Vikings raid Lambeau Field to defeat Packers, win division

The Vikings and Packers were headed in opposite directions entering their winner-takes-the-NFC North game Sunday night, but both are headed to the playoffs following the Vikings’ 20-13 victory over the Packers at Lambeau Field.

“It feels great”, Vikings linebacker Chad Greenway said after the game.

“Definitely, and a lot of our guys, it’s our first time even being in the playoffs or even winning a division title”, Floyd said. That 5-yard sack by Matthews forced the Vikings to send in their kicker BLAIR WALSH, who connected from 32 yards to give his team a 6-3 lead with 2:55 left in the first half.

In what was billed the NFC North title game, the Packers offense sputtered for the first three quarters of the game, only to rally in fourth quarter, but fall a “hail Mary” short and lose to the Vikings 20-13.

As the Packers’ offense looks to be ready for Sunday’s Wild Card Playoff game, the Washington Redskins added a player that will help stop Rodgers and company.

“It was awkward, it got twisted up and was real tight on me”, Peterson told NBC Sports afterward. Still Rodgers quarterback rating is at a career-low since he took over the starting job in 2008.

Vikings running back ADRIAN PETERSON (19 carries for 67 yards and 1 score) was the recipient of the first touchdown of the night for either team.

“But personally, I think it was one of the most gratifying years, based on the things that we had happen to our team, the adversity we pushed through and the stresses that we had on us this year”.

“They took off and went back to the endzone”. Players like Keenan Robinson and Will Blackmon are good players who are very underrated, but have great leadership from veterans like DeAngelo Hall.

The Green Bay Packers defeated the Oakland Raiders 30-20 Sunday evening in Oakland.

“Yeah, I’m all right”, Rodgers said, according to ESPN, following the loss to Minnesota which ended Green Bay’s dominance in the National Football Conference (NFC) North. “Don’t be satisfied”, Vikings defensive end Brian Robison said. “Aaron Rodgers getting out of the pocket and then guys scrambling, going deep, so I just stayed on my man, turned around and I was just in the right place at the right time”.

In a report by ESPN, Rodgers was reported to have been sacked 46 times in 16 regular season games, and five of those were from their season closer versus the Minnesota Vikings.

But familiar problems with the sluggish offense plagued coach Mike McCarthy’s squad again. “I don’t know. I have pretty high expectations”, Zimmer said. “You know, we started out two years ago trying to build something special”. They thought the way they’d done things for years was going to continue to work despite results screaming otherwise. “They earned this opportunity”.

The Vikings will now host the Seahawks at noon on Sunday afternoon, While the Packers head to Washington DC to face the Redskins at 3:45 on Sunday as well.
