GREEN BAY – The Minnesota Vikings travel to Green Bay for a frigid playoff game Saturday night.
Minnesota just a week ago beat Green Bay in Minneapolis 37-34 behind star running back Adrian Peterson’s 199 yards on 34 carries. He also rushed for one touchdown and caught a touchdown pass. By losing the game, Green Bay was forced into a first round home payoff game against their hated division rival.
This week, the stakes are much higher, and the teams are extremely familiar with each other. The Packers have several key playmakers returning from injury, while the Vikings still feature Adrian Peterson.
However, another big day from “AP” may not be enough. Minnesota is 0-3 at Lambeau Field when Peterson rushes for over 100 yards. in the Vike’s last trip to Lambeau on December 2nd, Peterson’s 210 rushing yards were not enough as Green Bay won 23-14.
The Green Bay Packers will participate in the playoffs for the 28th time, the third-most postseason appearances in NFL history. Minnesota makes its 27th appearance.
Game time temps are predicted be in the mid twenties.
