NEW YORK (AP) — Comments on the Green Bay Packers by the AP Pro32
panel (ranking in parentheses):

___

GREEN BAY PACKERS (5)

Chris Berman (ESPN, 3) — Five-game winning streak and back in first
place.

Clifton Brown (Sporting News, 5) — A five-game winning streak has made
them the NFC North favorites.

Rich Gannon (CBS Sports/SiriusXM NFL Radio, 4) — Rodgers carrying this
team right now with another MVP-type season.

Bob Glauber (Newsday, 4) — Nothing pretty except the final result, as
the Packers outlast the Lions in Detroit to continue their domination
over their NFC North rivals.

Rick Gosselin (Dallas Morning News, 7) — Aaron Rodgers has thrown for
17 TD passes against only two interceptions in the last five games,
all Packer victories.

Clark Judge (CBSSports.com, 5) — They're hot, they're back in first
and they're beginning to look like a Super Bowl team waiting to
happen.

Ira Kaufman (Tampa Tribune, 5) — Plenty of issues abound, but Aaron
Rodgers is having another MVP season.

Pat Kirwan (SiriusXM NFL Radio/CBSSports.com, 7) — Aaron Rodgers can
put points on the board, but the defense has lots of issues. Dom
Capers does a masterful job to cover problems up, but how far can they
go?

John Lynch (Fox Sports, 3) — They eked one out against division rival
Lions and now need their stars, Clay Matthews and Greg Jennings, back
to make their run.

Alex Marvez (Foxsports.com, 7) — Usually, it's Detroit that needs
last-minute heroics to win. Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers turned
the tables by leading the late game-winning drive in last week's 24-20
road victory.

Dan Pompei (Chicago Tribune, 3) — With any other quarterback, they
would be just another team.
