Speaker 1: Hi everyone, Welcome to Packers Unscripted from Packers dot Com.
Speaker 1: I am Mike Spofford. He is the one and only
Speaker 1: West Hodkowitz. Were coming to you here from our studios
Speaker 1: at lambeau Field, WES. Our final show of the week,
Speaker 1: Our final show before the Monday night showdown in Minneapolis
Speaker 1: Packers Vikings at US Bank Stadium on Monday Night football.
Speaker 1: So it's time to talk Keys to victory. What do
Speaker 1: the Packers need to do to emerge victorious and clinch
Speaker 1: their first NFC North title for the first time in
Speaker 1: three years. Whoever is running the ball for the Minnesota
Speaker 1: Vikings stop that individual. So if it's Dalvin Cook, Alexander Madison,
Speaker 1: Matt Mike Boone, Robert Smith, Adrian Peterson, whoever is back
Speaker 1: there for they make sure you're stay on top of it.
Speaker 1: Because the thing is is that I think by all accounts,
Speaker 1: Cook is not playing in this game. Mike Zimmer has
Speaker 1: not said that, but again those are what all the
Speaker 1: reports are. We'll see what happens in the lead up
Speaker 1: to kick off. But Alexander Madison not practicing this week.
Speaker 1: Now the spotlight is on Mike Boone and you really
Speaker 1: don't know exactly who's going to be back there, what
Speaker 1: they're gonna do. The thing I like though, if you
Speaker 1: can stop the running back, whoever that guy is, that's
Speaker 1: where you're making Kirk Cousins win this game for the Vikings.
Speaker 1: And don't get me wrong, he's certainly capable of doing that.
Speaker 1: But the less dimensions he has to work with and
Speaker 1: the fewer weapons that there are available, it's gonna behof
Speaker 1: the Packers and their defense. Yeah, and I don't have
Speaker 1: a whole bunch of statistics in front of me, but
Speaker 1: I've seen things and read things over the course of
Speaker 1: this season. For as strong as season as Cousins is having,
Speaker 1: and he's having the best season of his career with
Speaker 1: a one eleven passer rating, it's only thrown five interceptions.
Speaker 1: Two of those came against the Packers in Week two,
Speaker 1: but he's only thrown three interceptions since Week two. Kirk
Speaker 1: Cousins is much much better are off of play action
Speaker 1: and that bootleg stuff. Then if he's just a straight
Speaker 1: drop backpass or taking snaps in the shotgun without all
Speaker 1: the other action that makes you know, the defense have
Speaker 1: to honor other things. I think that can be said
Speaker 1: for a lot of quarterbacks. I'm not trying to pick
Speaker 1: on Kirk Cousins and Aaron Rodgers looks a heck of
Speaker 1: a lot better off of play action as well. We've
Speaker 1: talked about that, but that just goes to your point
Speaker 1: of whoever it is that's running the ball for the Vikings.
Speaker 1: If you can clamp down there and take away some
Speaker 1: of the the play action and bootleg stuff that is
Speaker 1: such a big part of the Vikings offense and the
Speaker 1: action that they get off of those maneuvers, I think
Speaker 1: that does put the Packers defense in a pretty good position. Well,
Speaker 1: and again the Mike Spotford let's be real Moment of
Speaker 1: the Week sponsored by a quick trip the Packers. The
Speaker 1: thing is is that Delvin Cook is a dynamic football player.
Speaker 1: He's been voted to the Pro Bowl for a reason.
