Winning two straight ensures the Green Bay Packers’ season continues, but the Seattle Seahawks are intent on crashing the playoff party at Lambeau Field.

Aaron Rodgers hasn’t lost at Lambeau in the month of December since 2008. This mind-blowing statistic not only highlights the Packers’ dominance at home late in the season, but also shows this team knows how to get the job done when it truly counts.

ANALYSIS: Why Packers will still make the playoffs

For Rodgers’ incredible streak to continue beyond this week, he needs his teammates to step up. The two-time MVP is playing his best football of the season, battling through an ailing hamstring and frigid Lambeau conditions to light up the Houston secondary in the fourth quarter last week.

He’ll need to be at his accurate-best when Seattle roll into Lambeau, fresh off a Sunday night beatdown of the defending NFC champions last week. But Rodgers’ arm won’t win this game alone. Better play from those around him is required to beat a team vying for a third Super Bowl appearance in four years.

Which Packers must raise their game Sunday in expected snowy conditions? Here’s five players who must step up to increase Green Bay’s win streak to three.
