Green Bay replay: Packers 30, 49ers 24
After dominating the first half, running back Ryan Grant (pictured) and the Packers hung on to beat San Francisco Sunday afternoon at Lambeau Field. The victory was overshadowed, though, by injuries to cornerback Al Harris and linebacker Aaron Kampman. Harris suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament and will be lost for the season.

Packers point: In victory, Favre proves he's the one
If there is anybody left who thinks that the 2009 Packers, or the 2008 Packers, or maybe even the 2010 Packers are better with Aaron Rodgers than Brett Favre, let them stand up and be counted, on the fingers of one hand. There is no longer a shadow of doubt. One is a classy, savvy expert with a full house, aces over jacks. The other is sitting at the table with a pair of sixes and not much bluff.

Green Bay Replay: Packers 21, Bears 15
The giddiness that permeated the Packers' preseason gave way to the bruising reality of the regular season. Fortunately for coach Mike McCarthy and a sellout crowd of 70,920, quarterback Aaron Rodgers hooked up with wide receiver Greg Jennings for a touchdown with 1 minute, 11 seconds left that erased a handful of mistakes and left the home team feeling good about its prospects for 2009.

Packers a hot pick in NFC North
When the Packers opened their 2009 training camp, there sure were a lot of questions. Now, with just hours before the season opener against the Bears at Lambeau Field, many think that a trip to Miami for Super Bowl XLIV is a very realistic probability. Funny what a 3-1 preseason can do for experts and oddsmakers.

Packers, fans ready to get caught up in the draft
Given the rampant popularity of the National Football League, particularly the franchise that plays in Green Bay, the adage in local media circles has long held that "you can never give them too much news about the Packers." The NFL Draft tests that theory. Few events in sports generate the type of saturation coverage that accompanies the NFL Draft, which will be held this weekend.
