Next target for Vikings' revived pass rush: Aaron Rodgers

There may not be a Vikings player who wants to end the Packers' playoff chances more on Sunday than edge rusher Za'Darius Smith, the former Green Bay defender who hasn't minced words about his excitement to face his former team this season.

Smith, who has 10 sacks in 15 games for the Vikings, declined multiple interview requests this week. But edge rusher Danielle Hunter said it's not only Smith, but also former Packers coaches on the Vikings staff, Mike Pettine and Mike Smith, who are looking forward to asserting their NFC North champion status at Lambeau Field.
