Defense locks down Vikings

Led by two sacks from Micah Parsons, the Packers’ defense held the Minnesota Vikings to six points, as Green Bay won its second divisional game of the season, 23-6 on Nov. 23.

Parsons closed out his fifth straight 10-sack season and second multi-sack game with the Packers.

All three phases of the game come together against Minnesota

While the offensive numbers don’t jump off of the page, Sunday’s game against the Minnesota Vikings is the Packers most complete win of the season.

Green Bay offense needs to show its power

Green Bay has a lot to clean up on offense, defense and special teams if they intend to make a deep playoff push this season.

All three facets of the game have had their positive moments this season, but all three have also floundered as well.

How will they perform against NFC North foe Minnesota on Sunday?

Keys to the Game: Green Bay offense, defense dropping too many balls

The Green Bay Packers are 6-3-1 after narrowly escaping the upset-minded New York Giants at MetLife Stadium.

This week, they’ll return home for the first of three straight division games and four out of the next five.

The Minnesota Vikings come to town this week, and they are reeling after a 19-17 loss at home to the Chicago Bears on a last-second field goal.

Six-Pack: Packers need to reverse recent history against Vikings

The Green Bay Packers will host the Minnesota Vikings at noon Sunday in the first of three consecutive NFC North contests.

More on that in our weekly six pack.

1. Division Dominance

The Packers used to be automatic at home in the division. That was especially true when Aaron Rodgers was the quarterback.

Since Jordan Love took over, however, that has not been the case.

Parsons says defense needs to get off the field sooner

Micah Parsons has eight sacks so far this season, after collecting another 1.5 against the New York Giants on Nov. 17.

What were those drives like in the second half? It was 16 plays, 15 plays. You had the one fourth-down stop, you had so many near chances at interceptions, and then Evan (Green Bay Packers safety Evan Williams) gets the pick, and you get the sack to finish the game.
