Green Bay Packers and NFL Teams That Look Unstoppable After Week 10

The Green Bay Packers in 2011 are the hottest team since the 2007 New England Patriots, and there is nothing that has reared its ugly head to say that they can’t run the table.

Despite their enormous success, there are other teams in the league that are enjoying similar success, but none have the unblemished record to back it up.

The cream is starting to rise to the top, and the post-lockout rust is officially off the teams in the NFL.

These are the best of the best.

Green Bay Packers

The Green Bay Packers destroyed the Minnesota Vikings on Monday Night Football, and that was just a small example of what they’ve done all season.

With Aaron Rodgers making every Packers fan forget about Brett Favre, there is no question that Green Bay has the most effective offense since the Patriots during their undefeated season.

With a tough defense that plays fast, the Packers will always be in contention for a win. If they have one flaw, it’s the lack of a run game.

San Francisco 49ers

The San Francisco 49ers weren’t expected to do much this season, but an 8-1 start is the kind of surprise that fans love.

Most people knew the defense was solid, but they couldn’t imagine how dominant they have become with Patrick Willis as their physical and emotional leader.

If the 49ers can continue to keep Alex Smith from losing those games by utilizing the run game and giving him enough time in the pocket, they will be a force this season.

Pittsburgh Steelers

It has become very obvious that the Pittsburgh Steelers were in preseason mode to start the season, but they are running hot now.

While the defense was slow and old earlier in this season, they have been rejuvenated and are playing much more effectively. God help teams if Pittsburgh gets their defensive swagger back.

The real key is the development of the pass game in Pittsburgh. No longer does the team depend on the running game to win with Big Ben slinging the ball, but the reemergence of Rashard Mendenhall back into an effective starting running back means a more balanced attack.
