Recap: The Green Bay
Packers didn't have to choose
between playing it safe and
playing to win on Sunday. The
Packers finished their
turnaround regular season with a
34-13 victory over the Detroit
Lions while resting several key
players for the playoffs. Brett
Favre extended his
quarterback-record consecutive
starts streak to 253 games, but
even he didn't keep his helmet
strapped on for very long. Favre
led the Packers (13-3) to
touchdowns on their first three
possessions before handing the
ball to backup Craig Nall in the
second quarter...FULL

Preview: The Green
Bay Packers are heading back to
the playoffs, but they'd love to
pick up some momentum before the
regular season ends. The Packers
will try to bounce back from a
discouraging loss on Sunday when
they meet the Detroit Lions, who
have lost their annual trip to
Lambeau Field every year since
1991 - the year before Brett
Favre came to Green Bay. Green
Bay (12-3) has missed out on the
postseason the last two seasons,
but won its last four games last
season and carried that momentum
into this season after Favre
decided not to retire...Full
StoryInside the Game Plans:
LIONS:
Run the ball and keep the
defense off the field as much as
possible. Even though the
Packers will pull offensive
stars like Brett Favre and
Donald Driver at some point,
they still have the ability to
go four- and five-wide and
expose the Lions' thin
secondary. Running back T.J.
Duckett has been itching for an
opportunity, and now he has it
with Kevin Jones sidelined by a
torn anterior cruciate
ligament...FULL
STORY
PACKERS:
Mike McCarthy plans to keep
things status quo at the outset,
but some of Green Bay's starters
probably won't play much in the
meaningless regular-season
curtain dropper. What the
Packers want to accomplish
heading into a one-week break
before their first postseason
game is get back to controlling
things up front on both sides of
the ball after they were
overpowered by Chicago across
the board in the last game...FULL
