**Sudden star: **Ty Montgomery leads the Packers with 390 rush yards this season and leads all NFL running backs with his 6.5 yards per carry average (minimum 50 carries). 

**Surging defense: ** Since Week 12, the Packers have allowed just 15.8 points per game (Green Bay has a 4-0 record in that span).
