Nov 8, 2015; Minneapolis, MN, U.S.; Minnesota Vikings defensive tackle Linval Joseph (98) smiles while speaking with a reporter after the game with the St. Louis Rams at TCF Bank Stadium. If the offensive line loses faith in the game plan, then there are problems. The Packers’ leading receiver on Sunday, Davante Adams caught 10 of his 21 targets for 79 yards. Lewis started five games for Buffalo in 2013.

“I just went to him, and I just said, ‘Hey man, they brought you here for this reason”.
“The first day I saw him, I’m like, ‘Hi, I’m Brian, the last Viking to sack you, ‘ ” Robison said Wednesday.
Also on Wednesday, receiver DeAndre Hopkins missed practice with a knee injury, but he should play on Sunday.
“McCarthy: “(Aaron Rodgers) is banged up; we’ve got a number of guys that are banged up. Everybody is dealing with different things. He’ll get things turned around.
SERIES HISTORY: 12th regular-season meeting. Packers lead series, 57-48-2. Of Romo’s six career playoff games, that loss in the 2009 season to the Vikings was by far the biggest: a 34-3 thumping.
The advice to stay hungry and avoid complacency, analogous to a mouse sniffing a trap set with a tasty snack, will be especially pertinent now that they’ve moved past the Green Bay Packers in the NFC North. Green Bay is 4-0-1 against the Vikings since losing to them 37-34 at Minnesota to end the 2012 regular season. The interview took place before the Packers’ offense began melting down, however, so now it might be Rodgers who should look to Obama for inspiration.
Kuhn: “Isn’t this what makes football so incredible, when you have games like this?” Green Bay wound up having the ball-control advantage – 31 minutes, 45 seconds to the Vikings’ 28:15.
Now, we are talking here about one of the best quarterbacks to ever play the game, and it’s a safe bet that he and this receiving corps can figure things out over the next seven weeks – particularly if Cobb returns to full health.
“I don’t think that anyone in this locker room thinks by any means that this season is over, ” Romo said. “They definitely did a great job of that and they kept them from scoring”. And Starks has played pretty well since taking over Lacy’s role as the team’s lead back, so that hasn’t been debilitating, either.
-Lions WR Calvin Johnson, who ranks 11th in the National Football League with 740 receiving yards, vs. Raiders CB DJ Hayden, who has struggled with a few No. 1 receivers this year.
NOTES: The Lions hired Ryan Silverfield to be their assistant offensive line coach after he was a senior offensive analyst at Arizona State….
In the words of head coach Mike McCarthy, Green Bay quarterback Aaron Rodgers is “banged up”. The 6-5, 303 pound rookie from CT went undrafted and was signed by the Philadelphia Eagles.
Tauscher explained, however, that personal situations can – but don’t always – come into play with on-field performance. The task would appear to get more treacherous.
The Green Bay Packers (6-3) are coming from an 18-16 loss to the Detroit Lions last week.

Rodgers is just 2-2 and has averaged 272.5 yards in his four starts versus Zimmer. Next Sunday, they run into the Minnesota Vikings.
