Pats have a good secondary.. And this did happen recently:

Yeah but, they aren't consistently locking down receivers and AR would shred them up.
Eh. Pats routinely take away/minimize whatever the opposing offense is best at or their best weapon.
So how effective have the Patriots been at shutting down the opposing team's top weapon? The only wide receivers to go for more than 98.5 yards this season against the Patriots were Denver's Emmanuel Sanders and Demaryius Thomas in Week 9, a 22-point Patriots victory that was 27-7 at halftime. Before that game, New England had allowed the top opposing receiver an average of 52.1 yards per game, and none over 81 receiving yards. Including last season (with inferior secondary talent), the Patriots have held the opposing team's top pass-catcher under 98.5 yards in 20 of their last 25 games. 
Bill constantly preaches to not give up the big play...almost to a fault. It's why his FS (Devin McCourty) plays conservatively most of the time.

So recent history says the more likely scenario is Eddie Lacy having himself a big day.

Playing this Packer squad in Lambeau is scary though and the Pats have been a bit weaker on the road vs. winning teams than people realize.

Week 13 game should be fun.

Great test for both teams.
