Packers need help shoveling snow in Lambeau Field stands

Minnesota’s defense has semi-struggled at stopping the run this year, but the Redskins’ rushing attack is nothing to be afraid of.

Are the Green Bay Packers a legitimate Super Bowl contender?

Matthews enters Sunday’s regular season finale against the Vikings ranked third on the team in tackles with 63, to go along with 5 1/2 sacks. “This is the first time we’ve practiced outside this year on a heated field”, McCarthy said.

That’s something the Packers (10-5) are used to doing. The second would involve a Vikings loss and a Seahawks win, sending Mike Zimmer’s team back to Lambeau for a rematch with the Packers in January. “You have to win your one-on-ones”, Bennett said. “We just have to do our job and do our job well”. They were coached by the legendary Tom Landry, and they won big over the Cleveland Browns in the Eastern Conference Championship 52-14 to advance to the NFL Championship Game at Green Bay.

“We didn’t win them all, but we played pretty good, so it’s more about performing, performing under pressure, performing with the crowd noise and all the different things”, Zimmer added.

Bridgewater has been a difference maker with a 123.2 passer rating in that three-game stretch. They didn’t look like one last week in a 38-8 loss on the road against the Arizona Cardinals.

The Packers are also 2-1 over their last three games, but their last game might have been their “Seattle moment” after getting bullied by Arizona.

“It’s really about all of us being on the same page”, Lacy said.

We charted all of those games in an effort to capture the ebb and flow of the rivalry.

Packers Offensive Coordinator Edgar Bennett is a former running back with a full appreciation of the running game’s importance, but he knows it’s the Packers’ passing game that’ll be at the test in what remains of this season.

Peterson has a 64-yard lead over Tampa’s Doug Martin in pursuit of the National Football League rushing title.

Minnesota and Green Bay are both 10-5 and have clinched playoff berths. Smith’s absence to hamstring and knee injuries created an opportunity for another rookie, Anthony Harris, with cornerback Terence Newman spending some time at safety, too. Fullback John Kuhn, a trusted blocker, has been playing more of late.

In the last six games between these two teams at Lambeau Field, the Minnesota Vikings are 0-5-1 SU and 1-5 ATS per the OddsShark NFL Database.

BALANCING ACT: The Packers are at their best when there is balance on offense. And perhaps they want to finish a disappointing season with an upset.

Head coach Mike Zimmer didn’t come to the Vikings to punch the Packers in the nose twice a year. The Over/Under (O/U) for the matchup is set at 48 points.

Walsh was the NFC special teams player of the week after going 5 for 5 on field goals last week. The Packers hold the edge in the all-time series at 58-48-2 (like we said, throw out the beginning and the end and the Vikings are right back in there).
