philadelphia eagles
the 2010 green bay packers season was the 92nd season overall and their 90th season in the national football league. although they finished with only a respectable 10–6 record, good for a second-place finish in the nfc north, the packers never lost a game by more than four points, and never trailed by more than seven the entire season, becoming the only team since the afl-nfl merger in 1970 to accomplish this. all six of their regular season losses were by a combined 20 points. they entered the playoffs as the nfc's sixth seed. after defeating the philadelphia eagles 21–16 in the wild card round, the atlanta falcons 48–21 in the divisional round and long time rivals, chicago bears 21–14 in the nfc championship, the team advanced to super bowl xlv in which they faced the afc's 2nd seed pittsburgh steelers. the packers defeated the steelers 31–25 to win their fourth super bowl and 13th nfl championship. the packers became the second overall team after the 2005 pittsburgh steelers, and the first nfc team, to win the super bowl as a sixth seed, as well as becoming the second nfc team to win three straight road playoff games (the 2007 new york giants won three straight road games as a five seed).

after the 1970 merger, the nfl decided to keep only the traditional detroit and dallas games. due to the broadcast contracts in place since 1970, three nfc teams play on thanksgiving, as opposed to only one afc outfit. during even years, the lions play their thanksgiving game against an afc team, and thus are televised by the network holding the afc package (nbc and later cbs); the cowboys host an nfc team and are shown by the network with the nfc package (cbs and later fox). during odd years, dallas hosts an afc team and detroit plays an nfc opponent (usually another nfc north team, and often the green bay packers, who draw high tv ratings). every decade or so, this even-odd rotation was reversed, detroit hosting an nfc team in even years and an afc team in odd years, dallas hosting an afc team in even years and an nfc team in odd years. detroit is always the early broadcast and dallas the mid-afternoon broadcast.
