How both teams got here is a little wacky. The Minnesota Vikings have started four different quarterbacks this season. The Green Bay Packers are breaking in their third franchise QB since ‘92 but Jordan Love has been just fine. Defense is the problem in Wisconsin.

But the NFL schedule makers pitted these two teams against each other on New Year’s Eve for a reason. There was always a good chance a ton would be on the line.

Green Bay (7-8) now visits Minnesota (7-8) in an elimination game.

I’ll share a link to the Gameday Chat later today. It should be our best yet given the high stakes across the league.
