The Green Bay receiver thinks that there's a possibility that a battery pack might have contributed to his injury a few weeks back, and we get a close look at the broadcast of the first Super Bowl.
The Green Bay Packers hold four Lombardi trophies and 13 NFL championships, so when the Super Bowl rolls around, it is no surprise to see them mentioned prominently even if they are not participating. In addition, the Packers played both of this year's Super Bowl teams, the Broncos and Panthers, in back-to-back games during the middle of the season, so their opinions of the two teams are getting some attention.
Today, we find a Packers legend being compared to one of the quarterbacks in Sunday's game and a current Packer weighing in on the differences between the two conference champions.
In addition, we are learning more and more about Super Bowl I now that the NFL aired its compiled broadcast of the game, and one of today's curds features a close look at that game. Pro Football Focus broke down that contest, and the name of the player who had the best-graded performance might surprise you.

Peyton Manning was one of the NFL's worst quarterbacks this year, and he still might win a Super Bowl - SBNation.com

Jake Ryan's gradual development pays off | Packersnews.com
Although the rookie linebacker did not take over as the regular starter until week 13, he ended up racking up 50 tackles while providing very good run support. He also showed that he was a sure tackler, but acknowledges that pass coverage is the biggest area where he needs to improve before year two.
