Some pregame notes courtesy of the Packers' media relations department.
*Today is the 40th postseason game in franchise history and the 16th postseason game at Lambeau Field. The Packers are 13-2 at home, losing to the Falcons and Vikings in recent years.
*Brett Favre is making his 275th consecutive start (including playoffs). He has thrown a TD pass in 17 consecutive playoffs games, an NFL record. He needs two touchdowns to tie Joe Montana on the NFL's all-time list with 14 career multi-TD postseason games.
*Ryan Grant is 78 yards away from surpassing the Cowboys' Duane Thomas' record for the most rushing yards by a player in his first two career postseason games. Grant, of course, is playing against the team that traded him to the Packers in September.
*Aaron Kampman is a sack away from the No. 2 spot for franchise postseason sacks with Sean Jones and Keith McKenzie (4).
*The Packers chose Bart Starr to serve as an honorary captain today.
The tarp is completely off the field and the stands are beginning to fill up. Looks like blaze orange is the color of choice today for many Packers fans, which should look pretty cool once the sun goes down and the sky turns black.
