Minnesota QB Teddy Bridgewater has only one multiple-touchdown game through the air this season, if the Vikings get into a scoring spree with Green Bay they could have some problems. At home and coming off over a month’s straight worth of wins, the Vikings have an X-factor that Green Bay will have a hard time stopping: Adrian Peterson. “I thought he had one of his better practices”.
“I think it’s important to do things like that”. It appeared he’d gotten over the ankle injury suffered against the Seattle Seahawks on September 20. They’ve also been interesting against the run this year, as they are only allowing 3.9 yards per carry to road team, but give up 4.5 when they are on the road.
Some would say it’s a pretty typical week for the Green Bay Packers. “No matter who you play, you can lose if your game is not together”.
“Tuesday, I had my normal routine”, he said in a subdued voice, “came in here, worked out, acupuncture, massage, film, relax, dinner, sleep, wake up, here I am”. “However that unfolds, as long as whatever I’m doing is positive and helping us toward a ‘W, ‘ that’s my main concern”.
The Redskins likely will need to win once away from home to take the division title. There’s also a lot of talk about Aaron Rodgers, who showed up on the injury report on Wednesday. “We’ve got to try to find a way to be more efficient on offense, and we’ve got to score touchdowns in the red zone when you’re playing a real good football team”.
“Everything has to be in sync, starting with the run blocking to the pass protection to the ability to trust the protection and trust the routes”, McCarthy said. “Every year brings different challenges”.
Add to the fact that the Vikings are at the top of the NFC North with a 7-2 record and the Packers are close behind with a 6-3 record adds to the drama even more. “This is a big game for us as well”.
