They turned to Teddy Bridgewater and he was more than ready against Atlanta.<\/p>\n When Adrian Peterson was lost it looked like the season would go right along with it but if you have a quarterback that doesn\u2019t make mistakes and a running game that cranks out 200+ yards like they did against the Falcons you are going to find yourself in a lot of ball games.<\/p>\n [dfads params=’groups=63753&limit=1&return_javascript=0′]<\/p>\n Next step for Bridgewater is doing it all again.<\/p>\n Fortunately for Bridgewater this trip up to Green Bay won\u2019t be in the snow but the focus will still be the same:<\/p>\n Don\u2019t make mistakes. Green Bay is a better team than Atlanta but they have not been playing well this season so if Minnesota is sharp they should be able to make this a contest.<\/p>\n [dfads params=’groups=66501&limit=1&return_javascript=0′]<\/p>\n If Bridgewater, or anyone else on the team, makes a lot of mistakes, they will be toast.<\/p>\n The Packers have been down and up this season, losing and then winning over the course of the first quarter of the season.<\/p>\n Last week at Chicago was almost an early must win because it was in the division and a loss would have really put them behind the eight ball.<\/p>\n This week will be the third in a row against division mates but the first at home. Based on last week\u2019s performance the Vikings may be more of a challenge than we thought a couple of weeks ago.<\/p>\n If Green Bay is going to take the NFC North again they need to get more from RB Eddie Lacy. He was brilliant once given a chance last season but through 4 games he is averaging only three yards per carry.<\/p>\n [dfads params=’groups=63752&limit=1&return_javascript=0′]<\/p>\n I know there are a lot of things that go into a successful ground game but they have to get more production on the ground, even with one of the best quarterbacks in the league leading the way.<\/p>\n Vikings are 0-5-1 ATS in their last 6 games in October. I absolutely hate giving up so many points but things might have been a little too good to be true for Bridgewater last week.<\/p>\n\n
