If the fans at Lambeau Field on Monday night were thinking they'd never seen so much penalty yardage in one game before, they were right.

The Packers and Ravens combined for 310 penalty yards (on 23 infractions), the most combined penalty yards in the Green Bay franchise's 1,200-plus game history. The total topped the 309 yards in the Oct. 21, 1945, contest between the Packers and Boston Yanks.

It also tied for the second-highest penalty yardage in one game in NFL history.

The Packers had 11 penalties for 175 yards and the Ravens had 12 flags for 135. The huge yardage totals were due mostly to the nine pass interference calls -- some certainly questionable -- but many of which came on downfield throws and were significant plays in the game.

Some of the more noteworthy were:

--A 25-yard pass interference call on Baltimore cornerback Frank Walker against Greg Jennings in the second quarter, which helped lead to a Green Bay touchdown.
