Packers turn attention to title game against Vikings

Kalil said after the game he will “be good” for Sunday night’s game against the Green Bay Packers, a game that will decide the NFC North champion and which team gets the No. 3 seed in the NFC and thereby earns a home game in the first round of the playoffs.

The Vikings, who eliminated Atlanta from contention by winning, will be the No. 3 seed and host Seattle in the first round if they beat the Packers to win the division for the first time since 2009.

The now-finalized lineup also includes the QX30S, which is based on the European-market Q30 Sport. It features an increased ride height, ruggedized bumpers, and a standard all-wheel drive system.

When the Vikings have the ball, it is pretty clear what they are going to do with it: let Adrian Peterson run. Because this last Packers game they got blown out really badly and the Vikings should pick up on what the Arizona Cardinals did to beat them. If the Seahawks lose to Arizona in Week 17, it’ll be Green Bay hosting Seattle. Despite a 6-0 start this year, it appears that the Packers are still recovering from that loss, which brings up a number of questions for Mike McCarthy and Aaron Rodgers that must be answered before the playoffs. They’ve won five of the previous six matchups with Washington, though they’ve only played each other once in the past five seasons. Both teams have a 10-and-5 record. They’re balling on offense, averaging a league-best 420 yards and 32.2 points per game, while the defense is giving up a paltry 18.5 points per contest.

It gets trickier if the Packers win: In that case, a Hawks win sends them to Washington. Their response to the lopsided defeat by the Seahawks resulted in a loss, too, but they showed plenty of resilience in falling 23-20 at Arizona on December 10. The Packers rushed by design on 52 percent of their plays, their highest total of the year. Fitzgerald has become a little more of a possession receiver, working primarily inside and averaging 11.3 yards per catch, a ideal complement to John Brown and Michael Floyd on the outside. At no point in the 38-8 blowout loss did the Packers look like they were capable of mounting any kind of resistance. “I know it’s tough because Carolina is such a good team, but if Tampa Bay does us a favor we’re playing for something still”.

It’s getting harder and harder to figure out the Green Bay Packers. But with that, it’s a 15-game season up to this point.

Arizona sacked Aaron Rodgers eight times and returned two fumbles for touchdowns in a 38-8 rout of the Green Bay Packers on Sunday.

“The Cardinals have won nine straight games for only the second time in franchise history”, ESPN noted. Never have. Never will. And as important as this game is for the standings, and for playoff seeding, I think it’s fair to say it’s even more important for the emotions it stirs.

“We’re here to play”, veteran defensive tackle Cory Redding said.

The Green Bay Packers might already be in the playoffs, but it could be a short run once they get there. They have a coach in Bruce Arians who will bleed for his team and who is fearless in letting them win games for him.

Arizona clinched at least the No. 2 playoff seed in the NFC. “If we rested three starters, I would expect to win no matter who they were”. New England coach Bill Belichick made the decision to kick off to start the overtime and the Jets drove down the field and got the win on Ryan Fitzpatrick’s 6-yard TD pass to Eric Decker. Matthew Stafford’s quarterbacking has been key to the team’s success in the second half of the season.
