Houston Texans quarterback Brian Hoyer is not expected to play Sunday and is reportedly experiencing memory loss related to a head injury that knocked him out of Monday’s game at Cincinnati. “He’s going to get his touches and we have to keep him contained”, McCarthy said. Over the last three games, Rodgers has thrown six touchdowns, including a touchdown-less game in Week 8 against the Broncos, and one interception. Detroit drafted him in the third round in 2012 and he started eight games and played in 18 games over three seasons.

I never realized the Green Bay Packers had something in common with J.R. Smith. It’s just disgusting. Oh, there are a few truly fun games like Patriots-Giants and a number of others but, on the whole, 2015 has been a turkey as we approach Thanksgiving.
But they aren’t yet good – they make just the wrong mistakes at just the wrong time against the teams that can take advantage of every single one, such as Cordarrelle Patterson’s 93-yard return off a Sebastian Janikowski squib kick.
The Eagles were in the process of blowing a nine-point lead when Bradford went out and Sanchez is clearly a step down, leaving most of the scouts we’re hearing from to suggest it may be time for Philadelphia to start thinking about next year. In Green Bay’s three losses this season, opponents have run the ball an average of 32.0 times per game.
The Vikings beat Green Bay 37-34 at the Metrodome to close the 2012 regular season and clinch a wild-card berth.
Peyton Manning has looked like a shell of his former self all season. Where is the team emotionally as you get ready to take on the Vikings?
Nothing helps a defensive team more than running the football and no one runs the football like Adrian Peterson.
Lacy was the difference in that game, as the Packers offensive line paved the way for 125 yards on 25 carries.
Vikings: Containing Aaron Rodgers in the pocket will be a priority for the Minnesota defense, writes Chris Miller of the Minneapolis Star-Tribune. Leaning on Adrian Peterson, the Vikings have climbed to a 7-2 record and now control the NFC North for at least this week.
Insane stat: CB Richard Sherman, a 2014 All-Pro, has gone 10 straight regular-season games without an interception, the longest drought of his career.
“He’s very competitive and there’s a big upside”, Turner said. The Vikings and Packers play again in Week 17 at Lambeau Field.
Minnesota has no issues with its running game even with personnel limitations on the offensive line.
This week, with the Lions hosting an AFC team, our boys move over to CBS for the 1:00pm matchup versus the Oakland Raiders.
“We took what they gave us”, said Bennett.
Kyle Rudolph made the “highlight (blooper?) reel” last week when he flat-out dropped an easy touchdown pass; Rudolph has garnered plenty of skepticism this year, having only 182 yards under his belt, and the tight end will need to have a big game Sunday to begin earning back a positive reputation. “James will take the first series and Eddie will go second and we’ll see how it balances out”, McCarthy said.
The Packers have won their respect.
Although I certainly don’t want to see Minnesota in a come-from-behind situation, Vikings fans should hope that Bridgewater plays with that mentality, as he seems to make his sharpest passes in those “desperation” scenarios.
