Pat Caputo: Lions Won't Catch Packers And Bears Unless Stafford Matches Cutler, Rodgers
Time will tell whether the NFC representative in the upcoming Super Bowl will be little more than a sacrificial lamb for an AFC power, but this much we already know: It will be a division rival of the Lions.
It's the Packers vs. Bears in the NFC title game. Black and Blue division. The NFC North. It rules. For a change.
Too bad the game, in a way, isn't in Green Bay. They could bring up the "Frozen Tundra" line.
Then again, it's cold near Lake Michigan in Chicago this time of the year. Absolutely frigid, actually, and extraordinarily windy.
