Minnesota @ Green Bay

you [Music] intelligent quarters but a fact artifact on the frozen [Music] Lamport go down the side [Music] just when it looked like a drip was going under the Vikings come sailing into Green Bay winners of two straight and battling to stay afloat in the NSC North it was a painful forgettable first half of the season for the Packers but after last week's upset win in Atlanta Brett Favre tries to keep it a rolling tonight [Music] Oh [Applause] [Music] and a quarterback from Southern Mississippi number four threat and that's an introduction that's only being made for the 215 consecutive times in a regular season game as Brett Favre and the Green Bay Packers come out onto the field ready to host the Minnesota Vikings on Monday Night Football Al Michaels along with John Madden and Sam Ryan welcome to Lambeau Field in Green Bay strange times in this town the Packers haven't had a losing season since 1991 Brett Favre got here in 1992 some really very tough early season losses and a ton of injuries and they are 2 and 7 but hope to build on that upset win at Atlanta last week meanwhile the Vikings have made most of their headlines this season with they're off the field shenanigans on the field they started one in four but they've won three of the last four despite losing Dante Culpepper to a knee injury for the season the new quarterback is Brad Johnson and if they can win tonight they will at least keep Chicago in their sights in the NFC North John let's talk about the quarterback situation Culpepper gone Brad Johnson 14th year in the league won the Super Bowl with Tampa Bay three years ago but what difference does that make to this team now well you know Brad Johnson is totally different from Dante Culpepper Dante Culpepper has a strong arm it's real a lot of deep passes he could run with the ball Brad Johnson doesn't do these things you know he manages the game is a short passer he makes good decisions he doesn't throw interceptions but having said that I think they need what they had last week he needs help from his defense and help from a special team he's a little older about a year older than Brett Favre garbage in uncharted territory he's always playing for something in November up until now so how does farm in the Packers analyst you know I was talking to about the other day and he said it's just a challenge oh this is a different type of thing you look at Brett Favre and you want to say you know what's wrong there two and seven foot four own with Brett there's nothing wrong with Brett Farr I mean he still moves like yogurt he still has the same velocity and maybe the biggest thing he has the same enthusiasm and he said he loves a challenge he said that win last week against Atlanta was a big one for him he really enjoyed that and some of his most memorable performances have come against the Minnesota Vikings the renewal of a great rivalry these two teams have been facing each other since 1961 ready from Monday Night Football now the McDonald's quarterback comparison Brad Johnson is in the second sprint is a Minnesota Viking following Stockton Washington and Tampa Bay now in his 14th season he's to know this year as a starter it's been an uncharacteristically on the even performance decision for the Packers Brett Favre he has 16 touchdown passes but his 15 interceptions are most in the league because doc tab will provide the most compelling years ago no wonder the camera can it's like a return of former Packer Pro Bowl safety Darren Sharper making his first Lambeau appearance as a Minnesota Vikings and he's miked up for Monday night oh I'm going to need a car if you doing it longer fail yeah I got it we're walking out of that all right this I know it is it is awful it is exciting I always feel lucky loves like mix it isn't blend looks like temperature in the low 30s it'll go down just under freezing by the end of the game but no precipitation Lambeau Field in Green Bay these two teams meeting and in the NFC North the Chicago Bears beating Carolina yesterday 7 and 3 the Vikings can go to 5 and 5 otherwise the Bears are going to have a three game lead over Minnesota and Detroit Green Bay a two and seven Green Bay to kickoff and Ryan long well descended skyward for the Green Bay Packers the crowd rises as one Corps in Robinson ran back a kick for a touchdown last week as the Vikings shocked the New York and thanks the spectral team and a one-hopper is filled that is a nine and the next Ewok things it back up to the 29 yard line he cycled there by Michael Montgomery here is the Viking offense Brad Johnson Florida State he will be war Greenway Jermaine Wiggins East Boston Cubs to Florida Mark Robinson University of South Carolina Jim Kleinsasser North Dakota Brian McKinney the use kanuda loyal girl social deformity from the Brooks girl Corey with Roe Washington today Adam Goldberg University of Wyoming Mike Rosenthal Notre Dame you heard the welding more say Green Wave he like a school of the Tulane he just started running back tonight and he gets it first carry of the night is a two-yard pickup to the 31 yard line Colin Jenkins makes the hit here's the green baby [Applause] Erin gentlemen I'm Grady Jackson Knoxville College Colin Jenkins Central Michigan Kabir by to be another San Diego State denial did the I'll say University Nick Gordon Georgia State Paris man with more care arts of Mark Levin state member nickhawthorne College I have am King to the Collins a rookie who started every game remember Darren Sharper traded the Minnesota actually beginning with the Vikings and the second carry of the night belongs to Moe LD Maurice stop there by calling Jenkins it'll be third down and the Vikings are trying to run with power because what they do is they put flying saucer back there at fullback and then any time he used to pull back on a running down he is going to lead the play so you get a 270 pound leap Florida he comes out to mean Livingston Jenny we can say the big cast lasted for Phillip again what he feared Oh Vikings last week on the ground against the Giants averaged less than a yard for Perry Johnson ominous chessani's they step up he's going to run for the first time and get it back to 13 and slide slow hole at midfield so Brandon Johnson taking off Johnson started his career with the Vikings then went to Washington on a Super Bowl in Tampa Bay and now back in Minnesota I was just saying one thing that Brad Johnson doesn't do like Dante Culpepper is run with a ball but if he steps up and you give him a lane like this and he can see all the way down field about 20 yards before he sees a green jersey I'll guarantee you he's going to run with him succeed our game here in a struggle cost below we'll take it to the 45-yard line last week Minnesota had only 12 yards rushing in the entire game Mike I slipped on is his special teams with a kickoff return and upon return and Darren Sharper interception wanted you know this Brad Johnson's wearing gloves and I was never sure about that thing you know if that's something that you want to quarterback to do or be I've always felt if you're going to good in the game you better do it and practice it all week good night to do it decadent bond and that cross is taught as Jermaine Wiggins is there to make the catch points off who is also out in the neighborhood and so Jermaine Wiggins always seems to be in the right place at the right time somehow someway makes the grab first down and you don't know Brad Johnson was really thrown it to Wiggins or not you're going to see he has good pass protection here because he was able to take the ball up bring it down bring it back up again and get it out there to Jermaine Wiggins but it was just over the head of climb softly both of them being in the same area means that one of them wasn't supposed to be there the first year for the laughing without Randy Moss created to Oakland in the offseason pump bacon images the implement forward there is no whistle yet and for the moment it is the beer find out P and wheeler who was able to get what would be a sack forcing the fumble and is recovered by Brian McKinney for Minnesota at the 41 yard line he did watch West number 74 Kampmann here he's getting a big push on this side as Brad Johnson pumps then he goes to step up kabir Bahji man billy gets him from behind but revealed over here now he gets a pup he gets inside McKinney and he just hits him just as that ball was coming down was exact and a fumble by McKinney recovery Johnson who didn't play at all in the shotgun in Tampa but as a success puts you out of it and again he goes for Lincoln to take the ball to the 31 yard line where will be third down at about six Nick Collins the rookie safety makes the hit and that was one of the things that Brad Johnson liked you know he's sitting down there at pampered Jon Gruden didn't like nor use a shotgun and it was something that he was always lobbying to get in and and he always has well wherever he's been he's felt very comfortable in the shotgun and you can see I think he's that kind of a guy a lot of fixed fee and he is better when he's back in the pocket giving the ball didn't go a single pass from the gun in four years with the fight third down and six five and a rock and he left out of the line of scrimmage that's pulling thinking knocking it down will be fourth down did it mark Roman is coming on a blitz - he's number 20s right down here at the end of the line and so you get the pressure you see they have the Blitz they have an overload from the right side and then the ball gets batted down over here by Jacobs on the other side but they overloaded that right side Jenkins was just kind of on the line of scrimmage and that was why he was able to back the ball down this would be a 49 yard attempt with all Ettinger he's 48 yard to won the game last week at Giants Stadium that doesn't get there Edgar who feats the Packers earlier this season with a 56 yarders Minnesota is short farm in the Packers habit when we come back Monday Night Football from Green Bay is being brought to you by Bud Light smooth and refreshing Bud Light great days great time Domino's the delivery experts get the door at Domino's and Nissan inviting you to drift away you move through the world cold and cloudy in Green Bay where the aerial coverage tonight is being brought to you by Budweiser their Brett Favre was telling me the other day he was lobbying for the first play of the game to be a deep pass we'll see if his Lobby won I see so good night hat to draw and this is Santa got on what authority he is with the detail