It goes without saying that that’s no mean feat. Aaron Rodgers is looking like an MVP frontrunner right now, and the 12-3 Packers are still playing for first in the NFC with the Cowboys hot on their tails. A first-round bye followed by two games at Lambeau would put the Packers in a familiar position, but that doesn’t make it any easier for teams looking to best them.
Rodgers has 16 touchdowns and no interceptions in his last five games, which includes the loss to the Vikings. That game was a classic duel that just didn’t go the Packers’ way. The Vikings will have to keep pace again if they’re to have any chance of besting the Packers on the Frozen Tundra.
For the Vikings, the loss of Cousins makes an already difficult task feel insurmountable. In their last meeting, Cousins outdueled an early perfect Rodgers, throwing for 341 yards and three touchdowns without turning the ball over. Now, the Vikings must turn to either Sean Mannion or Kellen Mond (please change if they sign someone, but that seems unlikely). Dalvin Cook will have to lead the way on the ground for Minnesota, as their only hope now seems to be to control the ball and keep Rodgers off the field.
