Stat of the Week


The Packers and Vikings rank third and fourth in the NFL with defensive interception rates of 3.10 and 3.05, respectively.


Minnesota’s stats were padded a bit by seven takeaways – which included three interceptions – at Los Angeles, but both NFC North teams have been effective at creating turnovers this season.


The Vikings have at least one interception in each of the 10 games they’ve won this season. They have only one across their four losses, a pick of Russell Wilson by Anthony Harris in Week 13.


Intercepting Aaron Rodgers, however, isn’t an easy task. He’s thrown just two picks this season – one in a loss to Philadelphia in Week 4 and another in a win over Detroit in Week 6.


“[Aaron] Rodgers does a great job with it,” Zimmer said. “They do a great job of protecting the football. We’re going to have to do the same thing.”
