longest opponent Winning stReaks bRoken by packeRs

On Jan. 1, 2006, Green Bay ended Seattle’s 11-game winning streak. Previously, the longest streak Green Bay had ever halted was a 10-game run by the Lions, at Detroit on Nov. 25, 1934, a 3-0 final. Prior to that Seattle contest, Lambeau Field’s longest streak ever stopped was Denver’s nine-game run in 1996.
