Sunday in Green Bay, the Packers (6-3-1) host the Minnesota Vikings (4-6) in what is shaping up to be a crucial game between NFC North rivals. The Packers currently reside in second place in the division. The Vikings are in last.
This obviously is as close as you can get to a must-win game for Minnesota if they hope to even remotely challenge for a playoff berth. While a spot in the postseason is the primary goal, seeing growth and progress from J.J. McCarthy is a close second. The sophomore signal-caller has been inconsistent on his good days putting together fantastic flashes and even full quarters but then struggling to find any kind of rhythm for long stretches of games. If he is not efficient Sunday and holds onto the ball too long, Micah Parsons will get back in the race for Defensive Player of the Year and the Packers’ defense will enjoy a big day.
Jordan Love has not struggled to the degree McCarthy has, but the veteran has consistently had issues getting his team into the endzone this season. For example, the 27 points they scored in their win over the Giants this past week was seven more than they had scored in the previous two weeks combined. The loss of Tucket Kraft (knee) removed a valuable weapon from Love’s arsenal this past weekend and for the foreseeable future, but a bigger loss would be Josh Jacobs. The All Pro left the Giants’ game early with a knee injury, but the report coming out of Green Bay is that the star back avoided a major or season-ending injury. That said, he may miss time. That will make finding some consistency and points on offense more difficult, but it remains a priority regardless of who is in the lineup for Matt LaFleur.
Lets dive into the numbers and see if we can find an advantage or two to play.
