TODAY'S VIKINGS SCHEDULE

The Vikings have changed up their usual Thursday practice schedule. They will practice at 11 a.m. instead of the afternoon, giving players a chance to get out of the building faster so they can celebrate the holiday.

SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT

Vikings coach Mike Zimmer will coach at Lambeau Field for the fifth time in his career on Sunday and said it's easy to understand why it can be so difficult for visiting teams win there. "It's more about the mystique and I've played there four times," Zimmer said. "It's just a cool atmosphere really. Their crowd is good and things like that, and usually they have good players. That's part of the problem."
