Packers Team Report (Yahoo! Sports)
For a group of players that hasn't been bashful about making plenty of noise with its play on the field, the Packers secondary is unequivocally understated this week as it prepares for its biggest test of the season.
"We're going to be nice and calm about it," safety Nick Collins said Wednesday. "We ain't trying to get nobody riled up about this game. We're just going to go out there and play our game. We ain't going to try to feed into the hype or nothing like that. We're just going to play Packer football."
A colossal showdown within a key intra-conference matchup between the Packers and the fellow 5-5 New Orleans Saints looms Monday night at the Superdome.
The Drew Brees-led Saints have the NFL's top passing offense, averaging 319.7 yards per game.

Packers RB Ryan Grant shakes off early struggles (AP)
A little more than a year ago, Ryan Grant began to prove he was more than just another NFL nobody. And this week, the former undrafted free agent took his place alongside Brett Favre, Reggie White and the Ice Bowl in Lambeau Field lore. The hallway leading from the Packers' locker room to the field is lined with photo collages commemorating great moments in Lambeau history -- images so large and...

Offense-minded defense puts up points for Pack (AP)
If a good offense truly is the best defense, the Green Bay Packers just might be on to something this year. They play defense as if they're on offense. The Packers have scored seven defensive touchdowns this season, breaking a franchise record and giving them a shot at the modern-day NFL record of 10.

Grant's big day leads Packers over Bears (AP)
Hello, Ryan Grant. Goodbye, "Soldier Field North." Grant finally hit his stride -- and justified his big contract -- for the Green Bay Packers on Sunday, rushing for 145 yards and a touchdown in a dominant 37-3 victory over the Chicago Bears. The win boosts the Packers (5-5) into a three-way tie with the Bears and Minnesota Vikings atop the muddled NFC North.
Bears QB Orton active, starts vs. Pack (AP)
Chicago Bears quarterback Kyle Orton was active and started Sunday's game against the Green Bay Packers at Lambeau Field. Orton sat out last week's loss to Tennessee because of a sprained right ankle. As expected, A.J. Hawk moved inside to middle linebacker for the Packers after Nick Barnett sustained a season-ending knee injury in a loss at Minnesota last week.
Coach OK with penalty-prone Pack's aggressive side (AP)
Nine games into the season, the Green Bay Packers have been penalized a league-worst 655 yards. That's a dubious distinction often associated with undisciplined league laughingstocks, and the sort of thing that would cause most head coaches to pull out their hair in handfuls. But that isn't necessarily the case for Green Bay's Mike McCarthy, who says he can live with some penalties that go...

Hawk moves to middle as Pack seeks Barnett backup (AP)
The Green Bay Packers are working though a few different options to replace injured middle linebacker Nick Barnett, but it appears they've settled on the idea of moving A.J. Hawk inside.

Peterson pushes Vikings past Packers 28-27 (AP)
Adrian Peterson was fired up as always, so determined to beat Green Bay he stormed to the sideline at one point in the fourth quarter with a demeanor that could be described, politely, as angry. Success for Minnesota's star running back, though, came as usual through patience. Peterson rushed for 192 yards and reached across the goal line with 2:22 left to lift the Vikings to a 28-27 victory on...