shortly as the native of Nigeria picks up five stopped by shopper here's the Green Bay offense red bar the University subnets Samton Gatto Liberty University William Henderson North Carolina Robert Verdi tick van dollar Java all phone estate bubble pranks new chat Clifton Tennessee Scott Wells Tennessee Mike wagon UCLA William would occur Michigan State mark Tauscher Wisconsin Whittaker rookie wills a second-year guy Brett Favre now on second down and close the current fifties Ben Affleck effect again with a rib injury i the baculum quad that's the symbol so Brett conifer news he began to stumble and Erasmus jeans number one draft choice one of two in the first round of rookie out of the University of Wisconsin will get the side you know and then the Vikings just knew that and they just take off because they had four wide receivers and then the back goes in motion so there's no one in the backfield so they know okay we have no run here so let's run as fun and that's exactly what Erasmus James did if that's easier to do when there's when there's four wide receivers one back to the one back goes in motion you only have one thing right there to 15 for with this snap out of the trap game or man Washington Fisher was able to run gained it but he can only get into the 45 yard line so it'll be a three amount start for the Green Bay Packers with a chance to go in the first quarter and in comes the punting unit it was interesting to see how the Packers are trying to start because both on second down and ferb down there they had a four wide receiver packaging he was a Santa John third-round pick last year just then one of the reasons of pret part one was proteins he can throw mostly short passes this year surprise he lost the set battle the way they knew pump back for a touchdown against the Giants West we picked this tip from sander back to the 24 yard line Johnson and the Vikings happened for the second time eight minutes left of the period those scored Lambo [Music] Samiha phono t-64 and 386 started the season with the Chargers Brett came over to Minnesota and Mike thank you trying to find that light combination up front so he gets the start tonight and left all 42 different farmers to the bottom before any hours on the house on or below the water that's taken all Nicole Nicole that we're gaining of a couple when Finnerty came from the San Diego Chargers as Minnesota Vikings he weighed over 400 pounds and they were you know they feel pretty good about him now getting down to 386 and figured he's on his way to being ready to play it mike tyson's talking about the change that he wanted to make and it's much of it's as much about attitude as anything else whether he needed to accomplish his offensive line especially after last week we average less than a yard for Kerry Expo welding ward he stopped here by gravy Jackson mice Isis took over for Dennis green at the end of the 2001 season are you talking about big guys watch grady jackson here's here's a run stopper inside you see he just takes on the guard plays off the tackle comes right down the line of scrimmage and collapses anything in his way there is what we call a run stopper Pavoni against Jackson tonight except for that assume only third down and six Johnson and that pass is incomplete - hi intended for Troy Williamson one of their two first-round pick he was the seventh overall pick in the draft last year out of South Carolina and Cullen jenkins hit Brad Johnson just as he threw that and he couldn't he couldn't step up and get anything on it and that's why the ball took off and sailed on or BAM the putter is Chris Kluwe 46.3 is a great avid and in tell me what Chapman explorer handed one [Applause] we'll run it back [Applause] 31 yard line to get around the corner inside and turns what would have been a negative run back into about a 10 yard run back breaking out of the face on tackle and Senegal up near midfield 41 yard kick in the 9-yard run back there is a sudden star in Green Bay after last week and his name is Sam Conn Gatto native of Nigeria here in the US and he was mine what the Purdue University in Virginia and he is there and that was dollars for 3 cents times last week in Atlanta so you look at Green Bay I'm on green what happened to him quadricep injury was done for the season his backup Nagi Davenport done for the season Tony Fisher came in he had a rib injury and that paved the way for them to get gato off the Kansas City practice squad put him on the Green Bay practice squad he gets the start last week three touchdowns talking to Brett Favre about the other day and he said that's kind of what our season have been like saying here we are caught that pin on gotta after a period of seven second down and nine fake Pagano barb is going to stop and come back and buy time and that is pinky far a legend in the making CJ Anderson the linebacker running with him pretty good coverage he makes the catch hangs on to it 30-yard game you know every defensive player knows that you have to plaster when you play against Brett Favre every offensive player knows that no matter what you're doing he faked to God oh and the guy who just kept going down the sideline every offensive player is alive when Brett Favre as a quarterback Sam towns gado-gado learn that purpose first time Green Bay at the 30-yard line and again when you think about negative time period to take about four guys that Malcolm batted he still was able to fly forward and pick up three you think about Christian turquoise from years past with Jamie City let's check in with Sam Ryan sorry Sam fine actually told me when he first came over he didn't understand football he thought the shape of the ball was fun he didn't know why they call this football and used to pen but he walked learned a lot from watching Christian Okoye with the sheep running back he said the only Nigerians he knew in the States his family and Christian Okoye he didn't know him personally but on Sundays it was Perlman TV they were watching he said quote it was cool from sander Stan thank you second down and seven one day he learned is to keep his legs driving look through that on that last play education and it for Bentley jumped off and that's going to be a first down at the ball applause by Donald Lee one of the three Green Bay tight ends it's a gain of eight who's the James first down inside the 20 they're in the red zone that's why why Brett farm needs a running game so much you know over the years a Packers offended turned to a running team and then once they got that running game going with them on grain ok Davenport then and then they could go to quite action passing the bootleg now he gets a little from San Fran got oh and he gave it to one a couple of bootleg passed right after he gets a couple [Applause] [Music] Donal can't go down the bascule it was the Buffalo Bill plays al and take your throne the defensive coordinator cutting now the defensive coordinator with Minnesota there is control Pat Williams right there to stop in the backfield you know Ted Cottrell was talking about Pat Williams last night and he said his nickname has not come back knock him back Pat because he just takes any offensive lineman and knocks him right into the backfield that time I don't think anyone blocked him though untouched knocks Donald a philosophize the first to tackle Kevin Williams a very disruptive in fires safe for Lee has it and he's slipped a couple of tackles and takes it to the 15-yard line or it'll be third down and six with on the permanent deployment rapidly paced first quarter the Packers have a a lot of packages and one is two tight ends and the two tight ends are David Martin Donnelly not bubble Frank now they get out of that now buffer Franks comes on you would think anytime I am with brother Frank would be one of the tight end he is not in the package tonight he's a guy who normally though food inside of the Tenderloin 4006 far to the outside we're going to flag into caught by driver for the foot south assuming it's not offensive interference Green Bay will be on the board Robert the pole notwithstanding with the Lambeau leap and if there's one wide receiver that Brett Favre has confidence in right now it's Donald Driver bull fantasy legal contact number 41 defense a federally is decline first down Donald Driver a wheel coming at lead here for him sucks down Green Bay is Donald Driver right there and you see it's a it's a cover two down there most most people that close to the goal line don't use a cover to and that's where the corner comes up and the safety comes over and he gets by the corner and he gets the ball before the safety gets over there Brian destroyed after Green Bay lost the convoy active on Walker early in the season so driver has stepped up its 131 walls coming into the game and one here from far for a touchdown seven to nothing Packers Farr was perfect on the drive you had the 30 yard pass to Gatto and then drive or the 15 yard touchdown reception and Brett Favre is called the 390 third touchdown pass of his career only Dan Marino has war at four-twenty someone had a dream or a premonition did they yeah Brett Favre Donald Driver on the horse trailer who would have thought good stuff whoa whoa either with the film you are gone by touring the lobby that's a nice little work by Anderson to get in amongst three Vikings and make the tackle to 11 to go in the opening period here's our top seven another next week we will be in Indianapolis the culture on beat their 10 and oh and they go to 11 against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Monday Night Football ESPN Sunday Saints get Brad Johnson and the Vikings at the coin through yard line first down soccer's gonna make the tag when we pick up a first down one thing about Brett Favre we know he does never saw harm no and he can drill the ball you see here's Corey Chavis here here's Donald Driver and you're going to see a rotation up here now watch the hole that he's going to have to drill this ball in see the corner comes up and rotate that will you stop it right here here's Donald Driver this is what Brett Favre sees he has to drill it right between these two guys and he doesn't you throw almost Roger over the middle goes the welding more to the 39 how fast was that pass you asked the answer is with a lot of fanfare so xp6 which they tell me is the equivalent of the baseball traveling ninety eight and in this poll whether imagine what that was like for our driver to tell ya but it just thought maybe jacket inside and this is Laura going through the middle again and will be third