GREEN BAY, Wis. – The defense is giving up big chunks of yardage — again. Injuries are piling up. Even the offense, which has carried the Green Bay Packers the last 2 years, is suspect.

A year after opening the season 13-0, the Packers are in danger of letting the season get away from them. At 2-3 (yes, that includes that loss in Seattle that wasn't really a loss), they face something of a must-win game Sunday night when they play the unbeaten Houston Texans.

"It's a bit too early" to say that, defensive tackle B.J. Raji said. "A lot of the talk — people are used to seeing us win, and they're never used to seeing us in this position. It's just human for most people to think it's a must-win game.
