The 1952 Green Bay Packers (6-6)

September 28: Chicago Bears (1-0) 24, Green Bay Packers (0-1) 14

(GREEN BAY) - In the first game at City Stadium where yard line numbers were painted on the field, Chicago rallied from a 7-3 deficit to score 17 unanswered points. The Packers staved off the mighty Bears for the first 30 minutes and held a 7-3 halftime lead. But in the final half, Bob Williams hit on 11 of 18 passes—two of them for touchdowns—to bring Chicago home the winner. Four first half Chicago drives into Packer territory were repulsed by the Green Bay line. The first three times George Blanda tried to salvage something with field goals. He kicked from the 50, 43 and 39 yard lines, but missed them all. The fourth time, Whizzer White collected a 3-pointer from the 30. A second quarter break gave the hard fighting Packers the lead. John Martinkovic blocked a punt by Fred Morrison from the Bears' end zone and Bob Forte recovered on the five. Tobin Rote's successful keeper play on third down around left end produced the touchdown. With five minutes to go in the third period, Williams threw a 25-yard scoring pass to John Dottley to shove Chicago in front. Midway in the final frame, Williams connected for six more points, passing 16 yards to Gene Schroeder. Two minutes later Dottley slammed off the Packer left tackle and roared 44 yards practically untouched into the end zone. The Green Bay offense, operating off the straight T with a minimum of deception, scored once in the final quarter. Only five minutes showed on the clock, when Rote hit Bill Howton and the rookie end from Rice sprinted into the end rone. Howton's first touchdown pass sent him on his way to a then-NFL record 13 touchdown receptions as a rookie.

October 5: Green Bay Packers (1-1) 35, Washington Redskins (1-1) 20

(MILWAUKEE) - Curly Lambeau returned to face the Packers after being fired by the Chicago Cardinals in 1951 with two games remaining. A tough defensive line and a sterling performance by quarterback Babe Parilli landed the Packers a 35-20 victory over Curly Lambeau's Washington Redskins. Parilll, the former Kentucky star, earned his professional letter by uncorking two touchdown passes, setting up a third score and flawlessly directing the Packers on the ground and in the air. The Redskins' attack, with young Eddie LeBaron doing most of the directing, sputtered most of the way as a fired-up Green Bay line burst through repeatedly to hamer their overhead game. Parilll had a finger in all three Green Bay first half touchdowns to account for a 21-7 halftime lead. The Packers struck within the first three minutes as Parilll passed to Bill Howton in a play covering 89 yards. On the opening play of the second quarter, Parilll pitched out to Breezy Reid who went the rest of the way from the 10. Babe followed in the same period with a 40-yard toss to Bobby Mann, who was downed on the 4. From there, Tony Canadeo scored on a wide sweep. The only tally in which Parilli was not directly involved was Fred Cone's 30-yard gallop off tackle midway in tho third quarter. Parilll flipped 28 yards to Tobin Rote, playing left half, for the last Green Bay touchdown in the final quarter. Parilll racked up 248 yards passing, while Howton caught three of his passes for 128 yards and a touchdown.

August 16: New York Giants (1-0) 7, Green Bay Packers (0-1) 0

(MILWAUKEE) – FB Ed Price scored a third-quarter touchdown to lead the Giants over the Packers at Marquette Stadium Saturday night. In the first game of the season for both teams, the Giants matched the running game against the accurate passing arm of the Packers' signal-caller, Tobin Rote. The game drew 22,000 fans. The game had been billed as a passing duel between Rote and Conerly. Rote made the better appearance, connecting on 14 of 30 for 119 yards. Conerly completed eight of 15 for 37 yards. Assisting Rote, Bob Forte completed three of five and Vito (Babe) Parilli, named most valuable player in Friday's College All-Star-Los Angeles game, got none in two tries.

August 29: Pittsburgh Steelers 7, Green Bay Packers (0-3) 6

(LATROBE, PA) - Professional football returned to its birthplace Friday night as the Steelers edged the Packers on the strength of Gary Kerkorian's right toe. An overflow crowd of 10,000 sat through a slow first-half which found neither team able to develop any scoring punch. The Steelers moved to the Packers 24 in the first period, but Kerkorian missed a field goal try when the drive was halted. Early in the third quarter, the Steelers struck after recovering a Green Bay fumble on their own 24. FB Ed Modzelewski took a handoff and raced through the line to the Steeler 40 where he lateralled to Lynn Chadnois who covered the remaining yards. Kerkorian then booted the all important extra point. Late in the same period the Packers marched 61 yards for their score, which was set up by a 53-yard pass play from Tobin Rote to Bob Mann, who was pulled down on the Steeler eight. The Packers then needed four downs before Floyd Reid smashed through the middle from the one.
