Green Bay’s perfect season on the field does not include a flawless record off the field.

Linebacker Erik Walden was arrested for suspicion of assaulting his his live-in girlfriend, according to Charles Davis of the Green Bay Press-Gazette.

Walden, who had eight tackles against the Lions Thursday, will be held in jail until Monday at the earliest.

This means we can reset the “Days Without an Arrest” meter to zero after it reached 23. The all-time record is 32, and Florio has said he’ll take the meter down if it ever gets to 100.

That can’t happen until March at the earliest now.
