The 2010 Madden NFL 11 Season: Green Bay's Wild Card Run to Glory

The Setup: The Trio of 15–1 Powerhouses

The 2010 regular season was defined by three historic juggernauts that separated themselves from the rest of the league:

Tom Brady’s MVP Masterclass:

Tom Brady swept both League MVP and Offensive Player of the Year honors, while Bill Belichick captured Coach of the Year as the New England Patriots rolled to an AFC-best 15-1 record.

Pittsburgh’s Defensive Gauntlet:

The Pittsburgh Steelers matched New England’s pace at 15-1, anchored by Defensive Player of the Year Troy Polamalu and a punishing defense.

The Rise of Atlanta:

In the NFC, the Atlanta Falcons stunned the league by ripping off a conference-best 15-1 campaign to secure the #1 overall seed.

The NFC North Dogfight:

The Chicago Bears (13-3) and Green Bay Packers (12-4) engaged in a fierce divisional battle, forcing Aaron Rodgers and the high-powered Packers into the Wild Card round.

The Postseason: Bracket Chaos & Historic Rivalries

January football brought shocking upsets, eliminating regular-season giants and setting up iconic matchups:

Wild Card Statements:

Beginning in the AFC, the #6 seed New York Jets upset the #3 seed Indianapolis Colts on a last-second field goal to win 32-29, while the #5 seed Baltimore Ravens destroyed the #4 seed Kansas City Chiefs 42-7 at Arrowhead Stadium.

Over in the NFC, the #3 seed Seattle Seahawks relied on RB Marshawn Lynch in a thrilling 38-34 victory over the defending Super Bowl champion #6 seed New Orleans Saints, and the #5 seed Green Bay Packers, led by QB Aaron Rodgers, outlasted the #4 seed Philadelphia Eagles 26-10 at Lincoln Financial Field.

The Giant Killers:

In the AFC Divisional Round, the #6 seed New York Jets shocked the #1 seed New England Patriots 28-21 in Foxborough, while the #5 seed Baltimore Ravens fell to the #2 seed Pittsburgh Steelers 20-17.

Meanwhile in the NFC Divisional Round, the #5 seed Green Bay Packers traveled south and stunned the #1 seed Atlanta Falcons 31-21, and the #2 seed Chicago Bears held off the #3 seed Seattle Seahawks 26-20.

Championship Sunday Grudge Matches:

The NFC Championship featured one of football’s most historic rivalries: the #5 seed Green Bay Packers against the #2 seed Chicago Bears at Soldier Field. Green Bay’s defense held firm in the freezing cold, edging Chicago 24-17 to advance to the Super Bowl.
