Green Bay continues to look for a 6th team to advance; they'd need to win this game and then knock off the top seeds in the Region, the 2013 Seahawks. 5th in both offense and defense. Brett Favre is 32, 33 scores and 15 picks. Both of these teams are looking to throw the football today against strong defenses. Nearly 2000 yards from scrimmage for 24 year old Ahman Green. On defense, 6 picks for 26 year old Darren Sharper, 7 sacks for 26 year old Vonnie Holliday. Winners head to Seattle to face the top seeded Seahawks - off to Baltimore for the kick.
