1929-1931 Lambeau's team arrives
After a near-miss in 1927, Lambeau's squad claimed the Packers' first NFL title in 1929
with an undefeated 12–0–1 campaign, behind a stifling defense which
registered eight shutouts. Green Bay would repeat as league champions in
1930 and 1931, bettering teams from New York, Chicago and throughout the league, with all-time greats and future Hall of Famers Mike Michalske, Johnny (Blood) McNally, Cal Hubbard and Green Bay native Arnie Herber.
Among the many impressive accomplishments of these years was the
Packers' streak of 30 consecutive home games without defeat, an NFL
record which still stands.