Speaker 1: So we saw bust off of seventy five yard touchdown
Speaker 1: run here at lambeau Field when his team was down
Speaker 1: still as by the way, Yeah, but here's the thing
Speaker 1: is that if Cook is unable to play, the Packers
Speaker 1: need to make this game look like Delvin Cook is
Speaker 1: not playing in it. You can't let the next guy up,
Speaker 1: whether it's Madison Boone or whoever. Be, you know, come
Speaker 1: in and feel really confident. They've been doing a really
Speaker 1: solid job. I think the last two three games of
Speaker 1: not allowing explosive plays and for the most part limiting
Speaker 1: the damage that running backs have been doing. I think
Speaker 1: you're seeing Kenny Clark and Dean Lowry and that defensive
Speaker 1: front really gel together and get some really good solid,
Speaker 1: uh you know, tackling at the second levels is you know,
Speaker 1: kind of played into all that. And if the Packers
Speaker 1: can win that aspect of this and get Aaron Jones
Speaker 1: going on their own side of the ball, I talk
Speaker 1: and I mentioned over and over again trying to take
Speaker 1: the crowd out of it at US Bank Stadium. Eliminating
Speaker 1: explosive plays in drawing this thing out is the number
Speaker 1: two top two things that I think kind of fit
Speaker 1: into that recipe for for success. Yeah, I mean when
Speaker 1: you talk about taking the crowd out of it, I
Speaker 1: mean there there's is nothing better than hitting an explosive play,
Speaker 1: staying out of those third down situations offensively, and nothing
Speaker 1: is going to slow down the pass rush. Daniel Hunter,
Speaker 1: Everson Griffin going against Brian Blaga, David Bactieri. Nothing's going
Speaker 1: to slow down that edge rush more than getting that
Speaker 1: running game going for the Packers. If you can get
Speaker 1: the vikings to have to honor the run, you know,
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers if he's got an extra half a second
Speaker 1: and actually extra three quarters of a second because those
Speaker 1: pass rushers have to play a little bit of run
Speaker 1: on the way to the quarterback, as some folks like
Speaker 1: to say. I think that can make a huge difference here.
Speaker 1: And the other thing I think that that goes without
Speaker 1: saying is obviously the turnover battle, which we can get
Speaker 1: into some of those numbers as well. Yeah, and this
Speaker 1: is to be honest with you, Aaron Jones performance in
Speaker 1: that first game against Minnesota twenty three carries for hundred
Speaker 1: and sixteen yards five yards of carries. His longest carry
Speaker 1: was fifteen yards in that ball game. To go for
Speaker 1: a to go for a buck sixteen with your longest
Speaker 1: carry being fifteen, that means that means you were pretty steady,
Speaker 1: pretty consistent, and a and a regular mover of the change. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and to do that with five yards a clip, I
Speaker 1: mean that shows you that there weren't a whole lot
Speaker 1: of one and two yard carries in there. That is
Speaker 1: them consistently winning on first and second down. And when
Speaker 1: you think about the start they got off to in
Speaker 1: that game, like three straight offensive touchdowns, being able to
Speaker 1: turn over a football that is I think what kind
Speaker 1: of set the table for them to have the day
Speaker 1: that they did. You got to repeat that. Yeah, absolutely
Speaker 1: with regard to the turnovers, I think, as we've been
Speaker 1: talking all weak long, it goes without saying, especially anytime
Speaker 1: you go on the road, you go into a dome
Speaker 1: and a noisy venue, and you look at this Vikings defense.
Speaker 1: They are, I believe it's fourth in the league with
Speaker 1: twenty seven takeaways. They're coming off of a seven takeaway
Speaker 1: outing against the Chargers. The Packers are a few steps
Speaker 1: behind them in the rankings, either sixth or seventh in
Speaker 1: the league with twenty three. I mean, some of the
Speaker 1: numbers get skewed a little bit. As I said, the
Speaker 1: Vikings just had seven takeaways in one game, and you know,
Speaker 1: things got out of hand again it's the Chargers. The
Speaker 1: Packers got two takeaways last week, one on a hail
Speaker 1: Mary at the end of the half, the other one
Speaker 1: on you know, the multilateral final play of the game.
Speaker 1: But you can you can parse the numbers and and
Speaker 1: say what's misleading and whatever and any which way you
Speaker 1: want to. I think the Packers have to win the
Speaker 1: turnover battle in order to win this game. I just
Speaker 1: I just think that they're the great equalizer when you
Speaker 1: have a lot of other things going against you. And
Speaker 1: I think with the Packers going into this building, with
Speaker 1: that crowd, with that Minnesota defense, and and what one
Speaker 1: or one or two turnovers can do for Minnesota's defense,
Speaker 1: and what that's going to do to the crowd, the
Speaker 1: Packers just cannot go down that road and expect to
Speaker 1: win this football. Yeah, And and that is especially in
Speaker 1: that environment, because in any other road, you know, you
Speaker 1: can't lose one or two points in the turnover differential
Speaker 1: and expect to win on the road. You're gonna need
Speaker 1: things to go your way in different areas for that
Speaker 1: to play out. But in that stadium, a place where
Speaker 1: the Vikings are undefeated this year. I don't know their
Speaker 1: exact record over the last three seasons when they're in
Speaker 1: that house, but it is difficult to beat them. And
Speaker 1: even when teams look like they've had the upper hand,
Speaker 1: they just haven't been able to finish it. So I
Speaker 1: think when you go from the first game of the
Speaker 1: year with Green Beta where they need to be at
Speaker 1: in this second match up with Minnesota. They got off
Speaker 1: to that first start they wanted, that first quarter they wanted,
Speaker 1: but what does it look like in quarters to what
Speaker 1: does it look like after halftime? You're gonna have to
Speaker 1: keep that up. It is impossible to play a a
Speaker 1: complete sixty minute performance. There's always gonna be something in
Speaker 1: there you're gonna want back. The game is just too
Speaker 1: many plays and there's too many variables, especially when you're
Speaker 1: on the road. But if you end up coming out
Speaker 1: and having a good start, and you come out a
Speaker 1: halftime strong and you protect the football, that's the recipe.
