Adrian Peterson suffered a right knee injury during the 17-14 win and there were some people who were anxious the team might have suffered a serious setback just as it looked like the class of the NFC North.
It’s been two weeks, ” Rodgers said after the Packers lost 17-14 to the rival Vikings in Minnesota on Sunday night.
Vikings running back Adrian Peterson touched the ball three times on the first drive but had just two yards, thanks to a strong push up front from the Packers. “I don’t know if he will or not”, Zimmer said after Sunday’s 17-14 win over Green Bay. The former MVP will undergo an MRI on Monday to determine if there is any structural damage, but Minnesota is optimistic that Peterson will be back on the field this year.
“Whatever term you want to use to describe it, it wasn’t good enough last night, ” coach Mike McCarthy said Monday. Peterson could not put any pressure on the leg as he left the stadium, so immediately fans feared the worse.
The Vikings were just happy to find that a quarterback of Bradford’s pedigree was available after their projected starter, Teddy Bridgewater, went down with a season-ending knee injury a week before the opener. It’s just part of pro football.
What Bradford quickly picked up on was that the opposition didn’t have any answers for his No. 1 pass-catching weaponStefon Diggs, who torched his NFC North nemesis to the tune of nine receptions for 189 yards and a touchdown.
Jerick McKinnon would likely start in Peterson’s place.
“I feel like we had a good call”.
Asiata said that there’s “always something to improve every day and every week and something as a team we’re going to try to work on is our running game and go out there and try our best to clean it up”. We practice weekly, several times throughout the week, so that has nothing to do with it and he’s been doing it for a long time. “We had opportunities to take this win and unfortunately we didn’t do that”, Matthews said. “You never want to see guys go down like that”.
“I don’t think we’re that far off, ” Rodgers said.
“I do not think it is something you can draw a lot out of”.
