For a group of players that hasn't been bashful about making plenty of noise with its play on the field, the Packers secondary is unequivocally understated this week as it prepares for its biggest test of the season.

"We're going to be nice and calm about it," safety Nick Collins said Wednesday. "We ain't trying to get nobody riled up about this game. We're just going to go out there and play our game. We ain't going to try to feed into the hype or nothing like that. We're just going to play Packer football."

A colossal showdown within a key intra-conference matchup between the Packers and the fellow 5-5 New Orleans Saints looms Monday night at the Superdome.
