Packers' news...

punter Tim Masthay was NFC Special Teams player of the week,when he tossed a 27 yard touchdown pass,on a fake punt,to Tom Crabtree... it was the first touchdown pass thrown by a Green Bay punter,since November 19,1972,when Ron Widby tossed a 68 yard touchdown pass to Dave Davis... funny thing,now,Green Bay fans can remember something good from a "4th and 26"... Philadelphia Eagles beat the Packers,on January 11,2004,20-17,in overtime,when Philadelphia completed a 4th and 26 play,to force overtime(a field goal tied game,17-17)... Philadelphia called the play,"74 Double Go",a 25 yard slant pass to Freddie Mitchell,and the Packers' fans were heartbroken,when Packers' quarterback Brett Favre(who else?)threw an interception,and the Eagles ran it back 35 yards,for a chip field goal,in overtime to win game 20-17...