Speaker 1: It's it's it isn't a secret what you have to
Speaker 1: do to beat the Vikings. It's just the amount of
Speaker 1: perfection that you have to achieve to do it is
Speaker 1: That's really the challenge. Yeah, and we talked about a
Speaker 1: bunch of the key matchups and whatnot in this game
Speaker 1: on yesterday's show. But the other thing that that it
Speaker 1: really is interesting about this because, as we talked about
Speaker 1: last week, it had been a long time since a
Speaker 1: Packers Bears game at lambeau Field had such high stakes
Speaker 1: for both teams. It's frankly been a while since a
Speaker 1: Packers Vikings game anywhere had stakes this high now I know.
Speaker 1: In which was only four years ago, the Vikings were
Speaker 1: coming to lambeau Field in the regular season finale and
Speaker 1: the NFC North title was on the line. But the
Speaker 1: Vikings and the Packers were both already in the playoffs,
Speaker 1: and neither team had a shot at a first round
Speaker 1: by it was really just who's gonna host a playoff
Speaker 1: game and who's going to be on the road for
Speaker 1: the playoffs. The Packers lost, the game went to Washington,
Speaker 1: the Vikings ended up hosting the Seahawks this game. The
Speaker 1: Packers can clinch the division with a win, they can
Speaker 1: keep themselves on track to get a number at least
Speaker 1: a number two seed in the first round. By Meanwhile,
Speaker 1: the Vikings are looking to clinch a playoff spot with
Speaker 1: a win. Now there's a chance they could get into
Speaker 1: the playoffs if on Saturday night, if the Rams lose
Speaker 1: to the forty niners, the Vikings would already be in
Speaker 1: the playoffs before Monday night. But of course they're still
Speaker 1: looking at what they would still be looking at, wanting
Speaker 1: to win the division, take the division from Green Bay
Speaker 1: by by winning the last two games and seeing the
Speaker 1: Packers lose the last two games. So this is this
Speaker 1: is a as as high stakes a Packers Vikings rivalry
Speaker 1: game as we've seen in quite a while. It is. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and I go back to and they knew they were
Speaker 1: in the playoffs. I mean, like you go back to
Speaker 1: two thousand twelve, even when they were at the YEA.
Speaker 1: Was definitely big because the Vikings that was at the
Speaker 1: Metro Dome. The Vikings needed to win to get into
Speaker 1: the playoffs. The Packers were. The Packers were in the
Speaker 1: playoffs and were the division champs, but we're looking to
Speaker 1: win to get a first round by so there was
Speaker 1: a lot on the line for both teams. Adrian Peterson
Speaker 1: had the big monster game as he was chasing the
Speaker 1: single season. It was he was at a hundred ninety Yeah,
Speaker 1: it was a hundred nineties something that he got. He
Speaker 1: ended up like seven or eight yards short of the record.
Speaker 1: I think it was yah um and uh um. Yeah.
Speaker 1: So the the Vikings got in the playoffs, the Packers
Speaker 1: ended up having to play in the first round, which
Speaker 1: ended up being against the Vikings. And then Christian Ponder
Speaker 1: didn't play and Joe Webb was the quarterback and the
Speaker 1: Viking season ended at lambeau Field the following week. But
Speaker 1: it's funny too because the Packers then had to go
Speaker 1: on the road to San Francisco. We all know that
Speaker 1: story very well. San Francisco got the bye instead of
Speaker 1: Green Bay is essentially what happened. The Vikings got the
Speaker 1: last playoff spot instead of the Bears, and that result
Speaker 1: at the Metrodome really just changed the whole course of
Speaker 1: the the NFC playoffs did, and it caused me to
Speaker 1: do a midnight overnight drive back to green Bay, Wisconsin
Speaker 1: because we had availability at seven thirty in the morning.
