Key match-up: Packers QB Brett Favre vs. Panthers DT Kris Jenkins. Packers allowed only 19 sacks last season. Panthers' defensive line accounted for 32 1/2 sacks in 2003, most of any line in NFC. Jenkins, an All-Pro, had five sacks and will look to pressure Favre, who is starting his 190th game in a row -- a record for QBs.
