The Packers got the ball to start the second half and once again looked calm and efficient against a Vikings defense that appeared to have no answers for either Aaron Rodgers and DuJuan Harris. An Everson Griffen sack on the drive wasn’t enough to derail the Packers completely but they did manage to hold the Packers to a field goal on a beautifully defended pass from Harrison Smith.
However, a 12-men penalty (Jasper Brinkley) unbelievably kept the Packers on the field inside the 10 yard line which of course is not good. A quick checkdown to John Kuhn put the Packers up by three touchdowns.
The Packers, with a comfortable lead, were then able to key in on Adrian Peterson and contain him but a few nice passes to Kyle Rudolph and Jarius Wright gave the Vikings some life. It wasn’t enough to keep them out of a 4th down scenario, however, and that play ended up being the nail in the coffin. Joe Webb was stripped by Clay Matthews for the games first turnover.
On a great run stop from Fred Evans and Harrison Smith, Smith looked to be seriously hurt, proving that even when things go right for the Vikings they go wrong. At least that seems to be the way of it tonight. The Vikings did, however, succeed in getting the Packers offense off the field one play later.
The third quarter ended following a Joe Webb interception.
The fourth quarter has to be really, really, really, really, really, really good if the Vikings are going to pull this one off.

Just think of this;
We get a much better draft pick by not winning the Super Bowl.
It ain't over until Fran has a stroke ................. from them Cialis pills
SHEEEEEET Don't need none of that stuff. (I'd have a stroke and die)
And AGAIN, why not put MBT in? And why the hell would Musgrave call another pass play the rest of this game? He doesn't have a QB on the field!
The beer sales at lame blow have now ended, this is gonna get ugly
OMG
Welcome to the party, Mr. Sherels.
OMG what's next? Starting to feel like the fix is in
There's no fix in Johnny. We started the game with a WR, who can't catch, at QB
I'll say it again Fran, should have kept Rosencopter
This only one thing a punt returner MUST do, and that is to ...... catch ..... the..... ball .....
Ole, he caught it this time!
Sure havent heard the names Brinkley or Henderson very much
What else can happen.
