The last time these two teams met was back during Week 9 in 2007. It featured the greatest single game accomplishment in NFL history – Adrian Peterson put up an astonishing 296 rushing yards in only his eighth career game.

Unfortunately for fans of other NFC teams, the Packers look like they could be even better this year and have a legitimate shot at a repeat. Fortunately though, Drew Lange has found five reasons why they won’t.
Drew wants to say something. He’s going to put it out there, and if you like it, you can take it; if you don’t, send it right back. The Minnesota Vikings will make the playoffs. Well, they could anyway, which is close enough.
