This is a positive way to spin it.
Packers get weirdly good Super Bowl omen based on historic penalty total vs. Browns originally appeared on The Sporting News
The Green Bay Packers probably wouldn't mind a positive way of looking at their Sunday.
It was a brutal blown lead to lose to the hapless Cleveland Browns. The Packers looked like they'd be 3-0, but 13 unanswered points dropped them to 2-1 heading into a primetime showdown with the Cowboys next week.
They even had a brutal day with penalties. There were 14 accepted penalties against Green Bay.

Except that might be a good omen.
The last time the Packers had more penalties than that was Week 3 in 2010, when they had a whopping 18 in a three-point loss, according to ESPN's Rob Demovsky.
That season, the Packers went on to win the Super Bowl.
They certainly looked like a championship team through two weeks.
This could go into the books as an aberration.
And if they end up hoisting the Lombardi Trophy, it'll be something they can look back on and laugh.
