Minnesota Vikings at Green Bay Packers: Second Quarter Open Thread

The Vikings then faked a punt, and Vikings wide receiver Adam Thielen ran the ball for 41 yards for a first down on the Green Bay 21 yard line.

The Vikings will also be hoping for their defence to continue their hot form and stop the Packers’ inconsistent offence. The Packers started off with Eddie Lacy doing what he tends to do when he sees the Vikings…chewing up yardage, as his first two carries went for 12 yards and a first down. If Green Bay wins, Minnesota and Green Bay will do it again next week, with the victor advancing and the loser going home.

The key for the Vikings is star running back Adrian Peterson, who is first in the league for rushing yards this season with a total of 1418.

The Packers defense was able to hold the Vikings offense, and the Vikings tried for a field goal.

The Green Bay Packers will be without veteran cornerback Sam Shields and, perhaps more importantly, their starting left tackle David Bakhtiari.

In this case the Seahawks would be No. 5 because even though they will have finished with the same record as Minnesota, they would win a tiebreaker based on a 38-7 victory over the Vikings Dec. 6 in Minnesota. He said Thursday he will be ready to face the Packers with the NFC North title on the line. Come hang out with us for the second quarter of play!
