MAGIC(G.B.) = 2. Packers come from behind, stuff and mount Lions.

Since the Packers began league play 87 years ago, they have had a better record than 10-1 after 11 games only one time. That was 1929, their first championship season, when Curly Lambeau's legions played to a 0-0 draw on the road against the Frankford Yellowjackets after 10 straight victories.

"I'll say this," [head coach Mike] McCarthy said. "It was a true gut-check for our football team. This team has arrived as far as playing well in all three phases. For us to step up the way we did today, I thought was impressive."

Next up: another Thursday game, this time in Dallas. (What's up with these Thursday night games? Are the teams playing for the Mid-American title?)
