60. There’s mutiny aboard the Vikings ship after an almost unprecedented collapse. Minnesota’s defensive backs reportedly ignored Mike Zimmer’s game plan on at-least the first drive of the game against Green Bay. Aaron Rodgers completed all four of his pass attempts for 28 yards, and was forced to punt. On the ensuing Packers drive, Rodgers had another perfect series capped off with a 21-yard touchdown to Jordy Nelson. Minnesota saw Sam Bradford threw three touchdowns, while also fumbling in the loss. Eric Kendricks did come up big on defense, recording 2.5 sacks, 11 tackles, 3.5 tackles for loss, and three quarterback hits. <p>Next Week: With the playoffs officially out of the conversation, Minnesota prepares for the Chicago Bears.