that in about three Paris Lenin in a Mustapha less than a minute to play in the opening quarter grace Jackson is doing a good job inside there he and Colin Jenkins because Brad Johnson was saying last night that to get a rhythm offensively we have to be able to run the ball and you know it's not all about just getting a rhythm passing but you have to be able to get bigger chunks of yardage in a running game three with this offense is going to get in any kind of rhythm third down and three right and he looks for Williamson the South Carolina rookie he makes the catch that will be a first down and that's going to take us to the end of the opening quarter that's their speed guide their number one draft choice they lose Randy Moss they pick up Cory Williamson into the first quarter Green Bay 7 Minnesota nothing and Monday Night Football continues after this message in a word from our ABC station Lambeau Field in Green Bay Wisconsin as we start the second quarter Al Michaels John Madden and Sam Ryan William Monday Night Football in Green Bay to wrap up the 11th week of the season Packers are top seven to nothing Green Bay has their defensive unit right now with the Minnesota Vikings at the 45 yard line first and 10 Greg done through the deep front and time and going down the right time it's picked off the 29 yard line by the rookie Nick Allen the turnover there and Green Bay gets the ball right back dancing throwing his first thick of the season and his third week as the starter and Nick Collins the rookie out of a thin Cookman second round draft choice for the interception Brad Johnson read back here's my well we more right here and he thought he had man-to-man coverage on the linebacker which he did he throws it a little short and lets that safety get over there you have that free safety just sitting back there reading so he doesn't always have to go with a wide receiver you try and get a running back deep and that safety can make that clean move so fair and effective for coming underneath the catch is made by Robert Ferguson who's missed some time of late with a knee injury came back and then a fry they hurt himself in practice to the point where it looked like he might be done again but he was able to come back on Saturday looked a lot better and was in the starting lineup tonight and when I watched him in practice the other day is that there's no way that this guy can play and then he got better the next day and you said they were going to try them out before practice to make they didn't even do that so they had to feel pretty good about that apparently can't get out of the backfield however Ferguson is battle gets tackled by Howard he's gotten hurt in the first game this season between these two teams at the Metrodome on October 23rd the Packers had a 17 to nothing lead at the half and the Vikings won the game 23:20 on an integer 56 yard field goal at the end the fact our defense has improved this year but Jim Bates our defensive coordinator said that was one of the worst pads of defense you've ever played earlier paid on clip 20 pictures today [Applause] or the fact that pass is incomplete for behind antonio chapman so the packers cannot capitalize on the interception goes three and out no pun it away that's the thing when you have new players all around you and you have different wide receivers and you try and go go three and then you go four wide receivers you're just really getting into depth and then you're throwing to a lot of guys that you haven't had a lot of practice with standard a kick feel this to the 27 yard line belonging nor war brings it back up through the 32-yard line 13:23 remaining in the opening half seven to nothing packard here is Iggy wolf who bought the team this spring and his brother younger brother Mark who's the president of the team will sir here tonight they took over for red McCombs bought the team hope to get a new state in got a crazy offseason for the Vikings in the talen or a second but the wolves are committed to getting everything back in order here the try to do the best they can it's a pretty extraordinary circumstances more picks up too if you take a look at what's been going on with the Vikings you go back to the Train of Randy Moss for the Raiders on March surge so they get rid of moss after 70 years and we'll comes in and he buys the team for about six million dollars Onterrio Smith third violation of the substance abuse policy gone for the year Mike nice Scouts Super Bowl tickets and the NFL kind of $100,000 then of course you have the Love Boat situation the ongoing police investigation as to what took place in October Paul pepper is gone for the season carrying three ligaments and they hope he can play at the beginning of next season apart from that not a lot happened around many afters on second down and eight here is a flag is flown and Johnson has taken down at the 32 yard line wool vanishes food has not been particularly 50 tonight and we were second leg of the game and the other was declined of the penalty coming for legal contact on the touchdown [Applause] Mike Tyson tight end is a player for a lot of years played in over 170 NFL games never had a knee injury and got one last week in the giant game fact he's wearing a brace for the game tonight he's lucky he's still able to walk after the shot he took on the sidelines at the Meadowlands holy number 74 offense the penalty is declined it's turned out its Brian Burke any whom I said last night has been their best offensive lineman this season he is and he has a tough job tonight the blocking Kebir bodger be amela because anytime you have a speed rusher if you don't get up if you don't see him on the snap then the next thing you do is your feet get in bad position and then you have to grab or halt this is a pretty good matchup right here you can see McKinney three points then he is ready to go the past possession third and nine of a shotgun with any liking man office on the other side Aaron Pittman comes in and forces the issue and the past he's been completed you know there's a pretty good player Aaron Kampmann you know you you always think of odd to be Amell on the other side but this guy here has been a tackle they moved him in and he's a very solid player I mean he makes a good pass rush here he just he just starts up gets his right hand on Rosenthal just pushes him by and then goes right underneath [Applause] Chris please the fun antonio Chapman [Applause] 25 yard line would fold my there so I floated part of the 26 and a five yard run back to the 31 yard line at slow minutes at two seconds remaining in the opening hand at venerable Lambeau Field Green Bay 7 Minnesota nothing Gregoire and the Green Bay Packers ready to hope the Minnesota Vikings on Monday Night Football and [Music] farmed the driver the only scoring thus far 15 yard touchdown pass Green Bay has it now Farva started the game six of his first seven was 76 yards and there is gentleman driver who brought some Packers last week and a touchdown to no longer blow that will be a draw game as he goes to the tight end Bubba Franks and tonight the X Packer now Viking Darren Sharper mic up hey there go get a long day another long day that is really to speak of a student and Gilman topper won an appeal at the kilometer and Racine I thought Toby does to UM clear I keep of it - all right here's a point baby needs a point sharper dressing in the visiting locker room for the first time the band here goes gato on second and short up to the 40 form John another case of salary constraints and all of the rest before the eight years here wanted Boyd in Green Bay was willing to offer and so he winds up staying in need division remember here towards the end of the season you know he had injuries he was banged up a little and they weren't sure how healthy was and and what they tried to do is cut his salary even less than he thought he was worth so then he said now I'll go look elsewhere and the Packers came back up a little he said it was too heavy and last week he had three interceptions against the Giants didn't wonder he ran back mammoth er for effect and got over the outside nothing there nothing at all he tackled back at the 40-yard line Jamie Mosley the first Kassadin have it that's one thing that gato is going to learn is that you as you can't get out there and stop if if they start to get penetration if they start to get up the field then you have to make your cut and if he sees out there the threat that you can't cut out you better just take it up the field give as much as you're happy the minute you stop it's going to be a wall second and working [Applause] 4minute run farther than trouble farm so goes down at the 37 yard line that's Lance Johnstone one time Reiter who sacks him back at the 37 yard line yep and he's there pass rusher from that side he's going to be on Chad Clifton here you see Lance Johnstone here he just starts up the field and then and then when he can't do anything there he decides that he'll just go inside he started up tried to get to the outside couldn't so he just changed his mind and escaped and went back inside after you have to do it a pass rusher it's always your hands and your feet always have to be written all the way to the quarterback they're found 17 on the 37 drivers which was going to get bumped out of bounds by Devante Edwards forcing another Green Bay punt the other interesting thing that Darren Sharper said when he was in free agency and looking for a place to go he said after having played with Green Bay and Brett Favre he said he wanted to go to a team that that had a franchise quarterback and probably in this league if you're going to win and you'll get into playoffs and you'll have a chance to go to a Super Bowl you better be with a franchise quarter and he certainly was with daunte culpepper Sanders Tech is a line drive field it on a run by Moore when he takes it back out to the 30 yard line so Johnston the Vikings try to get something started not always remaining in the half step it up the Greenberg put a game next Monday night the Pittsburgh Steelers go to Indianapolis the folks try to stay undefeated go all ends in the Jets Sunday Night Football on ESPN Minnesota at the 30-yard line - me first in there I like it back there's the first activate a flag Bennet will pick up seven yards here you had my welding war of the game the entire weight of this club only group number 75 offense in your family still out he's enacted penalty right here will be on Mike Rosenthal you know one of the things I think about the Minnesota Vikings and