49. Green Bay sealed another critical division game with their fifth consecutive win, this one coming against the Vikings. Aaron Rodgers threw four touchdowns with 347 yards in the air, and a red zone scamper for a touchdown of his own. Jordy Nelson had the biggest day of all the Packers receivers, catching half of Rodgers touchdowns, and nearly half his yards. On defense the Packers rattled Sam Bradford by sacking him four times, landing eight hits, and forcing a fumble. Nick Perry starred with two of the four sacks, and Clay Matthews also landed one of his own. <p>Next Week: Green Bay’s final game of the regular season will take place on the road in Detroit in a recently flexed game.

Dallas and New York will gain a couple of extra fans out in Wisconsin with the Packers chances of a playoff run fading.</p>. 9-6. Previous: . Green Bay Packers. 5. team
