Packers to take on Vikings Tonight
That’s not entirely a bad thing, but it’s a sign of complete offensive ineptitude.

“We’re obviously blessed”, said Packers coach Mike McCarthy, who overlapped with Favre’s final two seasons in Green Bay and is 15-5-1 against Minnesota since taking the job in 2006. “He’s worked enough to get ready”. But it was the Vikings defense that scored a pair of touchdowns in the 25-16 win over the Titans.
The Minnesota Vikings were committed to the act. Fantasy owners with Peterson will likely be holding their breath until then with the hope this isn’t a season-ending injury, and you can bet Jerick McKinnon (36 percent ownership on CBS Sports) will be the most popular player on the waiver wire this week. They held the Packers (1-1) to 65 total yards in the first half, withstanding an early touchdown pass by Rodgers to Jordy Nelson on a drive aided by two penalties by cornerback Terence Newman. The Packers got some good field position thanks to the combination of a blocked punt and a 40-yard pass interference penalty on Terence Newman.
Cook wasn’t frustrated with his lack of targets. Rookie backup Josh Hawkins has been unavailable due to a hamstring injury.
The Minnesota defense looked up to the task Sunday night, too, preventing Rodgers from taking over as he so often does.
“It’s going to take 11 men getting to the football”, strong safety Morgan Burnett said. Morgan Burnett led the team in tackles, also adding a sack, and Ha-Ha Clinton-Dix had six tackles and a key forced fumble. Quinten Rollins will start opposite Damarious Randall, with Ladarius Gunter now the favorite for snaps out of the nickel corner position. Our cornerbacks and safeties had multiple issues with the Vikings new quarterback and second year receiver.
Another group that will be asked to work without the benefit of a bevy of veteran depth is the defensive line.
Speaking of Guion, he will be making another “homecoming” of sorts as he faces off against the team that drafted him in the fifth round back in 2008. Are you rooting for the Vikings or are you backing the Packers? The Vikings have faced the Pack more than another team in the history of their franchise, per SB Nation.
U.S. Bank Stadium was draped in purple lighting as an orchestra covered one of Prince’s biggest hits, “Purple Rain”. The Vikings will need to be more than just efficient passing.
It’s remarkable that Guion has lasted this long with the Packers despite a pattern of behavior that would test any National Football League team.
