TEAMS: Green Bay Packers
The Green Bay Packer clinched the NFC Central title by closing out the Chicago Bears in grand fashion.

Along with key players getting healthy, there is a feeling that the team is coming together at the right time. When a team is hitting their stride, you can break out all the clichés quotes, enjoy Packers fans: "Not to diminish anything," McCarthy said, "but we are just getting started. We feel that way as a football team. Not trying to be arrogant, [but] we feel that a lot better football is in front of us," according to Kevin Seifert of ESPN.com. "I think guys are jelling," Woodson said. "These tough games, man, they test your team. That's when you find out what kind of team you've got. ...

Packers DL B.J. Raji When looking at the box score of a given football game, it can be easy to overlook some of the unsung heroes. Sometimes it’s the offensive line paving the way for a 100-yard rusher and going largely unnoticed.

Packers WR faces uncertain future in offseason

Via AP on Fox  |  December 19, 2012
Greg Jennings is not naive and he's not ignoring reality, either. The veteran wide receiver is in the final year of his contract, and has yet to hear from the Green Bay Packers about an extension. Common sense - and Green Bay history - would suggest that means he'll be playing somewhere else next season, a notion Jennings doesn't dispute. But even with the Packers playing...
