Around the NFC North: Week 17
But they couldn’t capitalize on two trips into Vikings territory in the last 6 minutes of the 20-13 loss Sunday night that gave Minnesota the NFC North title.

Despite a regular season that did not go according to plan and season-ending statistics that were substandard for him and the Green Bay Packers offense as a whole, quarterback Aaron Rodgers still believes he and his team can conjure up some postseason magic entering Sunday’s NFC wild-card playoff game at the Washington Redskins.
The Minnesota Vikings have one of the youngest teams in the National Football League with an average age of 25.83 years old. “It’s bad hard, and when you get these opportunities you have to try to take advantage of them”, said Zimmer, the defensive backs coach for Dallas in the 1995 championship season. “I’m excited about the award, and I’m very thankful, but at the end of the day I’m here to win games. We have to go out and take it”.
The Carolina Panthers and Arizona Cardinals hold the top two seeds in the NFC this year. Vikings’ return man Cordarrelle Patterson got loose on the ensuing kick-off and was just 31 yards away from a score that could have broken the game open for Minnesota. The defense needs to get a little better.
Walking toward the locker room after the game he shouted “You like that?!” to a reporter a few times, and the rest is history. And I have confidence in this team. Like I told them last night, it’s not a surprise that we are where we’re at.
“We have hope”, Cobb said. Back from surgery, he was working out at the Seahawks’ facility on Monday and likely will play against the Vikings. That means they won’t play another game at Lambeau Field this year unless it’s against the No. 6 seed Seattle Seahawks, who they defeated in Week 2.
Late, late in the third quarter, Packers wide receiver JAMES JONES (4 catches for 102 yards) was the recipient of one of the biggest plays of the game for his team, when he beat Vikings cornerback TERENCE NEWMAN for a 32 yard reception along the right sidelines to the MIN 43 yard line. Rawls is out for the season with an ankle injury.
Wilson led Seattle to a 38-7 rout of Minnesota at TCF Bank Stadium in Week 13 with 274 passing yards, 51 rushing yards and four touchdowns overall. Guys did a great job of blocking the quarterback downfield. “Coach always says, ‘It’s not about the plays, it’s about the players.’ Whatever play is called, we have to make it happen”.
“We’re poised for this situation, ” Seahawks defensive lineman Michael Bennett said, appearing to be ready for the challenge. “Don’t be satisfied”, Vikings defensive end Brian Robison said.
Kirk Cousins and the Redskins will begin their playoff run Sunday at home against the Packers. They’ll face two on the road – Minnesota and Washington.

Added Rhodes: “You realize the receivers are running down the field so you have to run and look for the ball and play the ball”. We basically hurt ourselves.
