If the Green Bay Packers were going to discover their blueprint to be a contender this season, Week 17 was a good time to find it. Aaron Rodgers and company dominated the Minnesota Vikings 41-17 to show they are playoff ready.
In a game of"Who's Better' with sports media legend Mike Golic we ask him which top NFC East QB he'd take long term.GREEN BAY − If the Green Bay Packers were going to discover their blueprint to be a contender this season, Week 17 was a good time to find it.
The Packers approached the precipice of this season that started with Super Bowl expectations ending without a playoff appearance. Over the past month, those chances have steadily crawled back to life. After a 41-17 win against the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday, the Packers can seal the NFC’s seventh and final playoff spot with a home win against the Detroit Lions next weekend.
Even then, the Packers always figured to be an early playoff exit – at best – with how they’ve played this season. Those expectations might be changing, too. It’s one thing to beat a Vikings team that, despite 12 wins this season, entered Lambeau Field as a field goal underdog. It’s another to thoroughly dismantle a team that easily handled them in Week 1 at Minnesota. The Packers pulled away with a 27-3 halftime lead, thanks to Mason Crosby doinking a 56-yard field goal over the crossbar as the first-half clock expired.Here’s a look at the Packers’ most dominant win all year.
