Comments

• Should probably note in the lead and body that the Packers were defending Super Bowl champions. Seems noteworthy. Here is a good spot for the lead: "The Packers had already secured the first seed" → "The defending Super Bowl champion Packers had already secured the first seed"
• "lost 5 of their next seven games" five should probably be written out.
• "The Lions got the ball back" This might be picky but I don't believe "got" is proper grammar.
• "after the Detroit went up 9-0 in the " → "after the Lions went up 9–0 in the " (add endash instead of hyphen)
• "The game lacked defense execution, although it was noted that the return of key starters for the Packers, including Matthews and Woodson, should boost the defense" Would "defensive execution" sound better? Also, prior in the article, it said those two guys were sitting out this game?
• "Rodgers threw six touchdowns in a game in 2012 and a game in 2014" → "Rodgers threw six touchdowns in a game in both 2012 and 2014"
• Do you think the wind mph and wind chill from PFR are worthy of including in the body and/or table. Both data points were mentioned in this ref.
• Image licensing is good.

Spot checks

• Ref 8 looks good
• Ref 10 looks good other than do you know if the announcers are listed in ref 10 or 11. I didn't see them in either but I might have missed it.
  • Removed the announcers. « Gonzo fan2007 (talk) @ 16:03, 8 July 2025 (UTC)
    • I wasn't necessarily suggesting that they be removed. There's probably a source somewhere? ~WikiOriginal-9~ (talk) 16:20, 8 July 2025 (UTC)
• Ref 11 looks good
• Ref 19 I scanned over this ref multiple times but I don't see where it says 15 wins was the most in franchise history? The rest for this ref looks good.
  • At the very end of the first column, it says The Packers thus wrapped up a 15-1 regular season, the most regular-season wins in franchise history. « Gonzo fan2007 (talk) @ 16:03, 8 July 2025 (UTC)
• Ref 26 This is really picky and silly, but that ref doesn't actually say Wilson played 10 seasons in Seattle.
  • I think the article does highlight his ten seasons starting with the team, even though it doesn't say that exactly. Thoughts? « Gonzo fan2007 (talk) @ 16:03, 8 July 2025 (UTC)

@Gonzo fan2007: Everything is done on this review now except a follow-up question about the announcers. ~WikiOriginal-9~ (talk) 16:24, 8 July 2025 (UTC)

I added the announcers with a source WikiOriginal-9. « Gonzo fan2007 (talk) @ 18:23, 8 July 2025 (UTC)
