The Green Bay Packers can put some distance between themselves and their NFC North competition with a victory on Sunday against the Minnesota Vikings.
The Packers (8-2) -- ranked No. 1 in USA TODAY Sports' NFL Power Rankings -- lead the division by 3 1/2 games over the Vikings and are coming off a 17-0 shutout of the Seattle Seahawks. Quarterback Aaron Rodgers returned to the lineup in Seattle after missing the previous game because of a positive COVID-19 test. However, starting running back Aaron Jones is expected to be out with a knee injury.
