Now we have to focus on the next game, and that’s how we have to be as we go through the season.

“We had to bounce back”, Packers linebacker Clay Matthews said.
Three straight losses by the Packers had raised a lot of questions if this Packers team was truly among the best in the league, and the Packers responded to those questions the way they always seem to, by winning. “Because it’s time to get going”, Zimmer said he told the Vikings players.
Despite the loss, there were still plenty of strong performances from the Vikings. The Vikings were flagged eight times Sunday for a season-high 110 yards while Green Bay committed four penalties for 19 yards.
THEY’RE BACK: The Packers offense. Moving the sticks is important and Rodgers has shown time and again his ability to do that.
Fantasy owners and the National Football League audience alike will be interested to see how Packers running back Eddie Lacy performs after his best performance of the season.
That being said, it will be intriguing to see how the two backs are rotated and how they handle their role. “They outplayed us. They wanted it more than us”. When he did have a chance to redeem himself, he fumbled.
“I’ve been waiting since April, I think they went on sale, so we’re really excited”, said Laura Carlson, a Packers fan from California.
Plenty, though, hurt the Vikings. When you add the short rest and the home field, Green Bay should be able to win this by double digits. The biggest mistake that we could make is if we let that loss become more than one. And the Gophers men’s basketball team is 2-8 in its past 10 games against Wisconsin. Without Jeffery and Eddie Royal, it is hard for Cutler to find open receivers to score six. I wear it one game. But it’s going to be fun to get back out there on the field and help us out.
Jones caught six passes for 109 yards and had a 27-yard touchdown catch on the first play of the fourth quarter while falling out of the end zone that put Green Bay up 27-13.
Crosby’s third field goal of the day gave Green Bay a 9-6 lead early in the second quarter before one of the game’s defining drives; a nine-play, 80-yard jaunt, capped by a 10-yard touchdown from Rodgers to wide receiver Randall Cobb with six seconds remaining before halftime, giving Green Bay a 10-point lead at the break. Ronnie Hillman had about 20 percent of his season’s total yards against the Bears.

In his last three games against the Bears, Rodgers has been sacked only once while passing for 806 yards with 13 touchdowns, no interceptions and a 146.7 passer rating. Kicker Blair Walsh missed the extra point to the right, giving Minnesota its only lead of the game at 6-3. Bridgewater had his moments on Sunday, finishing with 296 yards, but was constantly under duress during critical points in the game. It’s not as if Teddy Bridgewater hasn’t looked Wallace’s way at all, since he does have 14 targets in that span. But yes, just two catches. Two.
