 Green Bay safety Nick Collins and his teammates are excited about going up against the top-ranked passing attack in the NFL Monday night at the Superdome. But, they aren't looking to add extraneous hype to the matchup. "Don't get me wrong, it's going to be a great challenge for us," Collins said. "But we aren't going to try to hype it up.

 Packers veteran Clifton tackles the tough questions
 Chad Clifton has drawn criticism from reporters, fans and even his coaches in recent weeks, but he's not making excuses. "The past few games, yeah, I've struggled.