Speaker 1: Right that was that was an interesting time time, but
Speaker 1: because when the Packers played on Saturday. But so all
Speaker 1: these things stitched together though, it shows you what the
Speaker 1: stakes are and in the original point that you presented
Speaker 1: this is this is the highest stakes game between these
Speaker 1: two teams in some time. And it's funny that no
Speaker 1: matter what happens in this league where the Packers they
Speaker 1: went down for two years, Minnesota was out of the
Speaker 1: playoffs last year, the cream really does always rise back
Speaker 1: to the top. And I think when you look at
Speaker 1: not only Green Bay, but also Minnesota. During the Mike
Speaker 1: Zimmer era, these have been two of the more consistent
Speaker 1: teams in the NFL. So to see them square off
Speaker 1: here with these kind of steaks, uh, it is, it's it's.
Speaker 1: I think it's a real testament to how those both
Speaker 1: of those teams have sort of pulled themselves back up
Speaker 1: thought through adversity and now we're on the precipices again
Speaker 1: here of the playoffs. But Minnesota, you can tell Mike,
Speaker 1: And I'm sure Mike Zimmer's message all week long has
Speaker 1: been to his guys, what's at stake, what we have
Speaker 1: to do to achieve. It doesn't matter who's out there,
Speaker 1: this is our house. We have to protect it. So
Speaker 1: for green Bay, that is the uphill back climb that
Speaker 1: they face going into that venue. Yeah, and just interesting
Speaker 1: how this season is ending schedule wise, with the Packers
Speaker 1: playing back to back division games on the road here
Speaker 1: in week sixteen and seventeen, the Vikings playing back to
Speaker 1: back division games at home to end the regular season. Um,
Speaker 1: Packers have you know that leg up right now, but
Speaker 1: they need to win in order to in order to
Speaker 1: keep that and they want to make a statement. I mean,
Speaker 1: that's the one thing I've been writing an inbox all week,
Speaker 1: and it's one thing you and I have been talking about.
Speaker 1: You want to make a statement. As much as Minnesota
Speaker 1: I think needs a marquee win, I think Green Bay
Speaker 1: to feel good about the wins over the Giants in
Speaker 1: Washington and Chicago, they need to win over a winning
Speaker 1: football team, a good football team, to show them, Okay,
Speaker 1: what happened last month against San Francisco, that's an anomaly.
Speaker 1: We're going to press forward. We're going to be a contender.
Speaker 1: Well that and and that's the thing West, You and
Speaker 1: I both know nobody's oblivious to the fact that the
Speaker 1: the outside twelve six narrative on this Packers team is
Speaker 1: the analysts looking at what happened in San Francisco, what
Speaker 1: happened you know, in l A against the Chargers, that
Speaker 1: when this pack As team goes on the road, they're
Speaker 1: they're a different team. They don't live up to, you know,
Speaker 1: what everybody thinks they could be or should be. And
Speaker 1: and the Packers are being looked at as as not
Speaker 1: as strong a contender frankly as the forty Niners and
Speaker 1: the Seahawks and the Saints. For all the national analysts
Speaker 1: that are looking at it. You completely change that narrative
Speaker 1: if you go into US Banks Stadium on Monday night
Speaker 1: and pull out of victory every the and not that,
Speaker 1: not that anybody inside this building, not that anybody in
Speaker 1: that Packers locker room or in the coach's offices on
Speaker 1: third floor above us care at all about what the
Speaker 1: national the outside narrative is. I'm not saying that that
Speaker 1: you know, they couldn't care less about it, But it
Speaker 1: will change dramatically and swiftly if the Packers go into
Speaker 1: Minneapolis and get a win. Yeah, and I liken it
Speaker 1: a lot to what happened in two thousand fourteen with
Speaker 1: the Patriots. The Patriots came to lambou Field, things didn't
Speaker 1: go well for them. It was a really competitive football game,
Speaker 1: but they lost. After that game, they went on a
Speaker 1: four or five game winning streak to finish the regular
Speaker 1: season and then just went all the way to the
Speaker 1: Super Bowl and won the darn thing. So there is
Speaker 1: a lot to be said. I don't care what the
Speaker 1: opponent is, I don't care what the record is. If
Speaker 1: you find a way to get yourself on a four
Speaker 1: or five game winning streak to end the regular season,
Speaker 1: I can think of no better way to propel yourself
Speaker 1: into a postseason run. Yeah. Absolutely, Well, looking at some
Speaker 1: of the other games here that impact the NFC playoff
Speaker 1: picture already mentioned, the Rams and the forty Niners are
Speaker 1: playing on Saturday night. Packers fans Vikings fans will be
Speaker 1: on opposite sides there because the Vikings will be hoping
Speaker 1: that the Rams lose because that gets them into the playoffs.
