    View quote in context »
    The Packers have given up on average just more than 271 yards a game, but McCarthy said it goes beyond the numbers. "The games are not played on stat sheets; it's played on the football field ... We definitely feel like we have some advantages, No. 1 starting with playing in Lambeau Field. Those are the things that we'll focus on and make sure that we're utilizing all of our assets." This week the test is much larger than the challenges posed by the dismal Cleveland Browns and Detroit Lions. Full Article at WISC Madison

Packers No. 3 Ranked Defense To Be Tested Against Vikings
  1. Adrian Peterson and Favre definitely present a big challenge for us ... I think their perimeter is really playing very well. [Sidney] Rice has been extremely productive at the wide receiver spot. All of that stuff factors into your game planning.

  2. We are No. 1 in the National Football League in turnover ratio. It's something that we put an emphasis on ... I'm sure like everybody does in this league. We're doing an excellent job taking away the football and we're doing an excellent job with the giveaways.

  3. Every game is different ... You may think that you did something last week and you're going to do it again today; that's not necessarily true. That's the challenge of this business. That's why you play the games.
