As we finish our looks back at Sunday's win for the Green Bay Packers, we continue to take a look at the factors that contributed to the win. One of the big factors was Mason Crosby, who hit all three field goal attempts, and he features prominently in today's curds. The defense's performance is also highlighted. Eat up!

That's pretty ridiculous, considering the weather conditions in many of the games on Sunday.

I can't be more supportive of a giant snowstorm for the Super Bowl this year. Make it happen, Mother Nature!
