Yup. Lots of records/milestones within reach. It will be interesting to see what they do.

Green Bay enters Sunday's game with 428 points scored this season, which ranks fourth in the league and 29 shy of a new franchise record. The current total already ranks fifth in team history, trailing only the Packers' 456 points in 1996, 442 in 2003, 435 in 2007, and 429 in 1983.
Quarterback Aaron Rodgers went over the 4,000-yard mark in last Sunday's win over Seattle, and is 260 yards shy of Lynn Dickey's single-season yardage mark of 4,458 recorded in 1983. Rodgers' current total of 4,199 ranks No. 5 in team history and is the most by a Packers quarterback in over a decade, just 14 yards shy of No. 4 Brett Favre (4,212 in 1998). Rodgers has not thrown an interception in 11 games (min. 10 attempts) this season, which ties Bart Starr's franchise record set in 1964.
Wide receiver Donald Driver is just 4 yards shy of 1,000 receiving yards, which would give him six consecutive seasons over 1,000 yards and seven overall. Driver already holds the franchise record with his six 1,000-yard campaigns.
With 4 receiving yards from Driver, the Packers would have a 4,000-yard passer (Rodgers), a 1,200-yard rusher (Ryan Grant) and a pair of 1,000-yard receivers (Driver and Greg Jennings) for the second straight season. According to The Elias Sports Bureau, no team in NFL history has ever accomplished that feat.
Tight end Jermichael Finley, who missed three games this season due to a knee injury, ranks third on the team with 51 catches this season. He needs six receptions on Sunday to break Paul Coffman's record (56 in 1979) for most catches by a Packers tight end.
