NEXT OPPONENT: GREEN BAY (6-3)

The Packers have lost three in a row. They were beaten at Denver and Carolina, then fell Sunday at home to Detroit.

OPPONENT WEEK 10

Green Bay 18, Detroit 16

The Lions lost 24 straight on the road against the Packers before Sunday's victory. The Packers recovered an onside kick to get a chance to win, but Mason Crosby missed a 52-yard field goal as time expired.

WHAT TO WATCH FOR

Aaron Rodgers, quarterback

Rodgers' receiving corps has been decimated by injury and the Packers run game is faltering. Rodgers was forced to pass 61 times on Sunday, completing 35 for 333 yards and two touchdowns.

OUTLOOK

The Vikings are catching the Packers at the right time and in the right place. Outlook: Horns up.
