Although he has only made 6.5 sacks, which is less than his career average in a season, Clay Matthews is a force on the Packers' defense that all opposing quarterbacks know about. A peer leader on the defense and his play in every game seems to prove that. Matthews has already been an important player their last Super Bowl/playoff run in 2011.
Randall Cobb has not been in uniform for the Green Bay Packers since October when the wide receiver broke his fibula. After spending the last several weeks on the designated to return list, Cobb is getting healthy at the right time and started practicing again on Wednesday. His big-play ability makes him a threat every time he touches the ball.
With his 1,028 yards on the ground and his eight rushing touchdowns, it has become obvious that rookie running back Eddie Lacy has become a key feature of the offense. Establishing the run is how to win in the playoffs. Lacy can also catch the ball out of the backfield (31 catches, 236 yards).
Wide receiver Jordy Nelson has put on one of his best seasons yet in 2013. With eight touchdowns and 1,107 receiving yards, Nelson has been a nightmare to all defensive backs.
There is no one the Packers need back more than Aaron Rodgers if the organization wants to make a run into the postseason. The Packers and Rodgers are waiting patiently for him to be cleared to go while there remains a chance to compete in the playoffs.