Speaker 1: The Packers hoping that the Rams can win and stay
Speaker 1: alive and hand the forty Niners another loss, which will
Speaker 1: which would help the Packers in their quest potentially for
Speaker 1: a first round. By then, you look at Sunday's games.
Speaker 1: The New Orleans Saints are on the road at the
Speaker 1: Tennessee Titans. And then the other one is the Seattle Seahawks.
Speaker 1: Are they at home or on the road. They're at
Speaker 1: home against the Cardinals. At home, they're at home against
Speaker 1: the Cardinals. So Packers fans hoping that the Seahawks potentially
Speaker 1: get another loss tagged on them if the Cardinals have
Speaker 1: something left. Um as far as the Saints going to Tennessee,
Speaker 1: I've been you know how I've passed through all these
Speaker 1: different playoff things or whatever, I honestly can't really figure
Speaker 1: out a realistic scenario where the Saints Titans game even
Speaker 1: matters because it's against an a f C opponent. What
Speaker 1: I mean is, if the Saints were to lose, it
Speaker 1: doesn't really afford the Packers the opportunity to lose and
Speaker 1: then still win the division against the Lions and get
Speaker 1: the first round by. They would because the Saints are
Speaker 1: playing an a f C opponent in this one. If
Speaker 1: they were to lose and the Packers were to lose,
Speaker 1: the tiebreaker thing gets all changed around and the Packers
Speaker 1: would still need the Saints to lose to the Panthers
Speaker 1: the following week in order to get the first round by.
Speaker 1: So yeah, sure, cheer for the Titans and and you
Speaker 1: know if you don't want the Saints to win, But honestly,
Speaker 1: I just don't think that game really matters in in
Speaker 1: the big picture, just the way the schedule fell. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it probably doesn't because the Packers still have to win
Speaker 1: their games to be able to keep that laid ahead
Speaker 1: of the Saints. But you know who doesn't like to
Speaker 1: see a nice little Saints lost your division or your conference.
Speaker 1: They are going on they are going on the road,
Speaker 1: against a team that's fighting for a lot because Tennessee
Speaker 1: is right in the picture in uh in the a
Speaker 1: f C. And and the Saints have had some issues
Speaker 1: on the road. Yeah, and this is actually really good test.
Speaker 1: I love Mike Vrabel's defense. I think that's a really
Speaker 1: good unit. I think that's been the strength, that's been
Speaker 1: what they've carried their hat on this season. Is what
Speaker 1: exactly they've done so far and being able to, you know,
Speaker 1: win these games a lot of times with what they
Speaker 1: do on the defensive side of the and the resurrection
Speaker 1: of Ryan Tannehill at quarter absolutely and and Tannehill playing
Speaker 1: my strake mistake free football and not allowing them to
Speaker 1: win some ballgames. So yeah, you're right though they still
Speaker 1: have a lot to play for. Is they try to
Speaker 1: make a chase here and Vrabel obviously trying to put
Speaker 1: his own system in place. So if you can take
Speaker 1: out the Saints, you're feeling pretty good about yourself. But yeah,
Speaker 1: that is a tough task and certainly uh challenge there
Speaker 1: for for Tennessee. Yeah, before we go one, I want
Speaker 1: to get your opinion has absolutely nothing to do with
Speaker 1: the Packers, but Buffalo Bills versus New England Patriots. What
Speaker 1: do you think? Yeah, interesting, right, I think it's I
Speaker 1: think it's really interesting because the Patriots have not exactly
Speaker 1: looked like the Patriots, and Buffalo's defense is really good. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so Patriots defense is exemplary. That's one of the reasons
Speaker 1: that they are where they are. But it's funny how
Speaker 1: much the sentiment has changed from the first time these
Speaker 1: teams played each other, because if you go back early
Speaker 1: in the season, that was the only winning team that
Speaker 1: the Patriots had played. They handled them fine, uh, and
Speaker 1: they just went up out their way. Buffalo starting to
Speaker 1: feel a little bit better about itself and the Patriots
Speaker 1: have kind of gone through this mid season lull, this
Speaker 1: this mid to late season laws, so seeing how they
Speaker 1: bounced from back from it is going to be interesting.
