The Minnesota Vikings dropped another one. This time to the Green Bay Packers while marking their seventh loss of the season. JJ McCarthy had a rough outing, completing just 12 of 19 passes for 87 yards, failing to score, throwing two interceptions, and getting sacked five times.

“I think you can. I do believe that,” the Vikings head coach said after the game. “It does require as a football team not doing things that loses games.

And I think there’s a needle to thread there.”
