Packers Reloaded: Why This Vikings Rematch Looks Different
The Packers do not need a reminder of how their first meeting with Minnesota ended.
Green Bay had a 22-10 lead in the third quarter and left with a 39-22 loss. Defensive penalties extended the Vikings’ go-ahead drive. The offense failed to convert a fourth-and-1, then turned the ball over on consecutive possessions as the game slipped away. Not to mention the absolute joke of horrible calls on three consecutive third-down stops.
Nine weeks later, the Packers head into the rematch with reasons to believe they are better equipped to finish. They have won five of their last six games, and their 45-27 victory over New England offered the clearest look yet at what this team can become.
