GREEN BAY, Wis. -- The parallels to seasons past are apparent in Green Bay, where a third straight 1-2 start sent Packers' fans into a panic and prompted quarterback Aaron Rodgers to try to ease their concerns with a different five-letter word: R-E-L-A-X.
And then he put together one of the best stretches of his career to help the Packers do what they had done the previous two seasons: lift themselves up after another slow start.
So here they are, halfway through the season with a 5-3 record and a favorable second-half schedule with five of their final eight at home.
