The Vikings played well, but not well enough, as they were fighting for their season.  With the Packers win, the Vikings were eliminated from playoff consideration.

With the win, the Packers have set up a showdown in Detroit in Week 17.  The winner will win the NFC North division title.

Rodgers, Nelson save the day

Week 15

Soldier Field
Chicago, Illinois

Packers 30 - Bears 27

Aaron Rodgers and Jordy Nelson saved the day.

With under a minute remaining and the game tied, Rodgers connected with Nelson for 60 yards to put the Packers in field goal range for Mason Crosby to kick a game-winning field goal at the buzzer in Chicago.

The win extends the winning streak to four.  Currently, the Packers now hold the 6th seed in the NFC playoffs.  With a Detroit loss to the New York Giants, the Packers now control their own destiny.  Win the next two games and they will win the NFC North division.  Wild Card spot is also a possibility, but unlikely.

Ty Montgomery had a monster game (as a running back). Ty rushed for 162 yards on 16 carries and had two touchdowns.  Montgomery is getting better each week, which is very encouraging.

Ha Ha Clinton-Dix had a nice game as well as he intercepted Bears quarterback Matt Barkley twice in the third quarter.

The Packers dominated the Seattle Seahawks at Lambeau Field to extend their winning streak to three games. The Packers improved their record to 7-6 on the season and kept pace in the NFC playoff picture.

Another small dose of revenge against the Seahawks after the 2014 playoff game.  The Packers crushed the Seahawks.  Aaron Rodgers threw for 243 yards and three touchdowns.  Rodgers' continued to play with a banged up hamstring and reportedly hurt his calf during the game.  Despite the injuries, QB1 was lights out against the number one defense in the NFL.  The Packers got the game off and running as Rodgers' connected with Davante Adams for a 66-yard touchdown on the third play of the game.  Adams finished the day with 104 receiving yards.  Jordy Nelson had 41 receiving yards and caught two touchdowns.

Packers defeat Texans in the snow

Week 13

Lambeau Field
Green Bay, Wisconsin

Packers 21 - Texans 13

The Packers do just enough to beat the Houston Texans at snowy Lambeau Field to keep their playoff hopes alive.  The snowy conditions neutralized the field and made it difficult to execute.  With the win, the Packers have evened their record at 6-6, however, remain two games behind the Detroit Lions in the division.  In the Wild Card race, the Packers are only one game behind the Tampa Bay Bucs, however, there is a lot of teams in the hunt.

Aaron Rodgers, playing with a sore hamstring, tossed two touchdowns.  Jordy Nelson continued a solid season with 8 receptions for 118 yards.  Nelson also caught his 10th touchdown of the season.
