Green Bay Packers v. Minnesota Vikings NFL football game today
He got away a 44-yard punt to the Green Bay Packers’ 33-yard line, and that’s where Green Bay started their first drive of the second quarter. Their last sack came in the fourth quarter of the game against San Diego before the bye week, also by Jones.
As for the Packers and Vikings? It can’t get any worse, and they’ll have a chance to right the ship in a hurry if they can win when we watch the Packers Vikings game live streaming or on TV today. Green Bay is faltering in the NFC North while Minnesota and their tough defense has surged into the division lead.
Minnesota (7-2) has quickly emerged as one of the top teams in the National Football League behind young quarterback Teddy Bridgewater, the return of Adrian Peterson, and a quick, young defense that is causing misery for opposing offenses.
The Packers got their second sack of the game on the Vikings’ next drive, a zero-yard variety by LB Nate Palmer following a holding penalty on Minnesota on first down.
The Packers did nothing with it, though, as Rodgers was sacked on third down and P Tim Masthay shanked an 18-yard punt, giving the Vikings the ball in Green Bay territory. We’ll update the Bridgewater injury when we can. The Vikings committed three third-down penalties on that drive, and eventually it came back to bite them, as Rodgers found Randall Cobb with six second left in the half. The Packers defeated the Vikings 24-21. James Jones leads the way in the receiving department with 3 catches for 41 yards.
On the Green Bay side, Aaron Rodgers has completed 11-of-20 passes for 98 yards and a touchdown.
