The Packers and Denver were tied 10-10 at halftime in their preseason game last night. The Broncos went on to win the game 20-17.

In the Mike McCarthy era (from 2006-current), the Packers have not been a very good team when a game is tied at halftime. Since McCarthy took over the helm in ’06, the team is 3-7 (.300 winning percentage) in games that are tied at halftime. They are 2-4 on the road and 1-3 in those games. In fact, the Packers have lost seven of their last eight games when the game was tied at halftime.
