Bruce Arians has no interest in resting players now
The Packers rebounded over the next two games but have been reeling ever since they faced the Lions in Week 13.

But Green Bay quarterback Aaron Rodgers thinks his team will be fine, and that they will show up for the playoffs. Then after the Packers answered with their first score of the day, Jerraud Powers returned another Rodgers fumble for another touchdown by the Arizona defense.
The Cardinals have already clinched the No. 2 seed in the NFC playoffs and a first-round bye.
“Every guy dislikes something about his boss, but have to handle it professionally and do your job”, Rodgers said in the week before the game against Arizona, per Jason Wilde of ESPN Wisconsin.
The Packers might be able to get by without a top-10 passing offense if the running game were more consistent. We’ve won a lot of games here.
“I’m going to talk to them about the things we didn’t do well in the last game – the things we need to improve on”, Zimmer said when asked what would drive the team emotionally this week. The Minnesota Vikings ground game is averaging 137.3 yards per contest, and Adrian Peterson leads the way with 1,418 yards and 10 touchdowns. We knew it. Yet we know what we are capable of.
“We are professionals. We have to hold ourselves to a higher standard and play better”. Everybody has to play better. “Me and him are going to sit down some more and watch some film and be ready for this game”.
The Cardinals are locked up for a first round bye. Arizona had three running backs gain between 39 and 44 yards and Palmer passed for 265 yards on 18 completions with a pair of touchdowns. Brady might be the best quarterback the National Football League has seen in turning so-so players into formidable performers, but can he really do that with, as he said after Sunday’s loss, “guys coming in off the street to play”. It starts with me.
Green Bay coach Mike McCarthy said the Cardinals “were very good, and we played very poor”. He has caught just 53% of his passes this season – a mark lower than that of Abbrederis – and only once did he surpass 80 receiving yards in a game.
“This was a playoff-style game and we played awful”, Rodgers said, “but we have won a lot of games here”.
After punting on their first two possessions of the game, the Cardinals scored the next two times they had the ball.
FLOYD AGAIN: Arizona’s Michael Floyd caught six passes for 111 yards.
Arizona’s dominance quickly quieted a large portion of Sunday’s crowd, thousands of which were Packers’ fans wearing green and yellow.
“I’m not a big believer in holding players or just say, ‘Hey take another week, ‘” McCarthy said.
“We’re playing so well right now I don’t want to change any way that we prepare”, he said. Defensive tackle Cory Redding returned one of the Rodgers fumbles 36 yards for a touchdown to extend Arizona’s lead to 31-0 early in the third quarter.

Rookie David Johnson recorded his eighth rushing TD of the season on a 14-yard sweep in the third quarter. They are a good team with a dynamic quarterback performing at his best, and several other standouts such as linebackers Luke Kuechly and Thomas Davis, cornerback Josh Norman, and tight end Greg Olsen. The Cardinals are 26-4 in his past 30 starts. Tyrann Mathieu was lost for the remainder of the season after tearing an anterior cruciate ligament last week in a win at Philadelphia, and Rashad Johnson missed his second consecutive game because of an ankle injury. But they give up too many rushing yards, which puts them in unfavorable downs and distances.
