Things To Look For: One week after being drubbed by the Broncos in Denver, the Pack returns to the site of their last Super Bowl appearance, which should also brings back some unhappy memories. The Green Bay defense looked helpless at Mile High last Sunday, but should rebound against a San Diego attack that can't run the football. And don't look for another bad outing from Packers QB Brett Favre.
