Vinkings Packers: Round 3
What a game it was! The packers had beaten the Vikings 2 times in the regular season. Believe it or not this was the first time the two teams have ever met in the playoffs. And what a game to watch for Vikings fans… I’m sure Packer fans were looking for a bit more out of their team.
The Vikings came out on top at the end of the game. WOOHOO!
I’ll be honest… when the Vikings scored to make the score 31-17 I was a bit worried. The two times during the season that the Packers beat the Vikings the score ended 34-31 in favor of the Packers, both times winning on last second field goal kicks… and the Packers have a clutch QB in FAV-re. But it was NOT fav-re’s night to bring the ‘pack’ back. A strong game plan by the Vikings was just too much for the Packers to handle.
I heard a stat today that really surprised me. 74% of the TV sets in the local area (minnesota/wisconsin??) were tuned in to the game. WOW! That’s the most it’s been in 5 years. Amazing.
Next up for the Vikings will be another road game against the Philly Eagles. Anything is possible in the NFL. Go Vikes!
