Packers Visit Vikings for Crucial NFC North Tilt on Monday Night Football

The Green Bay Packers been outscored in the second and fourth quarters. Only four of their 11 wins have come by more than one score. Their team rankings in rushing and passing yardage on both offense and defense are all in the bottom half of the league.

 

The Packers need only one victory over their final two games to take the division title and a first-round bye for the playoffs remains well within reach as they visit Minnesota on Monday night football.

 

Green Bay has the second-fewest turnovers in the NFL with nine, and their rushing attack spearheaded by Aaron Jones has ably complemented Rodgers in his up-and-down attempt to help his young wide receivers hit their stride. The defense has the third-best interception percentage in the league and the fifth-best red zone rate, allowing fewer than half of opponent possessions inside the 20 to cross the goal line.

 

The Packers have joined the Bills and the 49ers as teams already in the playoff field that missed the cut last season.
