1. Sam Shields vs. Calvin Johnson – The Packers missed Shields’ cover skills the past two weeks in Denver and Carolina, and if he indeed returns to the lineup this week, he knows Megatron as well as any defender on the Packers’ roster. Johnson isn’t putting up the monster numbers of years past, but he leads the team in all receiving categories and is still on pace for a 1,300-yard season.
2. Packers’ pass rushers vs. Matthew Stafford – The Packers went 42 consecutive games with at least one sack.
