Green Bay celebrated a third straight NFC North division title Sunday when the Ravens' 2-point conversion fell short. They have higher hopes, of course, having reached the NFC Championship Game each of the last two seasons. They have accomplished the first step and also kept themselves in position to claim that No. 1 seed and first-round bye for the second year in a row. Win out, and it's theirs.

And you can tell me all you want that they lost the NFC Championship Game at home last year anyway, but if I'm the Packers I'd like to take my chances in Lambeau in January. I believe they have their sights set on the 1-seed.

The verdict: NOT AN OVERREACTION. Look, a 31-30 victory over Tyler Huntley doesn't exactly scream "Super Bowl team," but games are hard in the NFL and all the Packers seem to do is win them. Aaron Rodgers might be a handful -- or, to coin a phrase, a "complicated fella" -- but he sure is great at football. And given all of the uncertainty -- or, to coin a phrase, "beautiful mystery" -- that surrounds the coming offseason with Rodgers and Green Bay, it just feels like Rodgers is driven to make this happen before it's all over.

Arizona is scuffling. Dallas' offense doesn't look right. Tampa Bay -- all right; I'm never betting against Tom Brady. But one of these years, the conference title game ball is going to bounce Green Bay's way. Its organizational priority is to keep itself perpetually in position to allow that to happen, and at this point there's no reason to doubt that it can happen.
