Packers’ Rodgers honored to have moment with Favre, Starr

“The NFL has decided to make most of these Thursday night games divisional games, teams that are familiar with each other”. Here’s what happened in Week 11 in the NFC North. It was one of his more efficient showings this season, but owners were likely disappointed, after Adams piled up a ridiculous 32 targets over the previous two games.

Wide receiver James Jones, held without a catch last week in a loss to the Detroit Lions, caught five balls for 106 yards and a pretty, toe-dragging touchdown along the left sideline, which essentially put the game on ice. Eddie Lacy had a great game as well, adding 85 yards and a TD on 19 carries.

This marks the second-consecutive season the Bears will play a Thanksgiving game. Osweiler finished the day 20 of 27 for 250 yards and two scores, with no turnovers. Until Sunday, that is, when he averaged a season-best 2.8 yards per rush after contact. Win all of them, and the division title would be theirs. Every game is like a playoff game from here until the end of the year. Thanks to John Fox and Vic Fangio, I don’t expect the Bears defense to give up another 50-burger.

Ben Goessling of ESPN.com writes that Adrian Peterson recommends that the Vikings “take a comprehensive look at what they can do better” in the final six games of the season. With the exception of the Bears, the rest of the Vikings remaining opponents have a. 500 or better record and will all be fighting for playoff ground.

THEY’RE BACK: The Packers offense.

Aaron Rodgers spent three years watching Brent Favre on the field and off. And the Packers’ quarterback said that his mentor was as good a prankster as he was a QB.

They exited in a tie for first place after the Packers’ resounding 30-13 victory, and while no one in the locker room appeared shattered, it also seemed clear that the Vikings knew what this loss meant.

A frustrated Peterson pointed out the Vikings mistakes Sunday, such as their eight penalties for 110 yards. In his post-game news conference Sunday, he sarcastically cheered Teddy Bridgewater’s total of 296 yards passing.

“The tickets were going for as much as $300 to $800 a piece leading up until their losing streak, but the game this week, tickets start anywhere from $220 to $500 a ticket”, said Manager, Travis Loftus, of Ticket King in Green Bay.

His other touchdown came in Week 1 against the Packers on a late scoring throw from Jay Cutler in a 21-23 Bears loss at Soldier Field.

Rodgers has owned the Bears – 13 touchdowns, zero interceptions in the past three meetings – but his completion percentage is under 57.5 in three of the past four games. “I don’t think we’re in a situation right now where we can pick and choose who we want to win and who we wanna lose to”.

As veteran cornerback Terrence Newman said Monday, according to Viking Update, people were acting like the team had just lost 10 games.
