CHICAGO -- Through his quarter-century of calling NFL defenses, Dom Capers has blitzed hundreds of quarterbacks thousands of times. Some of those blitzes, though, he stashes away for the very special occasions.
Like third-and-15 when you're trying to get to the Super Bowl, for example.
"You've heard me say this many times, but it comes down to two or three or four plays a game" Capers said Sunday night. "We were able to make those today."
So much of the pregame focus was on red-hot Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers that a top-five defense that specialized in creating turnovers went fairly unnoticed -- at least until it made the defining play of Sunday's NFC championship game and helped send the Packers to their first Super Bowl in 13 years.
"I couldn't believe he threw it," nose tackle B.J. Raji said.
