Under defensive coordinator Dom Capers this ought to happen. The attack have been the genuine stars of the terrific run and whilst the defense is also competing relatively well, Capers has underlined the need for the Green Bay Packers to stay on target this week and is always looking for growth from his defensive unit.
If the Minnesota Vikings are to break down that defense and improve on their poor record of 2 wins and 6 losses this year, they will need to expose the Packers’ vulnerability to major passing plays which has been their principal weak spot all year. They have had trouble with the pass rush, managing 19 sacks which places 17th in the nfl. It will likely disappoint him that Clay Matthews has contributed only 3 sacks.

The Minnesota Vikings are lacking Chris Cook since his felony arrest and could use his organizational abilities against the Green Bay Packers. They’re going to have to manage without their top 2010 draft pick for the foreseeable future whilst his legal issues are settled.
