Friday Musings: After tough two weeks, Packers’ slot defenders will be tested again

With their postseason chances on the line Sunday, the Minnesota Vikings will not go away easily. The question for the Green Bay Packers is if the team can finally put together a complete game for the first time of the late season and ruin the Vikings’ hopes.

A loss in the frigid air of Lambeau Field would nearly eliminate the Vikings from wildcard contention, but there are some positives in their favor. Defensively, Minnesota has found success in pressuring the quarterback throughout the season, while the offense has trended toward heavier utilization of the slot receiver in recent weeks.
