Packers elect playoff captains

The Packers elected their playoff captains on Wednesday. They were voted on by the players.

Rodgers has been a playoff captain every year since 2009, making this his seventh selection. It's also the fourth selection for Crosby, who was previously playoff captain in 2010, '11 and '13.

For both Matthews and Peppers, it's their second selection. Matthews was also a captain in '12, and Peppers was a captain last year.

Kuhn and Banjo are first-time captains. Kuhn was just selected to his third career Pro Bowl, while Banjo is the team leader in special-teams tackles.

All six players will wear a "C" patch on their jerseys for Sunday's wild-card game at Washington, and for as long as the Packers play this postseason.
