The Packers come into this game after a touch win at home over the New Orleans Saints, 28-27. A 2-point difference could have given the Pack a 1-3 start on the season, but a touchdown in the final 7 minutes gave them the lead for good. Green Bay suffered a 474-421 deficit in offensive yards, but enjoyed a 102-45 edge in rushing yards. It was almost a miracle they escaped with the victory, as Saints QB Drew Brees easily moved the ball downfield.
