"No chance," he said. "I wouldn't call it minor - I definitely felt this thing - but as long as I'm breathing I'll start."

Pitts expressed frustration at how the Texans botched some scoring opportunities with four turnovers - "We find ways to goof it up in the red zone, don't we?" - but concluded, "Lambeau in December ... 550 yards ... It's definitely one of my top five (wins). I'll take it."

--It was a homecoming of sorts for punter Matt Turk, who hails from the Milwaukee area, ex-Packer fullback Vonta Leach and tight end Owen Daniels, a former Wisconsin Badger making his first-ever pilgrimage to Lambeau Field.

Each had his moments, too. The 40-year-old Turk scrambled 18 yards for a first down after a punt block seemed imminent. Leach, making a strong bid to go to the Pro Bowl, snared a key 22-yard reception on the drive that led to Kris Brown's winning field goal and Daniels had six catches for 65 yards, including the 27-yard gain that set Brown up for his 40-yarder as time expired.

Daniels' day didn't start so well, though. He was stripped of the football at the Packers' 1 early in the second quarter.

"Going down there (into the red zone) and then turning it over has hurt us all season," he said. "At least I redeemed myself."

Leach had returned to Green Bay, where he spent his first three NFL seasons, for a game during his brief stay as a New Orleans Saint but wasn't active. For the Texans he caught three passes, almost as many as he had as a Packer (five) in 16 games in 2005.

"It was nice to show them off how I've progressed, that I'm not just a blocking fullback," Leach said.
