NFL: GREEN BAY (11-2) at ST LOUIS (3-10) <h3>Packers look to move closer to first-round bye</h3> <div class="pre">Green Bay (11-2) at St. Louis (3-10) 1:00 pm EST</div> ST. LOUIS (Ticker) -- With the NFC North title safely tuckedaway, the Green Bay Packers now turn their attention tosecuring a first-round bye. The Packers can move closer to clinching the NFC's No. 2 seed onSunday when they visit the St. Louis Rams. Green Bay has not had a first-round bye since 1997. Last week,the Packers wrapped up their first NFC North Division crownsince 2004 with a 38-7 rout of the Oakland Raiders. Brett Favre made his 250th consecutive start despite a bruisedleft elbow and separated right shoulder and passed for twotouchdowns. Favre passed for 266 yards, leaving him 183 yards shy of DanMarino's NFL career mark of 61,361 yards. It is one of the few remaining major records not held by Favre,who earlier this season set league marks for career touchdownpasses and most wins by a quarterback. Perhaps more importantly, the Packers have discovered a runninggame after ranking last in the NFL for most of the season. Ryan Grant rushed for 156 yards and a touchdown on 29 carriesagainst the Raiders, his fourth 100-yard game since taking overas the Packers' feature back in Week Eight. In the last seven games, Grant has rushed for an NFL-best 717yards. "Ryan Grant is legit," Favre said. "Barring injury, he couldbecome a great player." His recent success had given Grant an outside chance to reach1,000 yards this season - even though he did not play in fourgames in the first half of the season. "It (1,000 yards) wasn't something I was really worried about,"Grant said. "I want to win. Number one is winning." The Rams come into the contest with all kinds of problems atquarterback as third-stringer Brock Berlin was forced to makehis first career start in last week's 19-10 loss to theCincinnati Bengals. Starter Mark Bulger is still recovering from a concussion andbackup Gus Frerotte has a partially torn labrum suffered againstthe Atlanta Falcons on December 2. An undrafted free agent, Berlin did play terribly but failed togenerate much offense, completing 17-of-28 passes for 153 yardswith an interception. Last season, the Rams posted a 23-20 victory in Green Bay,dropping the Packers to 1-4.
