The Green Bay Packers dominated both sides of the ball in a 31-3 beating of the Minnesota Vikings.
Wide receiver Greg Jennings had his biggest game of the season, catching seven passes for 152 yards and three touchdowns.

The key to the game was the turnover battle. Green Bay held onto the ball, while the Jets turned it over three times. (Read More…)

The team thought Finley would only miss a few weeks of action but quickly learned his knee injury was worse than first thought.
The Packers determined Finley would miss 8-10 weeks, but did not immediately put him on injured reserve.
They held out hope that maybe Finley could return for the last few games and the playoffs, but the team’s recent struggles made it impossible to keep him on the active roster that long. (Read More…)

The concussion occurred in overtime after Rodgers threw a pass that was intercepted and resulted in the game-winning score.