the reason that that they don't have a good running in is they don't have very big line splits I mean their linemen are so tight that there's very few holes that you make with the defense in their alignment and if you look at the Packers they have pretty good line split and and when you don't have good line foot then you better be running outside and that's exactly what happened on that last play the whole line Rosenthal make the first time in 24 the 20 yard line Stanton playing a flank before at sea walk up to the 31-yard let's go to Sam Ryan well this is the 77 page code of conduct we've heard so much about handed out to the Minnesota Viking players back on Saturday so it does discuss gambling it discusses alcohol smoking also dress code but it also discusses work schedule pay attendance the Vikings tell me this is more of an employee handbook that's owners digging both before the game he said every employee got this not just the players and this is not in response to any off seal incident he did tell me that this is something he want to consent that won't come out the game is to the players of the staff on Saturday as the screen is set up and war is able to pick up a first down so on two plays they Kearney first and 20 in moving the change that was an interesting call because what they did is they went bunch right that three receivers over here to the right then they threw that screen pass back to the left then you get an overload on the defense to this side and then you go back to the other side with the screen it's like a Bennett who has come into the game for the first time and he is that's about to go to my world a war who wish last week as a warning the correct he picked up a first time here more rainy punt back for a touchdown last week but his wrist was so bad they couldn't use them out of the backfield again you know we talked about those live splits and you see how tight they are that there's not going to be many inside holes on man blocking but since there aren't inside holes then you can come up pack everything to the inside and then bounce it to the outside maybe what more does right there I'm just going to say with these line splits they'll have a very difficult time running inside from the 45 yard on this point right there and it's non effective you can see it here as Poland goal is right here to stop milolii Moore has carried the ball nine times now for 33 yards so Cole is one of those guys that has really impressed impressed this Packer coaching staff you know when you talk about you know who's played well who's who's good on defense they really like this guy played at university of iowa with our in the philip is a free-agent laughs year spelled rated Jackson a lot second down and ten now six furnace to the other hand at the globe a 45 year old and then he goes of a parent and the parent team and getting in there all night long and John makes him before you think so much about KGB on one side you forget about this guy he's just beating Mike Rosenthal the the right tackle out there but Cole gets a good push in the middle - you're going to see Kampmann out here Cole up here watch the push in the middle here comes camping from the outside and you see the push in the middle cold just took his guy he's just going to take his guy and he's just in this for no tea and he's just going to push him right into Brad Johnson now that is a bulk pass rush by a defensive tackle third sack of Johnson tonight they'll take a timeout prior to a third and 18 John years ago you created a monster so it's Thanksgiving our third that you knew sneaking turducken up there there it is production and Bronx and brought Thanksgiving a Green Bay happy Thanksgiving to everyone big create a monster can get away from dollar step back from our friend when at the gourmet butcher block in Berlin somehow he was able to defer the Priya cannot the other side and sends it up here we thank and that pass he's getting complete first not intended for Troy william city was third down and eighteen on that pass so after the sign of a scuffle Colin Jenkins and Marcus Johnson to the principal but you talk about a defensive guy who can raise havoc if this guy right here Kabir bhaji be amela then you see him on McKinney and he just he's just too fast for her agent gets me outside and he's always going to be around there but you can't step up and you better get rid of the ball or he's going to take away from this series going to partner fumble a statment back to receiver to make the pack and is able to hang on to it is the experimental Ralph Brown is right there to make sure it out of his tracks at the 16 yard line I'm talking about Green Bay in the rushing game we could take a look there over the past two years with Ahman Green as their primary ball carrier very productive on the ground but this year Green hurt I've examined for her Fisheries mr. Tom battle team ended a nice job at inadequate so under seventy six yards per game he's going to Brett Farve imported as I appreciate that alignment in the receivers that he really appreciate the laundry folding it to the lead in Washington is God will fix up a couple gato right now has carried the bull eight times four eight yards because you know when you can run the ball that opens up so many things for you you know it's not just running because that's not the way you score a lot of touchdowns but you run and then they have to stop the run so they bring that eight man down and then you can play action pass when you can bootleg then you can give them beat I mean you can keep them off balance you can do all those things once you get your running game whoops bonofiglio command over the Henderson pull back touch up a first down move the chain to the 26-yard line we go to sand you're talking about Ahman Green Allen's on he says the long road ahead of him after suffering a torn a right quadriceps tendon had surgery last month now I spoke with him late last week he told me he's healing but slowly was given a timetable of ten to eleven months of rehab right now he's working on grains of motion to walk without crutches with his wearing a brace he told me the next step had the brace of the move that'll be another month or so when we open let's wait so until four to five mark out where major injury at him before stopping epic we really have we have ahead of him as God will go to the outside and is taken down after a gain of one this crap this is a Milwaukee crowd the Green Bay Packers have remember he used to play a couple games every year in Milwaukee and then they they play them all here in Lambeau but the Milwaukee fans still have two of the games and this is one of the Milwaukee fans you know there is some duplication but for the most part you got a lot of people who made the trek from southern Wisconsin we were going Darren Sharper in the end of the last play of the second diamond to the outside and then he posionous flopped and Votto started to look away at first and that he pays the price in addiction at the end of it yeah we feel it it Edward I'm sorry al but he shouldn't had to pay the price for that that's a that's a cheap shot I mean New York if he had been a wide receiver in the open field there would have been five flags out on that play I mean the ball was out there I know he's a rookie he's a young guy as a free agent all is they he drops a ball to play is over now that you can't do that and these Milwaukee fans know that that's why they're booing and they're right that's the cheap we filled that awaited it the lack of bean paste take a look at that how far they've been a third and one intellect the first time where a two-thirds of the class recordings summit was the last year as Donald Driver gets upended Antoine Winfield and wind they will punt you know an ant Ron Winfield is a good player I mean he's a tough guy he's a good hitter he's a good Blitzer he's all those things but you know after guys dropped her ball don't have to do that but that third down play was a good play and only one accepted penalty in the game like a hold on Rosenthal of Minnesota look at its standard a punt [Music] the loading door for the 26 yard line the bra will run back 18-yard run back up to the 44 we're talking to Mike Tyson if the question was posed what's been the best part of your team if you take a look at this they are there are 32 teams in the league in none of those categories are they higher than 21st so Tice pauses and he says well we've been inconsistent well the reality is they've been consistent but they've been consistently baloney the offering every category on both sides of the ball and you can just see tonight offensively they can't get anything going I think they're playing pretty well defensively Holloman you look at last only to see Jermaine Wiggins and that is incomplete and so funny we come in John to to Green Bay the Packers and the Vikings I mean so many years are fighting for the division title now all of a sudden how about the Chicago Bears I think the Bears were really impressive I mean levy Smith has done a great job there and and they got back to defense over that's what Chicago is all about that's what the Bears were all about they have strong defenses if they impresses me is they can get there with four pass rushers they say they can use all the coverage that you have to have seven insane this is Wiggins to the 50 yard line and if the Chicago Bears needed a validation test and there is Jim McMahon who played very briefly with the Packers but of course made his mark with the Chicago Bears leading him to the Super Bowl Thailand the Mike Ditka you know he was a fun guy I mean he was a fun guy to watch play and and to talk to and he enjoyed the game he also played here in Green Bay but you know that 1985 Bears came I think was one of the best teams that I ever saw and for one of the the best season for the NFL that I can remember and accepted the line of scrimmage and incomplete Grady Jackson got a hand on it started to say about the Bears done a lot of people doubting them a little skeptical not after yesterday they beat Carolina Maryland Oh his favourite Carolina was hot in Chicago came to the tomb at Soldier Field yeah and they're in a division with the teams that you thought were going to win the division are these two and you can see that they're not a division winning type team so you know Chicago has a lot going for Louie the punt at the 11th the line team that's going to stop the clock we took shy of the two-minute warning of Richard Owens makes the tackle you know talking about Green Bay in Minnesota