Green Bay Packers are in the giving mood with a loss to the Minnesota Vikings
With a thrilling 37-34 loss to the Minnesota Vikings, the Green Bay Packers are in the gift-giving mood. It was the Chicago Bears who were naughty and the Vikings who were nice this holiday season.

Previewing the Green Bay Packers vs. the Adrian Petersons
No disrespect to the Minnesota Vikings who are one of the better stories in the NFL and NFC North particularly.

After road games with the Indianapolis Colts and Houston Texans, the St. Louis Rams are the next team to welcome Green Bay into their house.
