As division rivals, the Green Bay Packers and Chicago Bears have matched up twice a season since 1925. Such familiarity generates a certain level of confidence that neither team could surprise the other in Sunday's NFC Championship Game. Just Monday, in fact, Packers linebacker A.J. Hawk told reporters there are "no secrets" between the rivals. "They're not going to do anything new," Hawk said. "We're probably not going to do anything new. It's going to be football. It's going to be up to the guys on the field, I think coaches can sit back and sometimes try to complicate things and come up with new schemes and crazy situations, but when it comes down to it, it's the guys on the field that are playing the game. And for us we know each other so well that it's fun." The smart money says no way, a sentiment Bears center Olin Kreutz expressed in the moments after last Sunday's 35-24 divisional playoff victory over the Seattle Seahawks.
