NFL Power Rankings: Packers Ranked 4th With the ugly tough loss to Dallas last week, the Packers are now generally ranked 4th:

Sports Network: 3. Could be a better team if and when they face Dallas again.

ESPN: 4. The loss to Dallas doesn't help in the short term, but Rodgers' performance in place of Brett Favre has to warm the hearts of Packers fans looking long-range.

Sportsline: 4. Even with loss to Cowboys, they're in good shape to be the second seed.

Covers: 4. A tough loss to Dallas drops the Pack a few spots. This Packers team is legit.

Sports Illustrated: 4. The mystery of the ages…what the devil were they doing with all those deep throws at the start of the Cowboys' game? I'm sure I'll find out some day….

Sporting News: 4. Given their remaining schedule--Oakland, at St. Louis, at Chicago, Detroit--they could finish 14-2.

USA Today: 4. With a first-round bye a near certainty, time to get everyone…healthy.

Fox Sports: 4. They played well enough considering the circumstances. The Packers are in fine shape for the No. 2 seed in the NFC, a home playoff game and a first-round bye.

Real Football 365: 4. The silver lining regarding the Packers' 10-point loss to Dallas: When Brett Favre does retire, you might have another franchise QB in Aaron Rodgers.

Pro Football Weekly: 4. Aaron Rodgers can do a mean Romo impersonation.
