Squirrel invades pitch at Minnesota v Green Bay National Football League game
Rudolph struck again late in the third quarter, beating safety Morgan Burnett on a 33-yard reception that set up Peterson’s six-yard touchdown run to pull the Vikings within six at 19-13. A loss at home against a team that was ripe for the picking may be something they look back on and regret at the end of the season. During his first three games of the month, the quarterback averaged less than 6 yards per attempt while completing just 56.5 percent of his passes, hardly numbers commensurate with his status as the reigning MVP.
NOTES: Also probable for the Packers are LB Clay Matthews (ankle/knee) and WR James Jones (quadriceps). 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.
In his first three seasons with the Broncos, Brock Osweiler threw a total of 30 passes. Rudolph caught six passes for 106 yards, his first career 100-yard day. They are 0-2 in those games while being outscored 50-16.
Green Bay may have come out on top this time but these two aren’t done with each other yet Packers and Vikings will be meeting one more time this season in January.
After a Green Bay fumble was overturned on replay, the Packers drove down the field and reached the end zone with 32 seconds left.
The difference is punctuated by the performances of quarterback Aaron Rodgers and running back Eddie Lacy.
The Seahawks improved to 5-5 to keep their wildcard hopes alive, and Rawls had a field day after being moved into the starting line-up when Marshawn Lynch was declared inactive before the game with an abdominal injury. His stat line wasn’t stellar, finishing with 212 yards and a pair of touchdowns, but he led Green Bay on scoring drives in the game’s critical moments. On Sunday, he showed flashes of his former self, setting up the Packers’ third field goal with a 27-yard run, his longest of the season. Kalil struggled last season when he was injured, and had offseason surgery on both knees-and the difference in a healthy Kalil has been on display all season.
The Green Bay offense stalled frequently in Vikings territory, leading to five field goals from Mason Crosby, who missed the game-winning kick last week. If they slack off, then the banged up offense won’t be able to carry the team and they could find themselves on their way to an early exit come January.
Once the game continued, the Packers pass rush would take over. Had the Packers lost, the Vikings would’ve effectively held a “three-game” lead over the Packers. Lacy’s hard, effective running bought Rodgers more time in the pocket. “You never think that is ever going to happen as a football coach”. “I said that during the pregame, you could feel something different”.
“We have a lot of veterans around here so we knew how to approach a game like this, ” Packers defensive tackle B.J. Raji said.
