdowns and six interceptions.
- In 20 dome losses, he has a 68.6 rating, based on 431-of-695 passing (62.0 percent), 4,672 yards, 25 touchdowns and 42 interceptions.
WHAT'S THE RUSH?: The Packers' rushing offense (142.8 yards per game) ranks No. 5 in the NFL.
- The last time Green Bay finished a season in the Top 5 was 1967, Vince Lombardi's last year as head coach, when they finished second. The Packers haven't ranked in the Top 10 since 1972 (seventh).
- The team is averaging 4.98 yards per carry. The franchise record is 4.96 in 1961.
- No other club has scored more TD on the ground (10). Kansas City is second with nine.
- Green Bay with a rushing TD Sunday would run for a score in a sixth straight game, something the Packers haven't done since 1985-86 (seven consecutive, last four games of 1985, first three of '86).
- The Packers have executed 70 rushing plays in their last two games. The last time they called at least 70 running plays in consecutive games was 1997.