again there was a lot of similarities in that and that they both were lost guys in the offseason I mean it was Randy boss and you know on one side it was the two guards in the Green Bay team and then they both had injuries we talked about the running back injuries attackers and then the Vikings loose Culpepper and and they just don't replace them and then a reason free agency and and they don't get better players to come in and the players they're left for the reason driven by a few seventh about into four and five scream the being the one to the 20-yard line and it takes us to the two-minute warning with a minute and 56 seconds remaining an opening am Green Bay 7 Venice Lexa's halftime show coming up shortly Donna McNabb injury update Tim McGraw will have week 11 highlights a minute with Jimmy Kimmel can help our Alexis that time show from the 19 yard line and it will the Tony picture that was a second and nine play it will be third down and three up the 25-yard line they will all of its timeouts and you think they'd start to hurry up a little here I mean one day if you get a first down you want to hurry up if you don't get a first down then you and the hope that you hadn't hurried up in this situation I mean the Oxford the proper get the first time should be pretty good a day at the 25-yard and the odds are very good because captain makes the catch up to the 40-yard line now they can start thinking about the clock they have all of their timeouts that's a 15-yard game and a timeout taken right here by Green Bay Monday Night Football being brought to you by Southwest Airlines response from the NFL official airline of Super Bowl xlviii light smooth and refreshing Bud Light great taste great times citizen watchers citizen echo drive unstoppable and GMC trucks and SUVs we are professional grade John 24 hours a day seven days a week what are they do is make a crowd that they our crowd there it is you know what I wondered going that one shot glass here guys the end the minute with a pitchfork I'd arrived with who saw that a couple of years ago the guy wasn't standing in it anymore I know if he was I thought a guy with the pitchfork though Oh a little replay that so you understand it good thing to think about where you have your friend from the 39 yard line and that is pick off the boss a any worse pick it off and debacle is inside to Stan and he somersaults into the end zone he is a rookie at a North Carolina State a free agent reading a story about him this week he says I'm dreaming about this they get to play against Brett Favre it's Monday Night Football what a chance to make a name for yourself that's a green come through right there right and you say how is Devante Edwards in there he's number 36 he's the dinery cornerback he makes a pretty good move on that he goes back goes back Reese Brett Favre gets a pretty good jump on it wonder if he was down by contact where he got up there the last two minutes is no challenge it has to come from upstairs and has to jump on the replay official and with walking swimming or sideline they're going to review it I think Brett Favre has more interceptions on that position on the field the right sideline than anyplace else but if you did a statistic on that you would find that he has a high percentage of interceptions over there Andre Thurmond was the intended receiver so he makes the interception the question is is he contacted at all once he has possession of the ball close I would say no very close [Music] [Applause] all right we've been looking at this is a very interesting play here you're going to see Edwards come up with the interception clearly makes a great play to keep it from hitting the ground now if Thurmond touches them he may get the towel if he gets anything Mimi you see the hand warmer and the towel the towel does not count as part of the body so if he just got the towel that is not down by contact if he gets a part of his bunny part of his body in a literal sense that would be down by contact but it appears that he just gets the towel and again they have to see enough to overturn the initial call which was an interception and knock down by contact [Applause] and if Minnesota is allowed to keep the tux down that would be four touchdowns on returns in the Alaskan cannot face the ruling on the fail fan John minnesota's found the answer they have no offense but you run back upon your run back a kick off you run back a couple of interceptions and that's four touchdowns in the last six quarter field I think that's the thing that they learn that you know that it's not only offense where you can score touchdowns you can score on defense and use foreign specialties that's the way they beat the Giants and that's what I said earlier I don't think their offense is going to beat the Packers tonight but that doesn't mean they can't win because they can score on defense and they can score on special teams all edited to trying to tie it again 51 yard interception return by the rookie Devon Tate Edwards with a minute for to go in the half 7 7 we see that headline many happy returns and that would have been for the Minnesota Vikings three of them last week this one here by Devante Edwards with Green Bay trying to move down the field for at least a field goal and take a lot of time off the clock unable to do that they leave themselves 64 seconds and two timeouts either Brett Favre knows that he forced that one in there and Brett Favre comes into this game leaving the league in interceptions another one right there so Brett Favre coming into the game had is 17th that's not bad if that is his 16 interception as a fever in candy the chard leaves will run it back to the 36 last week against the Giants what happened Manning threw that fast sharper picked it off 92 yard interception return 1 to 3 picks Forum and torn Robinson on the kickoff that began the second half when this one back 86 yards but well be more had this one straight up the gun 71 yards for a touchdown they've got the ball back at the end terrain Wiggins made a very big time for letting to tip the 40-yard field of them and that said [Music] little stuff on the news this year up to the 43 yard line the Vikings are going to let them have that stuff here for your series virtue no they're going to we're not going to let them get feet deep they're not going to let that have that middle range stuff but they're giving the underneath most attack them right there little underneath there Andre Thurmond just does have enough for a first down Green Bay's going to stop the clock again with 34 seconds so that much time and one timeout remaining for the Green Bay Packers Mike Sherman 60 you're here and then we take a look back at some of the key guys tonight what's gone on far with that one touchdown pass and then the interception returned for a touchdown Brad Johnson 69 yards and even sacked three times and Devante Edwards with the big play the rookie out of North Carolina State dreaming during the week about making a name for himself on the a football and he does say and I was in that was a good jump he got on that ball I mean he was just playing that dime corner and he's right about there saw the ball in the air and he can receiver for look some point hitch what progress you start pulling a little deeper in a while third thing that doesn't mean a lot of short stuff and actually the deeper the battle driver in fact it's a lot deeper Donald Driver over the middle I stood for 53 yards you spelled it well you know Brett Favre doesn't have a heck of a lot of patience before an interception he's been for short passes and you know at some point he just says patience I don't need patience I need touchdown I need big play so he goes and gets one so the ANA form upstairs saluting her man for two touchdown passes tonight both the Donald Driver and those are the only two passes caught by driver in the game you see this is this is what happens when you when you try and go for a shot watch Antoine Winfield he's right here and he's going to try and undercut that you see he saw driver come down instead of going for driver or staying over the top of Donald Driver he is going to undercut it so what he's doing he's taking a chance he's guessing he's playing to get the interception he didn't get it sound driver gets a touchdown [Applause] you can guess against Brett Farve but you better be right because if you're wrong he's going to burn you and Donald Driver for the second time in the game with a Lambeau leap and that 26 second remain of the Minnesota Vikings get the ball back what was he feel good about it though he was bumping himself in the chest he hit himself in the chest harder we met the first touchdown pass from Brett Favre route 98 miles an hour driver loves to work the middle he's caught 74 percent of his passes three-quarters of them between the numbers on the field I have presented to any wide receiver in the league regular wide receivers that Robinson is going to this one back and he just does get tripped as he started the 48 yard line there a pass away from setting up an integer field goal as Andre Thurmond thanks to tackle by the shoelace you say I did that that's when you know you have confidence in your speed when you could give it to light delay light and then you know just go burst on that I think I think the Minnesota Vikings have a new right tackle in there Marcus Johnson number 72 is in there they took like Rosenthal out even he's been having trouble over there or their encampment over on this side Johnson is a rookie at a Mississippi drafted in the second round then I can try to get him to forego rain that is caught by Pettit and it's going to swim to the last time and then it will go out of bounds of about the 42 yard line with 12 seconds and that will be a first down but that's not the issue I hear Johnson just trying to get him about 10 to 15 more yards right in the fact that the Vikings have two timeouts Brad Johnson knows he doesn't have to throw the ball outside they don't have to get it out of bound that they can complete a pass completed inside and came out for the 21st of November on in the history of the stadium restrictive or low injure had the leg and got given with the position that it makes the faculty packing of the food and they take an immediate timeout so now you have six seconds and now you're really Aaron you're in no-man's land here you see we're looking at about a more 58 yard field goal for my wife and that's going to be a little too much yeah that will happen on a nun yard pass yeah on a nun yard pass look at this I mean