Rodgers stays hot in win vs Vikings

With Thielen’s performance today, he now leads the Vikings in receiving with 960 receiving yards. Some momentum. A reason to believe they could save a sinking ship.

The Vikings were able to sack Aaron Rodgers four times, but they let Jordy Nelson and Geronimo Allison run free in the secondary. When the cameras weren’t rolling? He might be one win from the MVP, too. On that third-down play, Nelson found a hole in zone coverage then motored to the end zone for the score. Just worry about this week. That’s what we were doing.

The way Aaron Rodgers played in Saturday’s win over the Minnesota Vikings, he might not need the chants of “MVP, MVP” to influence the balloting. They control their destiny. Three plays later, Green Bay had a 21-6 lead. Jon Gruden said it best. “They’re in a division they can win”.

Linebacker Eric Kendricks added, “You’ve got to minimize the explosive plays always, especially playing this offense”. “So I now know what that feels like, and luckily, those go away pretty quickly”.

That would set up a showdown for the title January 1 at Detroit. “I think it’s he’s a good player”. After a 5-0 start despite losing starting quarterback Teddy Bridgewater and Adrian Peterson to injury, Minnesota simply unraveled. Rodgers has put the Packers into this position. That dropped them a full game back, and with the Packers’ strength of victory and schedule increasing, Tampa tweeted put on Sunday afternoon that they were out of the playoff race.

After beating some good teams in the early parts of their season, the Vikings have lost two games to the rival Lions, a 26-20 game against Washington and a 17-15 game against the Cowboys.

Not long ago, they were on pace to be the first Vikings team to lead the National Football League in scoring defense since the 1971 Purple People Eaters outfit.

“We’re just frustrated”, Greenway said. “It is what it is now”. “In the previous weeks, we’ve been going out there and taking care of business”.

Rodgers ready to go for G.B.

The Packers are back in familiar territory, so close to another NFC North title. He may be more comfortable now than he was in, say, Week 1, but he came out of the gate with five TDs over Green Bay’s first four games.

The Packers aren’t flawless, and there’s plenty of room for the excrement to hit the fan. Win in Detroit, and they’re in.

“He comes to work every single day, he has a great attitude, and the way the game started for him – dang, I really hope he can bounce back from that, and what better way to bounce back than a 40-yard touchdown?” Rodgers said he had never experienced a stinger and said he felt “a burning sensation” from his neck to his left shoulder.

It was Agholor’s longest catch of the entire 2016 season, not to mention his first touchdown since Week 1.

What a difference five weeks has made. I don’t think it’s an elephant in the room that people have been on him extremely hard this year.

The Vikings, on the other hand, are going in the opposite direction.
