The Minnesota Vikings can’t claim they didn’t see this coming. Teddy Bridgewater saw it. Adrian Peterson saw it. The Packers’ defense was in the Vikings’ facemasks from start to finish in Green Bay’s fairly convincing 30-13 victory over Minnesota on Sunday in Minneapolis. Green Bay (7-3) came in on a three-game losing streak.
It exited with a renewed feeling of confidence stemming in part from regaining control of its own fate.

For the first time in the history, the Green Bay Packers will host a Thanksgiving game at Lambeau Field on November 26! That game will pit them against their arch rival, the Chicago Bears. To make the game even more historic, Brett Favre will also return to Green Bay to be honored and have his legendary number (#4) retired in a stadium ceremony during halftime.
All is not lost. Seven games still remain on the Packers’ schedule, though it is difficult to imagine any future loss being more shocking, frustrating or disheartening than Green Bay’s latest one. The Packers’ 18-16 loss to the Detroit Lions Sunday at Lambeau Field both begs and defies that ageless question shouted by an infuriated Vince Lombardi: “What the hell is going on out there?”

It was essentially accepted that the Denver Broncos posed serious challenges to the Green Bay Packers in pass rush and pass coverage. Certainly the Packers didn’t plan on getting stymied by the 6-0 Broncos coming out of the bye week, but that’s what happened in Denver’s 29-10 victory Sunday night at Sports Authority Field at Mile High Stadium.

The Green Bay Packers’ defense accomplished an amazing feat Sunday. It stared down one of the NFL’s top quarterbacks on his best day and lived to tell about a 27-20 victory at Lambeau Field. San Diego’s Philip Rivers threw the football as well as anyone not named Aaron Rodgers is likely to in a long, long time here.
Is it possible the Green Bay Packers are more than a one-trick pony? Can it be that they have the horses on defense and special teams as well as offense to win the race? It is beginning to look like it. The Packers’ 24-10 victory against St. Louis Sunday at Lambeau Field might be considered bittersweet. After all, Aaron Rodgers looked merely mortal while throwing two interceptions and settling for an 82.8 passer rating.
