The Packers left Oakland on Sunday with a 30-20 victory and a 10-4 record that’s good enough to have them a game ahead of the Vikings in the NFC North with two weeks to go in the season. The style points you can flush that.

Claudio Ranieri not thinking about Leicester’s Premier League title chances
Branislav Ivanovic , Pedro and Oscar scored the goals to lift them to 15th, albeit still only four points above the bottom three. Many Premier League observers will suggest that the Foxes will not be able to carry on this form for the rest of the season.
“He is the ultimate team guy so that doesn’t surprise me that he said that”, Carr said.

Indeed, that winning mentality is part of the 44-year-old’s nature, and he is unlikely to let his standards slip over the next six months.

Green Bay Packers cornerback Damarious Randall, center, returns an interception for a touchdown agai … When his teammates picked him up and carried into the end zone, the unit was flagged for excessive celebration.
“It’s not easy at all when we you’re facing that front”, guard Josh Sitton said.
Cooper caught a third quarter touchdown as well, a 26-yarder with plenty of good momentum coming with it to take a 20-17 lead on an eight-play drive that started at the Raiders 19-yard line and featured a near-interception from Carr.
McCarthy got irritated when he was asked whether his team was in position to be successful in the playoffs.
McCarthy was equally upset about a first half that resulted in 97 yards and just over 3.0 yards per play, but he was definitely pleased with the way things opened up in the second half.
The Raiders cut Green Bay’s lead to 14-6 with a pair of Sebastian Janikowski field goals.
While McCarthy became annoyed by what he perceived as too many “negativities”, even Woodson – always a call-it-like-I-see-it truth-teller during his seven years in Green Bay – acknowledged this wasn’t the Packers offense he was accustomed to seeing, especially without Pro Bowl wide receiver Jordy Nelson, whose August knee injury ended his season before it began.

Green Bay Packers strong safety Micah Hyde (33) runs after intercepting a pass against the Oakland Raiders during the first half of an NFL football game Sunday, Dec. 20, 2015, in Oakland, Calif.
When the Packers got the ball back, their offensive drive was kick started by their special teams, as Jeff Janis was able to return it all the way to the Packers 47 yard line, making them just 53 yards away from paydirt. “We’re not playing the best football”. But they had to settle for three when they failed on first and goal from the one. Rodgers, for consideration as a first-round pick, did not measure up in the most basic way possible.
The Raiders rallied with a pair of field goals in the second quarter, but the Packers still looked to be in control as they drove into scoring range late in the half. The Raiders have only carried the ball 90 times not in his hands, and it has no number two back to speak of. Coach Mike McCarthy did a better job than Jack Del Rio did with his team. They held a slim edge on the ground 120-103 with Latavious Murray gaining 78 yards on 21 carries. Without their efforts, the Packers probably would have fallen to 9-5.
This week? Lacy’s rollercoaster season continued, finishing with 23 yards on 11 carries.
Through the air, Rodgers was 22 of 39 for 204 yards with a TD and a pick for a passer rating of 68.8. Derek Carr went back to throw the ball again but found a Packers player in a white jersey yet again.
Randy Moss was the last to do it, snagging 1,005 yards during his first of two seasons with the Raiders in 2005.
James Jones caught six for 82 and the score. Carson Palmer completed 20 of 32 passes for 274 yards and one touchdown.
On a day where Julius Peppers moved up to tenth on the NFL’s all-time sack list, the Packers defense continued to come up with stops. Morgan Burnett led the team with 8 tackles.
