GREEN BAY - Six days after losing to the Minnesota Vikings in the regular-season finale, the Green Bay Packers get a rematch in the NFC wild card Saturday night.

Green Bay is getting healthy at just the right time. Randall Cobb and Jordy Nelson plan to play against the Vikings giving the Packers all four of their top receivers for the first time in three months.
The teams split their two regular season encounters, but Minnesota running back Adrian Peterson was tough for the Packers to stop in both games. He rushed for 409 yards against Green Bay.
