The Vikings have a 13-7 halftime lead over the Packers at Lambeau Field. Vikings running back Adrian Peterson scored on a one-yard touchdown with 50 seconds left in the half to give the Vikings their first lead. He has 14 carries for 72 yards and a touchdown.

The good: Vikings linebacker Audie Cole made the most of his first career start during the first half. He recorded his first career sack on the first play of the game and led the team with five tackles (four solo).

The Vikings also didn't commit a penalty in the first half. The Packers have two for 20 yards.

The bad: The Vikings defense didn't tackle well again, particularly against Packers running back Eddie Lacy. He broke tackles on practically every carry, dragging defenders in the process. Lacy has 13 carries for 62 yards

Vikings offensive tackle Matt Kalil couldn't handle Packers linebacker Clay Matthews, who had two sacks in the first half. Kalil hardly made any contact with Matthews on his first sack. Ponder was sacked three times in the first half.

The ugly: Packers quarterback Scott Tolzien looked like Johnny Manziel on his six-yard touchdown run in the first quarter. Vikings defensive end Brian Robison bit on Tolzien's pump fake, then Vikings defensive tackle Letroy Guion whiffed at Tolizen's video game spin move while he dived into the end zone.

Tolzien went 7 of 15 for 98 yards. He also had two carries for 25 yards and a touchdown.