today is the 21st of November it's amazing to think there have been 63 games played in this stadium through the years November 21st or later only one field goal of more than 50 yards and it was spread cocky you think of Cox as big as a good kicker but not a guy who we kick a lot of real long field goals but he did that to the Vikings here in 1965 do you ever try and kick a bag of bolts it a lot of times these footballs just freeze them and they get awfully hard here in Green Bay like Mike Sherman very private area practice inside he keeps the football they're going to keep kick outside and brings him in they had a fast play and a fast timeout said Green Bay's gonna take the time out here the Packers have the time now to use the took a look at Minnesota was lined up we can reposition a defense bring in another group time I take it by Kerman now this is a thing like they do in basketball isn't it they line up then they take the timeout the other and this is interesting here the Green Bay Packers brought their whole defense over to the sideline usually when you take a timeout they stay over here but you look here's here's a Green Bay Packer defense right here of course here's the ball over here so the whole defense came to the sideline and they're you know you're talking to their defense coordinator Jim Bates [Applause] if a is an interest that clearly and three defensive linemen seven defensive back hey if somebody catches the ball in the middle of field he's got to go down right away to enable Minnesota to take a timeout and that can just go to the sideline and check that it's going to be incomplete intended for Marcus Robinson Ahmad Carroll covering in the play and they have two seconds remaining now Brad Johnson with two seconds just has one play he just has to throw it up into the end zone I mean there's no more get a completion and you know take a timeout or any of those things you just have one more playing you just throw it up and you hope to catch up you look to get a pass interference because the half we know can't an amount of defensive penalty or a defensive foul is there Beulah first a Queen Bey up by seven mike is going to step up and buy time and I was going to log them into the end zone [Applause] and incomplete advancing senator Travis Taylor factors back there Harris among those covering on the play that's the way the half will land they have injury updates and McGraw's Jimmy Kimmel coming up on the Lexus halftime show on halftime score Lambeau Field is Green Bay 14 Minnesota 7 and will return after this message for the National Football League and a word from our ABC station [Music] is all the rounds this great big world to see you do what they say you do well you asked it's an NFL world we're living [Music] a was not to make work would be football [Music] [Applause] what we call run jump and we're accessible I don't have that back in Green Bay where the Green Bay Packers lead 14 to 7 Green Bay 2 & 7 coming into the game Minnesota 4 and 5 and trying to keep Chicago within its sights in the NFC North and make it three straight wins before they go home to beat Cleveland in Minneapolis next week in Green Bay goes to Philadelphia pretty wild ending to the first half John well it was one of those things that you know that Brett Favre doesn't have a lot of confidence in a lot of his receivers but he doesn't Donald Driver make sure was tell us the other day that sometimes he won't go all the way through his progressions he'll go to one and then home to Donald Driver and I think that's what he did on that and that last touchdown just before they have he said ok enough for this we've had these short passes we've run those crosses let's get a deep one and I'm going to look for the guy I have the most confidence in Donald Driver fifty-three after 15 yard touchdown pass this kickoff is taken at the 8 yard line the faithful to Pendleton and we're sorry Lee to the 22 yard line and that's where they'll take over sharper is miked up tonight boy I know I can be a guy or better we all miss place yeah way to get some opportunities I guess I guess brings out they're going to folks how to dream ha ha ha well they're talking about Edwards and the story during the week of agreement about doing something big on Monday night and he did it in Fargo threw the touchdown and what first play here is a pass and it's the first non touchdown reception for driver tonight sharper is there to make the tackle the crowd gets on Darren it's the Louisville of course Russian guards Vikings were the edge there but the passing guards over a hundred more for Green Bay each team with a turn on when the Packers have a seven point we're talking about these receivers and their new receivers and different diamond the thing that they'll have to learn Brett Favre was born to codify some faith Faithie and you have to fight for second [Music] and assembly because of price last week and he got away with balls because Green Bay was able to recover in each instance of Atlanta but this one after was not the way by DJ Henderson like EJ Henderson had recovered it it did but it's going to be Green Bay ball so God o is not caught enough three times in a game and a half and has been very lucky he always carries the ball in his left hand and and he doesn't get it in there tight you know and once you get that wing out of that elbow out away from the body and you get hit you're going to fun we see how he gets the elbow right there away from the body and it goes right between the elbow and the body right out the back door there down in three of the 49 yard line four-man rush done to his left close federal blocked by driver and incomplete so they're forced to pump with they're lucky they didn't have a lost fumble [Music] [Applause] yeah they had good coverage Fred farm comes back and he's trying to go out here to his right side you see he has three guys he has he has a cross he has an inn and then he has another in here this is probably where he should have gone but he didn't have time then he had it pull the ball up run out to his left and threw it to driver Lysander kicking the world a moors way before for a fare campus to make it at the 36 yard line Minnesota has the ball the refurbished Lambeau Field about four years ago the atrium very popular gathering spot 14 7 factors standings in the NFC North Chicago seven and three the Bears of a tough road down the stretch they have two home games in full road game and a tough schedule but if Green Bay win tonight they'll have a free game pushing the sixth ago a beat Minnesota went fishing bounces going to go deep and Denison's going to put it right into the hands of foreign Robinson who get bump and pain hold on Nick Holland is there on the coverage the Robinson had it and couldn't hold on to it this is a speed group that they were talking about last night Gordon Robinson and Troy Williamson and they have a boat out of here side by side and they have one going down the inside see Williamson he's on the outside corner Amundsen was on the inside Brad Johnson hits them perfectly that's the old double cope with your screens and you're getting your UT speed guys in ready to get is one plane then get them side by side down deep [Applause] more or excuse me Michael Bennett to the 41-yard line more start of the game been insisting spot duty let's go to Sam Ryan and I spoke to Mike pipes at the half he told me we gotta get our passing game going we're not making your average zinc and dunk three and five yard passes he said as for our defense I'm happy with that we're shutting down their running game we destruct Cubs there in the last play with Donald Driver touchdown gentlemen they certainly did that's the difference in the green 15 out of 20 tonight 186 into touchdown and a third on in five when it the first sound for the 49-yard one on the catch made by Travis Taylor the former Baltimore Raven first down Minnesota the problem when all you do is is dinkum Duncan Z is the defense starts coming up on him the linebackers don't drop this deep the secondary doesn't drop this deep they start crowding everything and then it's tough as Mike I said it's tough to get you thinking back [Applause] verify or credit package we get into Green Bay territory and ventilators college football at Wisconsin is out of bounds at the 44 there's a flag thrown at the 40 they still have trouble running inside and I think it's a line splits I mean every time they go inside there's no place to go they have to bounce every inside run to the outside part of it is a packer defense but I think part of it is a Viking offensive line only number 87 offense 10-yard penalty from the spot of the foul itself are down why does Marcus Robinson the former Chicago Bear only the second penalty tonight against Minnesota again you see the line splits and how close these guys are there's it's very difficult to get a hole to the inside so you see they start to run inside and the whole Packer defenses to the inside so the only place that he can take it to the outside hold right there captain goes down at the 42-yard line and it's Cole and Nick Barnett who converge on the quarterback what's a funny play yeah usually when you come outside like they just throw it away key guys tonight what's been going on with them Vikings Johnson 90 yards in that first half 1 pick more averaging three points six yards per carry and Wiggins who's their leading receiver coming into the game as collect three the 27 yards this is not a Brad Johnson down in distance third and 17 and he loses the ball and it's losin a parent even again forcing the issue and Green Bay has recovered Damon is going to make the Pro Bowl tonight after all it takes one Monday night you're on your way to Hawaii right earlier was against Mike Rosenthal they took him out with number 72 Marcus Johnson in trying to get someone over there that can pass protect right here against the air intently you're going to see that he's just too much in this rush I mean he just he just goes to the outside I mean that's not that's just terrible pass protection I mean a guy at some point when the guy starts up the field you got to punch him I mean you have to use your hands you have to get on you just can't let him run around you two beer bongs would be a Muller it's the recovery it's on my face looking up at the board he wanted to see the replay to see if he could challenge it but it's period of arm is not coming for definitely a fumble no talent and therefore will go to work Barcelona can compete and fended for leave for teaming tonight having a tremendous