The Packers spent nearly half the season and went through audition after audition with four guys. Better late than never, though, they found a way to keep Brett Favre's right arm from becoming unhinged.

Ryan Grant just might go down in team annals as the savior in an unbelievable season that could have an improbable ending.

"Ryan's making all the right decisions and reads," center Scott Wells said.

As the NFC North champion Packers (11-2) go to St. Louis this weekend, Grant has transformed in less than two months from low man on the halfback pecking order to most prolific back in the league. His 717 rushing yards since Week 8 are 49 more than that accrued in the same span by second-place LaDainian Tomlinson of San Diego.

Grant is coming off yet another personal-best performance. He rushed 29 times for 156 yards in the 38-7 destruction of Oakland on Sunday.

--Should the packers go to the Super Bowl, linebacker Nick Barnett won't be distracted by any legal matters.

A trial in Outagamie County (Wis.) Circuit Court for Barnett, who was charged with two counts of disorderly conduct for an alleged incident at a bar in June, was postponed from a scheduled start date of Jan. 29. A pretrial hearing will be held March 4.

Barnett pleaded not guilty to both charges in a court appearance Tuesday. He declared outside of court that his situation has been "blown out of proportion."

"My lawyer might be mad at me for saying this right now, but I don't feel that it warrants this charge," Barnett told reporters. "But, we'll see what happens.

"I think it's blown out of proportion, definitely. Not only just case-wise, but me being a Packer football player has a lot to do with it being blown out of proportion. If my name was Joe Rodriguez or something, you guys wouldn't be interviewing me -- no knock against Joe Rodriguez."
