NFL Network's excellent America's Game series of documentaries returns Wednesday, Sept. 7, at 9pm ET, with a look at the Super Bowl season of the 2010 Green Bay Packers. The following day, the Packers kick off the 2011 NFL regular season against the New Orleans Saints on NBC.

The story is told through the eyes of Packers head coach Mike McCarthy, quarterback Aaron Rodgers and cornerback Charles Woodson. Laying the groundwork for the 2010 season, America's Game looks back at McCarthy's Pittsburgh roots and how he bounced around the league in various assistant coaching positions - he had been fired years earlier as an assistant with the Packers - until landing as head coach in Green Bay. It looks at how Aaron Rodgers slipped in the draft, then had to serve as a backup to legend Brett Favre until his (first) retirement. And it looks at how Heisman Trophy winner Woodson spent his tenure with the Raiders, during which he lost in a Super Bowl and would later be unceremoniously released. Woodson ended up in Green Bay, but didn't want to be there and had a tenuous relationship with McCarthy at first.
