Game Day: Minnesota Vikings vs Green Bay Packers at Lambeau Field for Sunday Night Football

It could possibly be the coldest Packers/Vikings game in the history of the rivalry. Rodgers says bring on the cold:

“I like it colder, the better,” Rodgers said. “For the most part, the colder it is, the slower the (pass) rush and the offense can have an advantage, especially on a field that could be slick based on the elements.”

Once again, the Packers will need a win to claim the number one NFC seed and a bye week with homefield advantage. While it wasn’t enough last season fend off the Bucs, this is particularly useful for the Packers as Lambeau Field during the playoffs can be a very miserable place to play as the away team.

The Vikings are the only NFC North team to take down the LaFleur-led Packers with the coach at 14-2 within the division.

Something worth mentioning prior to the game is the fact that WR Davante Adams could receive the franchise tag. This could possibly entice Aaron Rodgers to stick around Green Bay longer, but I honestly have my doubts about that. Rodgers did indicate recently that he would let his intentions be known soon after the 2021 season.

While CB Jaire Alexander was removed from injured reserve recently, he has now been placed on the COVID reserve. Either way, he probably was not likely to play tonight. Also on the COVID list, and saving his ass in the process, is Vikings’ QB Kirk Cousins. Cousins will be replaced by Sean Mannion.

P Corey Bojorquez, TE Marcedes Lewis, TE Tyler Davis, OL Ben Braden, and LB Oren Burks have all cleared COVID protocols to play.

Stopping RB Dalvin Cook will be the biggest hurdle of the game, just as it has been in recent meetings between the teams. If Packers can keep interim QB Sean Mannion off of a rhythm, this will become much more likely. Meanwhile, Vikings WR Adam Thielen will also not be playing.

    Nice mention of Betty White and Madden. In other news Coach McRib is still a terrible in game management coach.
    It is an easy decision to franchise Adams id Rodgers is still there. If Rodgers leaves he just hates Green Bay, there is no team he could choose that is a QB away from being a real contender.

    Idk Ferris……i think it is more complex and it goes deeper than that.
    .
    With that said….Rodgers has always said he wants to finish his career in Green Bay.
    Moves were made contrary to that.
    Rodgers may not like some moves Gute made.
    But that doesn’t mean Rodgers hates Green Bay.
    Do you really get that impression when he speaks of Green Bay and his time here?
    .
    You’re correct though, the grass isn’t always greener.
    .
    But next years cap situation is a hot mess.
