Ryan bounces back
Jon Ryan's confidence seems just fine.
The second-year punter has averaged 49 yards on three punts today, hasn't allowed a return and has pinned the Lions inside their own 20 twice -- and at their own 1 with his latest, a 72-yard boot that was the longest since Sean Landeta's 72-yarder in 1998. It was the best punt by a Packer since the 1965 season.
It's not windy here today, and that was a major factor in the punt team's horrendous performance last week in Chicago, but there's no denying Ryan and the unit as a whole have bounced back nicely.

Crosby, Packers extend lead to 34-13
Mason Crosby is your NFL points leader.
His 36-yard field goal extended the Packers' lead to 34-13 in the fourth quarter and moved him past Randy Moss into the NFL lead for points, with 141. Moss finished his season last night with 138.

UPDATE: One injury note before I head to the locker room. Junius Coston barely can walk as he leaves the field. It doesn't appear he can bend his right leg. His calf injury might be cause for concern as coaches enter the playoff bye.
