Green Bay Packers Team Overview
At the beginning of the season are justifiable concerns about the loss of receiver Davonte Adams to the Las Vegas Raiders. Adams was Aaron Rodgers’ number one receiver, but he wanted out of Green Bay. Of great concern was that Rodgers had to admonish his receiving corps in the preseason.
Head coach Matt LaFleur has taken the Pack to the playoffs in all three of his seasons. But Green Bay failed to get to the Super Bowl. Following two appearances in the NFC championship game, LaFleur’s Packers lost the divisional round at home to the 49ers. It was the second consecutive season that Green Bay was eliminated on the Frozen Tundra of Lambeau Field.
Minnesota Vikings Team Overview
Since making the 2017 NFC championship game, the Vikings regressed. Mike Zimmer ran out of answers as head coach. It was time for him to go. Now the question is if new head coach Kevin O’Connell has arrived in time to save the Minnesota playoff window. In 2020 the Vikings had one of the biggest and highest draft hauls in NFL history. Yet it has not panned out. In particular, the Vikings broke up a good defense in that draft.
O’Connell is tasked with getting quarterback Kirk Cousins up to speed. At the onset of his arrival, Cousins was touted as the final piece of the Super Bowl puzzle. Instead, Cousins has failed to get the Vikings back to the NFC championship game.