night but in all kinds of Proctor on it's in here and the two ends combined for the forced fumble recovery number 29 defense table yard penalty from the previous spot fourth down Brian Williams the cornerback taking the place of the injured fridge smooth and now you know Mike Tyson was worried about thinking back on it now I think his biggest worry have to be pass protection because you know coming in you're worried about the beerbot to be a mela on one side and now camping is dominating on the other side there are two and a half sacks and a forced fumble from the 31 all is given this Tony Fisher and you have another flag so it's been a relatively penalty-free game and all of a sudden we have a flag fest holding number 63 offense 10-yard penalty still first down first accepted penalty against the Packers tonight Scott wells and he's taken over for Adrian Clem the last couple of weeks here's gentlemen tonight [Music] [Applause] this is the first half this was this was against Rosenthal and you see Billy he he just has a good motor I mean it fits his hands and her feet and it's keep going forth the quarterback tonight the agent saw how [Applause] [Music] to both driver makes the catch underneath to the 34-yard line gain of about six after that penalty it's going to be second down second down and about the 14 coming up the Brett Favre is a quarterback the lights do like to anticipate where his receiver is going to be and then throw it as hard in that pole as he can and like an end point we have different receivers and you don't know exactly where they're going to be it's hard to anticipate the night and open up the fake that bumps it and the fan is incomplete Erasmus teams got his hand on it to knock it away and they could third down and 14 Rasmus James may become a Kebir budget via Miller I mean you know that speed pass rusher from the outside he was a number one draft choice on that play instead of rushing to pasture that was what they call his own dog so you rushed from the left side and then you drop your defensive end on the right side he played his college football the University Wisconsin in Madison whether they're to for centralized point I compute them to be a critical part further than enforcing you got a flag before the snack [Applause] ballpark number 76 offense five-yard penalty still far down Clifton and he has another speed restaurant him Lance Johnstone and that that happens two tackles again usually on the road go but when you get a speed pass rusher on you those guys will cause a lot of havoc on the quarterback but they'll also cause cause tackles to move early the third in 19th consternation so I'm opposed to make sermon and blast H is crazy or wide receivers even out of here daily the start of third and nineteen applause over the middle and that is incomplete he wanted to go to driver again but this time you had three guys back there that was off the back shoulder of Brian Williams the cornerback I think I think that's a definition of forcing a ball into coverage because you know single coverage is one thing double coverage is another thing three guys converging on you is forcing the ball into coverage but if there's three white jerseys there there have to be some green jerseys open somewhere I floated their destiny by molding more at the 11-yard line with nine minutes and 19

tape they may already have been consumed there's been at picking up a yard virtual-reality Nile Diggs makes the tackle there why see turkeys like this I guess you could spell with the hook oh boy if the teacher would write on my your composition see me second and nine of the 40-yard [Music] rady Jackson weighs about 380 pounds and once he gets it up and gets it going he can't do anything about stopping him encroachment number 75 defense five-yard penalty still second down there's some times you you start something and you just have to keep going it's great to do that that was good a lot of a lot of defensive tackles it's not that they don't see the wall I mean the ball is right in front of them but what they're doing is they're is they're trying to anticipate the count they're trying to get it they're trying to get a jump on the ball and they're reading someone else other than staff at a football second down play setting up a third and two at the 20-yard line Tampa and the game Camden has been such a big part tonight of what Green Bay has done Mike Tyson well he knows all about caman Minnesota actually signed Kampmann in the offseason to an offer sheet he refers trick to create Green Bay the opportunity to magic and they did any gonna shoot up the office that's a good combination remember the one side via Militello from the other side are not run baby Jaxen stuff in the run inside burden floral impact is caught by foreign Robinson in the functions of nothing boo this year on third and short but that time they're able to get it to Robinson and he makes the grab to move the six Gordon Robinson is is in the in the slot here he's the inside guy and he just he knows where he has to go to get the first down he just gets up there al Harris is in coverage he gets a step on him a Brad Johnson just flipped out over the way from out here whoever that is for the Jermaine Wiggins he is tackled there by Marc Roman so their leading receiver for the season and tonight has just bought his fourth ball of the evening here one thing about Jermaine Wiggins he knows how to use his body I mean he kind of reminds me of a football Charles Barkley I mean you know when two balls near I mean he's turning he's going to get he's going to turn his body we're all you're going to hit is the back between the eight to five you're not going to get the ball or you're not going to get the front of them through those one been doing I'm on a Carolina Boy Williamson then around to the 47 yard line Nick Collins making the tackle Jermaine Wiggins take a look at that as we said New England and Carolina wound up there at the right time 1-1 with the Patriots and only the second point here in history two touchdown receptions on Monday Night Football the two different teams in a single season before one as a jet mm and as a paper and he was one of the guys who caught a touchdown pass and that unbelievable kept Miami game in fest ability for customers their overtime this is Noel be more taking it to the 46 yard line and a first down now they take care encampment out of the game and and and Michael Montgomery is in there Kenny Peterson is in there Michael Montgomery right here and you see they give a double-team on finally they're going to bring their tight end flying saucer in and they're going to help their right battle the only thing in here Canton wasn't in there they're 46,000 first down there's that man ladies again women like Ronaldo Nehemiah a little curdled move to the 29-yard line and Minnesota mounting best Drive of the night 17 yards on that catch there was just a quick out you know you kind of look at them when you think that you know that that he's really a big guy but he doesn't play like a big guy I mean he can make those kinds of moves he's not a great blocker he doesn't again he doesn't play like a big guy blocking either but you know he can catch the ball he can get open you can use his body and ended jumping plays like that not wrong and saying what was that overhead Hammond is back in the game here's the ball carrier nor is inside the 20 and Moore has a first time so the Minnesota Vikings trying to tie the game have marched down the field on a drive that started back at their own 12 yard line at run off on McKinney block and what it was is McKinney blocks body beer Miller here because they think it's an inside run vodka beer Miller starts to go to the inside and again the Minnesota Vikings have a most success and they can't find anything inside starting up inside getting that Packer defense to come to the inside and now at the 69 [Applause] success two maybe three college open the safety spot godness Drive beginning back at the 12 yard line John has gone 75 yards right they're not doing very well at the point of attack they're having more success going to the point of attack than bouncing out and in that one they tried to cut it back because Nick Collins was right there pretty good drive here that six runs and free passes KUB the Sabrina second down and seven Ronna consuming more than six-minute to display structures of can he get to pass away Williams mix attack with this is no room for almond mark Roman is right there to take him down at about the 13 yard line and their encampment put a hit on Brad Johnson to land you know he's been given all those tackles a tough time but watch him here he's not even going to be blocked his tight end blocks down tackle blocks down no one blocks their encampment and he gets a free shot on Brad Johnson how can you forget the block him tonight now maybe Gil at two months ago is something forgot the blocking winter camp I'm not sure but tonight you can't say hey let's let's run the pass play and not block his number well answerable question you get Richard arms in the backfield on third down and six [Applause] a napkin complete with a flag Jermaine Wiggins was the intended receiver and you can see Roman arguing with the official which is going to tell you what this call is and if it's what you think it is the ball is the real 41 yard line defense five-yard penalty first out instead of interference it's just a legal contact but it's an automatic first down it will move the ball inside the 10 yard line I just saw that flying in the end zone think it was pass interference but here you see Wiggins right here he's going to be coming up field makes a little move there and he's whoa oh that should have been passed it appears that ball was in the air if the ball is not in there five-yard penalty for illegal bumper holding if the ball is in the air you buff the guy that's passing appearance they miss cotton well you know first and goal described is consumed at the corner on the seventh a half minutes have they had the ball more gets stopped by coal there's a second down and goal where the Vikings on this Drive I think figured out something else we ought to throw the ball to Wiggins because of the five passes four of them have gone to Jermaine Wiggins still not sure about those gloves on Brown good eye on this boy weighs 15 out of 25 separate areas down to about 30 he's a smart guy working here in the living area to prepare wedding can complete and another flag has grown and this one's gonna go against Green Bay is going to make it first in gold