GREEN BAY—It was only three years ago that the Packers beat the Steelers in Super Bowl XLV, but these are very different teams.

When the Packers and Steelers met in Dallas on Feb. 6, 2011, a lot of players were on the field that day that won’t be in Lambeau Field this Sunday. Start with Charles Woodson and James Harrison, two of the biggest names in the game.

Greg Jennings is gone, and so are Donald Driver, Chad Clifton, Daryn Colledge, Scott Wells, Nick Collins, Frank Zombo, Desmond Bishop, Cullen Jenkins and Howard Green. All of them were starters during the Packers’ run to the Super Bowl, and that doesn’t include Bryan Bulaga, who is still with the team but hasn’t played a down this season.

The Steelers will be without these players from that Super Bowl: Hines Ward, Jonathan Scott, Chris Kemoeatu, Doug Legursky, Flozell Adams, Rashard Mendenhall, David Johnson, Casey Hampton, James Farrior, Bryant McFadden and Harrison. They were all in the starting lineup that day, which means 50 percent of the Steelers’ starting lineup from Super Bowl XLV is gone from the team in three short seasons.

If by "unleash hell" they mean "show up for 60," then yes.

You would think the NFL would be concerned about their own "playing 60" and let the fat kids fend for themselves.
