GREEN BAY, Wis. -- Life is good -- or at least, better -- for the Green Bay Packers, even with a 5-6 record and their star quarterback nursing what he apparently considers a minor left hamstring injury.What a difference winning can make.Having snapped a four-game losing skid with their 27-13 victory at Philadelphia on Monday night, even sleep deprivation and an unimaginative in-flight late-night snack couldnt damper their positive outlook.Everybodys grouchy. ... They didnt get any sleep last night. Too many cheesesteaks on the plane, Packers coach Mike McCarthy joked Tuesday evening before turning serious. Theres nothing like winning. I mean, thats what this is all about. Its about winning football games.Thats something the Packers have become accustomed to under McCarthy, but before beating the Eagles, Green Bay hadnt won since Oct. 20. Now, while they acknowledge they have a lot of work to do to extend their seven-year run of consecutive playoff appearances -- the Packers are two games back of NFC North-leading Detroit (7-4) -- they enter Sundays game against the Houston Texans at Lambeau Field with renewed hope.Were human. You lose a few in a row and doubt starts to creep in on whether or not you can actually finish one of those games off, quarterback Aaron Rodgers said after throwing for 313 yards and two touchdowns (116.7 rating) despite battling a second-half hamstring injury. Theres a big difference between 4-7 and 5-6, for sure. But I hope theres not a ton of relief setting in, because we still have a lot of things in front of us wed like to accomplish.This was a step in the right direction in a game we needed to take care of business, but we have a short week and weve got Houston coming in and weve got to have another similar performance.McCarthy claimed to have not spoken with the medical staff before Tuesday evenings news briefing, but he expressed greater concern for linebacker Clay Matthews left shoulder injury than he did for Rodgers hamstring issue. Matthews absorbed a crushing block early in the game but was able to come back after a locker-room examination. The Packers needed him, too, as he moved inside to replace injured starting inside linebackers Blake Martinez (knee) and Jake Ryan (ankle).I cant say enough about him coming back out there and fighting through what he did, McCarthy said of Matthews. Im sure he doesnt feel very good today.As for Rodgers hamstring, the greatest worry is not that he wont be able to play against the Texans -- Ill be good to go, he said after the game -- but how much it could limit his mobility. Rodgers has not only been the teams best running threat since starting running back Eddie Lacy was lost for the season to an ankle injury, but before Monday night, he owned the teams only three rushing touchdowns on the season. Fullback Aaron Ripkowski became the first back with a TD run Monday night.Rodgers was hobbled by a calf injury late in the 2014 season that significantly limited his ability to move out of the pocket.Obviously two different injuries, McCarthy said. I can only go by what he tells me, and that was last night. I think on any type of muscle strain, particularly a hamstring, the next day is a pretty good indicator.
