WHAT TO WATCH FOR
- The Packers (6-1 at home this season) will be looking to post their third straight season with seven or more wins at home. That would mark the second-longest streak in franchise history behind only a span of five straight seasons from 1994-98.
- Green Bay has a 15-2 record in December/January regular-season games at Lambeau Field under Head Coach Mike McCarthy, an .882 winning percentage that ranks No. 2 in the league since 2006 behind only New England (15-1, .938). The Packers have won nine consecutive games at home in December/January.
- A victory today would give the Packers 47 wins over the past four seasons (2009-12). It would be the second most over a four-year span in team history behind only the 48 victories posted from 1995-98.
- Green Bay has either won the takeaway battle or come out even in 28 of its last 32 regular-season games.
- The Packers have held their opponents to 20 points or less in seven of their last eight contests.

He enters today's contest with 2,241 yards on the season, trailing only RB Ahman Green (2,250 in 2003) for the most combined net yards in a season (rushing, receiving, interception returns, punt returns, kickoff returns, fumble returns).
- Cobb needs 108 receiving yards and 36 kickoff return yards to become the first player in NFL history with 1,000 receiving yards and 1,000 kickoff return yards in the same season.
- With a TD pass, QB Aaron Rodgerswill set the franchise record for the most TD passes over a two-season span. He is currently tied with QB Brett Favre (1995-96) with 77 TD passes over the past two seasons.
- Rodgers needs 2 rushing yards for his fourth consecutive 250-yard rushing season. He would join Tobin Rote (five straight, 1954-58) as the only quarterbacks in franchise history to accomplish that feat.
- WR James Jones leads the NFL with 12 TD receptions this season. His receiving-TD total is tied for No. 8 in franchise history.
- LB Clay Matthews ranks No. 6 in team history (since 1982) with 40.5 career sacks, one shy of tying No. 5 Ezra Johnson (41.5).