Speaker 1: And certainly with Josh Allen, Buffalo's had. Buffalo's chalked up
Speaker 1: some nice road wins this year. I mean everybody saw
Speaker 1: obviously on Thanksgiving they won at Dallas, but Buffalo has
Speaker 1: also won at Tennessee and they won at Pittsburgh in
Speaker 1: a primetime game last week. So, uh, now they go
Speaker 1: they go into Foxborough trying to even up that season
Speaker 1: series against the Patriots. I also do have to ask
Speaker 1: the NFC East. I was waiting for the cow Boys
Speaker 1: Cowboys almost I almost forgot about it again because it
Speaker 1: doesn't it just doesn't affect the Packers. I'm sure when
Speaker 1: we get to our hotel Saturday afternoon and Miny or
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, Sunday afternoon in Minneapolis, will all be turning
Speaker 1: on our TVs to watch this or we will. We'll see.
Speaker 1: I don't know how much I want to put my
Speaker 1: eyeballs through that, but well we'll see exactly how come on,
Speaker 1: it's it's I think it's going to be an interesting game.
Speaker 1: Though it could be very interesting. But it's kind of like,
Speaker 1: you know, like you remember all those old wrestling posters
Speaker 1: when you were a kid, or maybe boxing where they
Speaker 1: have like the big Marquee matchup and they have like
Speaker 1: a big phrase on the bottom makes you want to
Speaker 1: buy the pay per viewer for the Tallas Cowboys in
Speaker 1: philadelph Eagles. Mine would be who wants It? I'd be
Speaker 1: like right on the bottom it like who wants this thing? Hey?
Speaker 1: All the jokes aside Dallas. I thought that was a
Speaker 1: gut check moment for them last week. Big big win,
Speaker 1: Big win for the Cowboys and looked impressive doing it
Speaker 1: because kind of like the the New Orleans Saints thing
Speaker 1: that you were outlying as far lays of packers. If
Speaker 1: the how Boys lose that game to the Rams, doesn't
Speaker 1: really matter, Maybe not because you can come right back
Speaker 1: and be Philly. But man, good luck beating the Eagles.
Speaker 1: Just no matter how banged up they are, it's gonna
Speaker 1: be difficult to beat that team if you don't have
Speaker 1: something to feel good about. The Cowboys were able to
Speaker 1: do that. They handled it better than average Rams team
Speaker 1: at home. And here they are now going into Lincoln
Speaker 1: Financial and seeing if they can hold onto this this division. Yeah,
Speaker 1: the Cowboys can clinch the division with a win. If
Speaker 1: they lose, then the division comes down to Week seventeen
Speaker 1: and the Cowboys and Eagles are playing the Giants and
Speaker 1: the Reds. I'm not sure who has whom but Carson
Speaker 1: Wentz though, I gotta give it up to Carson Wentz.
Speaker 1: He's sometimes We talked about two thousand and fifteen with
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers with how banged up everything God, and it
Speaker 1: was like, Okay, the offense just had to be Aaron
Speaker 1: Rodgers and making it work with all these pieces. That's
Speaker 1: where Carson Wentz is at right now. Last week throwing
Speaker 1: for three or thirty some yards or whatever it was
Speaker 1: without having really any of his starting receivers and being
Speaker 1: down all that person way deep in their depth chart
Speaker 1: at the skill position he is holding them in this
Speaker 1: playoff run here to try and you know, make something
Speaker 1: out of what has been a really you know season
Speaker 1: full of a lot of adverse. Yeah. I think it
Speaker 1: could be a really interesting atmosphere at Lincoln Financial and
Speaker 1: Philadelphia with the Cowboys coming to town on what's at stake,
Speaker 1: But it should be a fun weekend of football heading
Speaker 1: into the big show down Monday Night. With that, we
Speaker 1: will call it a wrap on this edition and this
Speaker 1: week of Packers Unscripted. Be sure to follow all of
