Aaron Rodgers on injury report due to right shoulder

The Vikings are 5-0 at home this season and have won seven consecutive games at TCF Bank Stadium, hinting of a home-field advantage.

Back then, the Packers and Vikings met again in Week 16, on Christmas Eve, with the NFC North title on the line at the Metrodome. The Vikings continued their win streak Sunday against the impressive Raiders.

The Packers have won nine of the last 11 matchups, losing once in 2012 with one tie, to take a 58-49-2 lead in the intradivision series.

The Minnesota Vikings were originally expected to be a very good team this year. We just need to find a way to get it done.

Offensively, the Vikings should be able to establish Adrian Peterson as a consistent force against the 24th-ranked run defense.

In a span of three weeks, the NFC North has gone from a stranglehold by the Green Bay Packers to a wide open race.

This could have something to do with Nelson’s absence, making the Packers something like an ecosystem where a top predator suddenly goes extinct.

Flutie did not elaborate on the circumstances of their deaths, but called them “incredible parents and grandparents” who had been married for 56 years.

It is really hard to imagine this Packers team, the Super Bowl favorites barely a month ago, losing four straight games.

Myles White had two late touchdown catches, and the Packers defense settled down after allowing an early touchdown in Green Bay’s 38-10 win in its preseason finale at Lambeau Field.

The receiving corps which hasn’t played up to par since Jordy Nelson’s season-ending injury in the preseason? Linebacker Jadeveon Clowney returned to practice after missing Monday’s game with a back injury. Lacy has struggled all season to regain his form and was demoted to number two on the depth chart behind James Starks. But they know it won’t be easy. Let’s take a closer look at the problems for the Green Bay offense and determine what impact it has on Rodgers’ fantasy value. Meanwhile, the young Vikings team headed by quarterback Teddy Bridgewater has found its rhythm, syncing with star running back Adrian Peterson and standout rookie receiver Stefon Diggs. Mike Zimmer is a great defensive mind and should not be underestimated, even when he plays against Aaron Rodgers.

This week the matchup to keep our eye on is going to have to be Aaron Rodgers against the Vikings defense. Rodgers has been sacked 11 times during that stretch, matching his total from the Packers’ first six games.

The game is now a push with a 45 point over/under.

Having success running the football is a focus for the Packers this weekend as they look to free up their receivers, who have been blanketed by tighter pass coverage.
