Munnerlyn pointed to the Vikings getting walloped at San Francisco 20-3 in the nationally televised season opener on Monday Night Football. They’re 6-4, but they’ve lost four of their past five and are trending in the wrong direction. “I thought he was decisive and I thought he ran behind his pads”.

Young took advantage of expanded playing time in last Sunday’s loss to the Broncos, recording his second sack of the season along with four tackles and one tackle-for-loss while being on the field for 41 of 69 snaps.

“I talked to them this morning about (moving on mentally)”, Zimmer said. “But when they come in …”

Today is a combination of normal-week Wednesday and Thursday schedules.

The heat had been turned up on several under-performing Packers players in recent weeks, but almost all of them answered the bell on Sunday, perhaps none more than the maligned Green Bay defense, which limited Vikings running back Adrian Peterson to just 45 yards and sacked quarterback Teddy Bridgewater six times.

“That’s a good team we were playing against, and they had their backs against the wall with three straight losses”, Blair Walsh said.

“Once you get to Thursday, it’s exciting”.

For three periods, it appeared that the team might be doing just enough to pull off the win in coach John Fox’s first meeting with his former team since he was seen out in January. Game time is 8:30 pm EDT and the game is on TV on NBC with announcers Al Michaels and Cris Collinsworth along with sideline reporter Michele Tafoya. The Falcons are another team in the hunt for a playoff spot.

“What we’ve done previously was to put ourselves in position where we could control our own destiny”.

“You know Bart’s been such a great encouragement to me since I was drafted here, and I really have appreciated all of our conversations over the years with him and his lovely wife”, Rodgers said, via Wes Hodkiewicz of the Green Bay Press-Gazette. But it’s going to be fun to get back out there on the field and help us out.

Added linebacker Anthony Barr, “Everything that we want is still within reach”. The effort was especially impressive on the heels of a missed 52-yard field goal on the final play vs. Detroit a week earlier that would have won the game.

“Yeah, it’s great, it’s great for the Packers”, Rodgers said Tuesday.

It’s a new week with a new game for the Vikings.

The Packers, however, were able to convert third-and-15 with a 50-yard pass interference penalty assessed to Newman and eventually get a touchdown for a 16-6 lead with six seconds remaining after an offsetting penalties and an illegal contact penalty continued to extend the drive. “Maybe you don’t [call a timeout] with a guy like Rodgers”. However Rodgers isn’t expected to take part in the ceremony and will be back in the locker room making adjustments to the Bears’ defense.

“I hate to compare year to year because they’re different teams”, Bulaga said.

Okay, so I haven’t done a very good job at this.

The one-hour show features exclusive interviews with Favre, Aaron Rodgers, Mike McCarthy, Ted Thompson and more, and features “never seen before footage” of Favre at his home in Mississippi.

“We didn’t like each other at all during that time”.
