Eddie Lacy reborn as Packers dominate Vikings
The NFC North still goes through Green Bay. The Packers dispatched the Vikings in convincing fashion with a vintage performance from Aaron Rodgers and the team’s defensive line in a 30-13 win. Here’s what we learned:
1. Take away the records, and this looked like most Vikings-Packers games in the Mike McCarthy era. Green Bay’s defensive line deserves the most credit in the resounding win for absolutely manhandling Minnesota upfront all day. Mike Daniels, Datone Jones, Clay Matthews, Julius Peppers and friends all took turns punishing Teddy Bridgewater with six sacks. They also stuffed Adrian Peterson to the tune of 35 rushing yards.
Every game, all season
2. There was a lot for the Packers to be excited about in this season-altering win. Now 7-3 and tied with Minnesota atop the NFC North, the Packers enter a stretch against three straight losing teams with a head of steam. Eddie Lacy (100 yards on 22 carries) looked completely refreshed after his week off. Aaron Rodgers also threw in his handful of outrageous throws, often on the run, just like he was in September.
