The Good Stuff vs Green Bay
- A loud crowd in Minnesota. Packers fans are known for traveling well, especially to Minnesota for the NFC North matchups. The crowd today came to be rowdy, causing Green Bay to get confused and even stop the game to regroup.
- Jerick McKinnon in the passing game. It’s great to have a running back that can be such a weapon in multiple ways. As a receiver out of the backfield, JET is a threat to break a big play any time the ball gets in his hands, and with Keenum’s efficiency, it is a match made in heaven.
- Treadwell having a great day. A highlight reel catch was the most explosive part of a day that found him catching 3 balls for 51 yards with Stefon Diggs out for the week. He will likely get a bigger role on offense if he can keep impressing on game day.
- Adam Thielen drawing flags. The Packers respect his route running and speed so much that he drew multiple flags for holding and pass interference. With Diggs out, Thielen was going to get a lot of attention, and Green Bay was definitely keeping tabs on him.
- The Vikings run defense. With Aaron Rodgers out, the Vikings knew that they would need to stop the Packers running backs. Thankfully, the team was up to the challenge, winning the battle in the trenches led by defensive tackle Linval Joseph.
