Vikings’ Zimmer determined to move forward after loss to Packers
That includes the Packers, who on Sunday had an 18-yard punt and yielded a 47-yard touchdown pass and were outgained by the Vikings … and still managed to win, and not by a small margin, but by a deceivingly large one.
“We know what we did the first six weeks of the season”, said Green Bay receiver James Jones. Favre was inducted into the Packers Hall of Fame earlier this year.
“Yeah, it’s great, it’s great for the Packers”, Rodgers said Tuesday.
Coming off of a huge win against the Minnesota Vikings in Week 11, what are the five biggest rumors surrounding the Green Bay Packers heading into NFL Week 12 action?
It’s not lost on the reigning league MVP that the Bears lead the series 93-92-6.
“It does feel like a long time ago”, Rodgers said. Zimmer printed up black shirts that read “Beat Green Bay” on the back to try to keep his team focused amid all the positive attention, but what he saw on Sunday was a sloppy, undisciplined performance in all phases.
Cutler, enjoying a season in which he has produced a career-best 92.7 passer rating, isn’t putting any extra emphasis on this contest. This was an important week for us. I don’t think the Vikings played poorly; they didn’t quit when they fell behind and played hard.
It appears likely he will have two major weapons back in Forte and Jeffery.
-S Micah Hyde left the game in the first quarter with a hip injury and did not return. “We had a trip planned for quite a while and we had been watching to get tickets for months and months, waiting for them to come down but they never did”. Really, Rodgers was not the reason the team was losing. “So it was good to get him going and consistently go back to him and he gave us a lot”. “Just looking forward to being out there”.
Bennett injured his ribs during the Bears’ 17-15 loss on Sunday to the Broncos at Soldier Field.
The first-down handoff went to Adrian Peterson, and Clay Matthews came to meet him for a 3-yard loss. “Both teams seemed to have turned it around after long droughts and the Bears had been successful in the ’80s, but the Packers had been in a long drought and the Bears some rocky years in the 70’s”, said Christl. His stat line wasn’t stellar, finishing with 212 yards and a pair of touchdowns, but he led Green Bay on scoring drives in the game’s critical moments. But he set a goal of healing in time to make the trip and attend festivities honoring Favre at halftime as current quarterback Aaron Rodgers and the Packers host the Chicago Bears in a nationally televised Thanksgiving game.
Forte averaged 67.8 yards in his next six games. S Ha Ha Clinton-Dix has 20 tackles, interception and sack over last two games….
That was an encouraging assessment from McCarthy, given that Lacy missed Green Bay’s previous game because of a groin injury and hadn’t been right running the football for a few games before that.
While a bit off the pace from his 2014 season when he caught 90 passes Bennett has been a solid part of the Bears’ offense.
