TONIGHT'S GAME

PACKERS AT SAINTS, 8:30 p.m., ESPN

ABOUT THE PACKERS: Green Bay played its best game of the season last week in dismantling the Bears and QB Aaron Rodgers excelled against Minnesota in his previous Monday night start. DE Aaron Kampman had three sacks, two forced fumbles and a fumble recovery in his last game against New Orleans.

ABOUT THE SAINTS: QB Drew Brees leads the NFL's No. 1 offense and he's averaging almost 40 pass attempts per game. Stopping people remains the problem in the Big Easy, where the last-place Saints are struggling to remain viable in the NFC wild-card race. Somebody has to step up on this embattled defense tonight.

INJURY REPORT: Packers - Out: LB Nick Barnett (knee). Questionable: CB Jarrett Bush (ankle), WR James Jones (knee), S Charlie Peprah (calf), RB DeShawn Wynn (calf). Saints - Out: CB Aaron Glenn (ankle), FB Mike Karney (knee). Questionable: RB Reggie Bush (knee).

KEY STAT: Packers WR Donald Driver has at least one reception in 105 consecutive games, a franchise record.

KEY MATCHUP: Kampman vs. Saints RT Jon Stinchcomb.

IRA KAUFMAN'S CALL: Packers, 41-27.
