Packers vs. Bills 2014 live stream: Time, TV schedule and how to watch online
Aaron Rodgers looks to overcome one of the league’s best defenses.
Other than perhaps the Seattle Seahawks, no NFC team has been hotter since the start of November than the Packers. Anyone with even a passing interest in the sport knows how dominant quarterback Aaron Rodgers has been. His nearly 12:1 touchdown-to-interception ratio is by far the best in the league, as is his passer rating of 119.0. Rodgers appears on track to win his second MVP award, joining Tom Brady and Peyton Manning as the only active players to win the honor multiple times.
But Rodgers isn't the only part of Green Bay's offense having a spectacular year. Wideout Jordy Nelson has amassed 1,265 yards and 12 touchdowns through the team's first 13 games. He also set an NFL record with seven touchdown catches of 40 or more yards. Behind him, Randall Cobb stands just 20 yards away from 1,000 yards, a mark he has never surpassed in his career. He has 10 touchdowns to go along with it.

As for the Bills, their season has involved two starting quarterbacks, a multitude of injuries at running back and a fantastic first-year wideout. Second-year signal caller EJ Manuel struggled for the first quarter of the year. Though he showed promise as a rookie, Manuel proved unable to make the difficult downfield throws, forcing head coach Doug Marrone to make the switch to Kyle Orton. Orton hasn't been spectacular, but his steady presence has allowed rookie receiver Sammy Watkins to blossom.
But the offense hasn't been the star for Buffalo. Led by Mario Williams, the Bills have allowed the fourth-fewest points in the NFL and rank fifth in turnover differential. Impressively, they lead the league in sacks with 48 so far this season. There aren't many teams capable of slowing down Rodgers, but Buffalo might be one of the few that can challenge him.
The Packers enter Sunday with a record of 10-3. The Bills come in at 7-6.
