According to Packers CB Charles Woodson, the key to making it to the Super Bowl is peaking at the right time.

As players and coaches began to arrive for the Pro Bowl on Monday, it became immediately clear that we’ll be seeing a major Packers presence throughout the week. And not just because Clay Matthews owned the pool for much of the day.

NFL Network’s second-half schedule of Thursday night games kicks off at 8 p.m. ET with an important divisional showdown, as Carson Palmer’s Oakland Raiders battle Philip Rivers’ San Diego Chargers for first place in the AFC West.

Admit it, you’re one of the thousands of NFL fans suffering from draft withdrawal. We understand. And we agree with you that it is never too early to talk about next year’s draft.

Even though Charles Woodson wouldn’t be able to play during the second half of the Super Bowl due to a broken collarbone, the emotional leader of the Packers reflected on the moment and his first Super Bowl in 13 NFL seasons.

Big series all in shotgun, empty with no backs. Green Bay decided not to pressure, went with mostly three- or four-man rush and the Steelers were able to move the ball.

The Steelers went on a 12-play drive and only got three points. To me that is not good. You have to come up with more than three points.

We made it to the press box, and we are ready to start the game. But in the meantime, we kick around our picks for Super Bowl MVP. Come on in and make your own.

Packers CB Charles Woodson has a chance to become just the fifth player ever to earn both a Heisman Trophy and Super Bowl MVP.

Mike McCarthy was the second coach to take the podium on Monday. Here are a few highlights from his session with the media:

If there is a difference between the 3-4 defenses of the Packers and Steelers — and I think there is — in my mind it’s the youth and talent of Packers cornerbacks Sam Shields, Tramon Williams and Charles Woodson.

President Barack Obama followed up his State of the Union Address on Tuesday by holding up a Green Bay Packers jersey on Wednesday.
