It wasn’t pretty, but on a snowy afternoon in the frozen tundra the Green Bay Packers came away with a victory, getting themselves back to .500 at 6-6.

This was a much-needed outcome for a team needing a win every week just to keep alive meager playoff hopes, and even though it came against a team many have railed against as succeeding almost entirely off of a weak division and favorable schedule it doesn’t count any less.

So how did Green Bay manage to successfully continue in its hopes to “run the table”?

There are many factors, but here are some which I think made the most difference.
