Keep your eye on ...
Pressure Packer: Green Bay defensive end Aaron Kampman is second in the league with six sacks this year and has more sacks than any NFC player since 2006 with 33½. The injury-riddled Colts offensive line has struggled to protect Peyton Manning and if they don't improve in that area, Kampman could take over the NFL lead in sacks by the end of the game.
Battle of the best: Indianapolis' Reggie Wayne led the league with 1,510 receiving yards last year, while Green Bay's Greg Jennings is leading the league with 653 receiving yards this year. Whichever player has a better game Sunday could go a long way in determining the outcome.
The other Jennings:Colts CB Tim Jennings got his first start of the season last week and responded with a career game. He had 10 tackles, an interception and a forced fumble against the Ravens, but his job will get tougher trying to stop the Packers' explosive receiving corps.
