After last week’s loss against the Rams, the rules were simple for the Vikings. Win the rest of the matches and hope to qualify for the playoffs.

On the other hand, Aaron Rodgers continued his fine form for the Packers. The superstar quarterback not only threw for 288 yards but he also scored two TDs.

Skip Bayless claims Aaron Rodgers’ performance against Vikings is not special; has strong players around him
Despite having a terrific game against the Vikings, Skip Bayless argued that Rodgers‘ performance was ordinary. The TV journalist argued that Rodgers’ performance looks good thanks to the quality that he is surrounded by. As per Bayless, having Davante Adams coupled with Cousins’ COVID positive helped Rodgers play well against the Vikings.
“Poor Aaron Rodgers just can’t get a break,” said the TV journalist. “He has the most uncoverable receiver in the NFL, a top-five rushing attack … AND unvaccinated Kirk Cousins is missing this game with COVID.”
