EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- Sometimes, it does matter how you win.
Some Green Bay Packers might try to tell you it doesn't after they escaped from New York with a 31-13, closer-than-it-looked win against the Giants on Sunday at a snow-covered MetLife Stadium.
But how can that kind of game infuse any confidence down the stretch?
A half-empty stadium shouldn't have impeded what the Packers wanted to do. Nor should a wintery mix that ought to feel like home and a playoff game.
And then there's a Giants team that had only slightly more reason to show up than their no-show crowd.
