[QUOTE="Travis Duncan, post: 403644, member: 5142"] Not that they needed to redeem themselves, but this game was about a dominating Packers defensive performance. Whatever was lacking a week ago in San Diego defensively was there Monday night at Lambeau. The Packers limited the Vikings 266 total yards on offense. They held [B]Adrian Peterson[/B] to 51 yards on 14 carries. Vikings rookie quarterback [B]Christian Ponder[/B] was 16 of 34 for 190 yards with an interception and was sacked three times. He was hit six times. The Vikings were tackled for a loss on five plays. “We owed it to our fans, our team and especially our offense, who’s been playing out of their minds this year," Charles Woodson [URL='http://www.packers.com/media-center/videos/Soundbites-Just-having-fun/cc6b29b4-1746-48ed-abfb-c328dd73c686']said after the game[/URL]. "We needed a game like that. But it’s still one game." The lone blemish was the [B]Randall Cobb[/B] punt return fumble which set up the Vikings only score. Cobb is having an interesting rookie year, but his fumbles don't seem so bad when he can take it 55-yards or all the way for a touchdown on returns. “He has three fumbles in nine games and that’s not cutting it,” [URL='http://www.packers.com/media-center/videos/McCarthys-incredible-night-at-Lambeau/549bb665-fd23-40d1-8fa9-45bb36545122'][B]Mike McCarthy[/B] said[/URL] But McCarthy said collectively it was the Packers best performance simply because of the margin of victory. [B]Aaron Rodgers[/B] continues to build what should be considered an all-time great NFL season for a quarterback-he's a shoo in for the MVP award at this point. He completed 23 of 30 passes for 250 yards with 4 TDs. His passer rating was 140.3 He now has 28 TDs on the year with seven games left to go to [URL='http://www.pro-football-reference.com/leaders/pass_td_single_season.htm']break [B]Tom Brady's[/B] single season NFL TD record of 50 set in 2007.[/URL] Rodgers for his part said the Packers had too many negative yardage penalties and they needed to convert better on third down, where they went 7 out of 13. At this point in the season it's about staying focused and healthy while reaching the goal of retaining home-field advantage in the NFC playoffs. Up next are the 4-5 Tampa Bay Buccaneers Sunday afternoon at Lambeau. [/QUOTE]
