Packers refocus quickly to Vikings after desert nightmare
When was the last time you could legitimately say that?

Aaron Rodgers has struggled a little bit in recent weeks?
The Minnesota Vikings and Green Bay Packers will meet for the NFC North Division championship on Sunday. It was 14 degrees with a 10-mph wind for the 7:30 p.m. start.
It helps that Sunday night’s game marked the team’s return to full strength as linebacker Anthony Barr, free safety Harrison Smith and nose tackle Linval Joseph all returned from injuries.
Said wide receiver Michael Floyd, “Nothing’s really going to change for me”. We know we will get a week to rest anyway. This would be great for Minnesota. “We’re going to come in ready”.
The Packers dropped into a tie with Minnesota for the NFC North lead when the Vikings cruised to a 49-17 victory over the New York Giants on Sunday night. We have to go there and prove that we can win, we have to prove that we can beat that football team.
They now have that opportunity.
Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers (12) is sacked by Arizona Cardinals cornerback Jerraud Powers (25) during the second half of an NFL football game, Sunday, Dec. 27, 2015, in Glendale, Ariz. Green Bay is also 4-5 in those games, with one of the wins coming on an unbelievable Hail Mary throw against the Lions during an untimed down.
“He’s a guy previous year, I recall, every time we got down to the red zone, the goal line, we would take him out”. It still can take the No. 1 seed with a win over Seattle and a Carolina loss to Tampa Bay next weekend.
If the Packers beat the Vikings and the Seahawks beat the Cardinals; Green Bay would play the Vikings again in the first round of the playoffs; and the Redskins wilds host the Seahawks.
There is only one scenario in which Seattle can finish as the No. 5 seed and open the postseason at NFC East champion Washington.
They’ve recommitted to Peterson, restoring good will with an average of 21 carries over the last three games despite frustrating results, two blowout wins and a sprained ankle.
That was November 22, and the Packers came into TCF Bank Stadium and beat Minnesota 30-13.
It’s possible they could overtake the Panthers for the first seed. And while the offense stumbled Sunday against the St. Louis Rams – largely because of protection issues – the Seahawks have done an outstanding job of generating big plays through the passing game. Players feel up to the challenge of a rematch with Seattle. The Cardinals will get the No. 1 seed with a win and Carolina loses to the Bucs.
It’s even true that the Vikings probably have a better top-to-bottom receiver/tight end corps than Green Bay right now.
For the first time in almost a month, the Minnesota Vikings’ defense was at full strength.
“We know what type of team and organization they are”, Greenway said. When the two teams meet at Lambeau Field, they will determine the victor of the NFC North.
The Packers keep trying to correct those things, but they never seem to get it done. He isn’t planning on rolling out any new garments this week, figuring playing for the division crown is motivation enough. “But I have confidence in those guys and myself that when it matters for all the marbles, we’re going to show up”.

“It’s in the washing machine”, he said. “I definitely circled that game on the calendar”.
