One last look: Super Bowl rematch it’s not

Out of 106 players, it looks like 41 are actually still on the teams. According to How Built on Packers.com though, I counted 25 an hour or so ago.

GREEN BAY—Judging by the personnel, Sunday’s Packers-Steelers showdown at Lambeau Field is no Super Bowl rematch.

That has nothing to do with the Packers’ quarterback situation, either.

Three years is practically an eternity in the NFL. As far as Green Bay and Pittsburgh are concerned, three years has meant turnover of more than half of each roster from Super Bowl XLV.

The numbers are remarkably similar for the two franchises. Whether that says something about the makeup and philosophies of the two organizations, in addition to the nature of the league in general, is a discussion for another day, but here’s the data:

Of the 53 players on Pittsburgh’s roster for Super Bowl XLV, 20 are on the Steelers’ current 53-man roster. That includes 10 players who started in the Super Bowl (four offense, six defense), two who left Pittsburgh and returned (TE Matt Spaeth, S Will Allen), and four who came off the bench in the Super Bowl and start now.

For Green Bay, 21 players from the Super Bowl roster are on the current 53-man, including 11 Super Bowl starters (five offense, six defense), one who left and came back (QB Matt Flynn), and four Super Bowl reserves who start now (aside from Flynn).