because foreign Robinson was held by Jason horde to the ring Horton and the extra defensive back center fair number 26 he's back first down one-yard line his estate Jason of Orion is D is the nickel corner and he's going to be right here on corner Robinson he starts to the inside him grab him right there with his left hand I don't think there was a proof after that I think that was when when he went to the inside and was planned he grabbed him with his left hand why casinos escort an offensive touchdown 37 minutes not the second quarter against the court that's more than two for Game four facing looking at a Florida he's in the backfield the ball is at the one and you got a stoppage before the play before the send Minnesota had taken the time I was a minute hands left to the third they're on the doorstep [Music] the Viking just passed the ball there was an unusual time out because now a coach can call a timeout and there was my kite who didn't like the play call it goes over the offensive coordinator Steve Bologna so he stopped to play now under one arm and face it for looking he'd get in this court of success against destroy two weeks ago the loss of Mo Williams he now becomes the short yardage God now we go back to that playing you know about the pike splits and being able to run inside and Faison is e is a short yardage guy he's just going to pull that thing up to the inside but there's not many holes in there and you can see again on the inside that Packer defense is just packing in there so no D is down so you have an injury timeout here and in the day after Thanksgiving common football doubleheader Vince Young and Texas number two in the country against Texas A&M early then Nebraska Colorado later in the afternoon common football Friday of every school the molding is out second down and goal that face in he's going to work across the goal line I think no signal yet nagging and the Minnesota Vikings have just taken eight and a half minutes to go 88 yards uncovering an extra point of tying the game if they did they put Marcus Johnson they moved him from from right tackle to tight in and I think that's what Mike Tyson won it he want a bigger blocking tight in and end in there or an extra lineman and that's where he ran the ball see right here that that's what he wanted and Marcus Johnson was playing right tackle so he moved him to tight end put his right tackle Mike Rosen fall back in and then he got the extra blocker to the side of the Ron Paul Edinger illegal side bangs it through two big penalties against Green Bay on the drive and how many drives you see where he gets eight first downs the Vikings just did it for people don't list it a week from tonight and the Colts go to 11 and OH great matchup on Monday Night Football is the Pittsburgh Steelers go to Indianapolis next week on Monday Night Football [Music] temperature about the freezing mark 14 minutes and 14 seconds in to the third quarter it's 4000 perfect symmetry tick off 10-yard line I'm very firm until run it back to the 30 yard line Alvar Valley and welcome to the world our gal Michele Tafoya Tyler Bruce dangers soul came into the world in Minnesota the other night on Friday night mommy baby doing great even mark husband marks doing great as well and Pierre at the latex here is a beautiful picture Tyler Bruce Vander saw good-looking kid rips car together Vic come on ray call Masseria today others activists the final Monday night game of the season in December is Tony Fisher takes it up to the 32 yard line Michelle told me after she had the baby she said you think those football players are tough it's fine boys he he told us you don't know from top if it wasn't Michelle on that email he's understood we put it on the air then I think I have Lou Groza in my stomach and that will be the final play of the third quarter Goodwin at Lambeau Field Minnesota 14 Green Bay 14 and monday night football resumed after this message for ABC stations Monday Night Football gets back to India Hines Ward and the Steelers looked up up and Peyton Manning and the undefeated coach Monday Night Football next Monday 96 Pacific on ABC aerial coverage provided by Budweiser's you look at Lambeau Field we scored the fourth quarter Al Michaels John Madden and Sam Ryan game tied 14-14 and the Green Bay Packers have it second down and eight their own 32 right 92 yards pretty effectively no grounding to speak of six or six up about three make it to the 35-yard line it will be third down and five now those yards that you are the completions you're talking about by Brett Favre has been nine different receivers and that's when they mean Donald Driver is a guy that he's trying to get the ball through but he is spread it around to everyone else 16 completions is blabber catching for his pitcher passion for but on the ground invaders at 89 and have a really quite at expect with any 135 that's driver making the catch Drago will come up the yard or two short of the first down as Antoine Winfield makes it backless for that and another appearance by BJ sander that's probably that crossing pattern MacDonald driver is a good first down play and a good second down play but it's not a good third down play because it redo tackle that's what the Vikings were talking about last night you can't give them any rock with to tackle them when they catch it with the third down play you don't get percent is it Sanders seven fun another five yards Lord take us on the run it goes out of bounds at the 30th great director that long drive Green Bay barely has the ball and our Minnesota gets it back against that Green Bay defense that was on the field for 810 minutes working all when the lights come on at Lambeau Field [Applause] [Music] and I tried looking on the night the game tied at 14 first and 10 Minnesota has it at the 33-yard honor to that any regard mark that he's in here we've got CCleaner precious him go and the page was taught by paler so Johnson was under pressure was actually contacted as he throws and Taylor makes the catch and they have the ball in Green Bay territory after a 25-yard gain the Packers came on the Blitz on that one you wonder how Brad Johnson ever got rid of the ball I mean watch the pressure that he gets can't with his right there he goes to step up he has two guys grabbing him and he still gets that ball out there in and out and that is the toughest sort of throw for the far hash mark to the outside to the sideline is the toughest for a quarterback ostomate Brad Johnson did it with two guys hanging out there they're big cameras on the play for if I had to 33 more cups to pack always going to get the first down mores out of bounds at the 21-yard run then all of a sudden the Minnesota Vikings showing no office or the equivalent of two full games mount that big drive have a 25 yard reception followed by a 24-yard run on back-to-back ways we never documented Vikings and not being able to run at the point of attack taking the ball going inside bouncing outside or cutting back that time Kabir Bob Jamir Miller was going for the inside on a on the start they just took him in and more just put that ball back against the grain Riggins cut Harris off with a block on the fly and that's a good stop running by Moore with a spin job at the end down of its 10 yard line those mow well day more I think the spin job was against Bobby amela because he looked like he had a more was going to get him and then weld Lemoore just goes right through it this is good hard running along with the spin I mean there's there's there's there's a spit look he just he just ran right through budget be a melon and miss Phinney didn't convict second and one all of a sudden more closing in on a hundred yards the order with 87 on 15 carries that's what Brad Johnson was talking about last night to get any rhythm going offensively we have to give a running game going and they have it Minnesota takes its second timeout when these two teams met in Minneapolis last month Green Bay had a 17 nothing lead it to half and then the Vikings won the game tonight look at those numbers it was 14-7 at the half now it's 14 all the whole Minnesota in the third quarter and it's second down and 1 at the 2 yard line after a vacuum comment the looking person out of Florida comes in as a short yardage guard tackle water came in but not that he picked up a first out of the first down and goal and the Vikings that have had two great brides back-to-back and then the Packers on the other hand have had three possessions of second half and three three and outs Minnesota doing a two without fellow T who has a groin injury he is done for the night when Anthony were wearing second his eye kena seemed to spare him that Marcus Johnson looking at a Mississippi has been in the game a lot back there with offensive line I was doing the job and this is Jason the six yard line you know the interesting thing about that when they started for no D and wanted a different attitude the starting left guard was Chris Lewinsky and he's been as started there for a long time they not only took him out as a starter but they deactivated he's not even active tonight so when fenoli goes down to Matt there's no Lewinsky to put in there because he's not acting the pillow T then for where and second down and goal by the ground game here in the second man Morris back in Robinson in motion Johnson come to beloved Rome in the form of the end zone left incomplete looking for Wigan to listen to their way the cornice and that's why Brad Johnson is a smart quarterback because he doesn't force things if there's a guy open he's going to get the ball to him he makes his reads and if there's nothing there he just throws them all away you see they started off with a bunch one goes out one goes to the corner one comes across he has nothing there so he looks he reached to his right leads to a great has to come back to his left run a little knows that he has nothing it just throws the ball away and go four wide receivers more in the backfield castles complete it was foreign Robinson on a slank only one hand up incomplete it will have to settle for an Edgar field goal you're going to see number 77 Colin Jenkins he's going to get a push there and then get his left hand up there and that's why that ball come wobbling out of there they still had a chance to get repeat but Jenkins just got just enough of it to turn the ball sideways clearly deflected engine a no attempt a field goal this is a 24 yarder knocking the holder and the kick is good so the Vikings have to lead for the first time in the game 17 to 14 Minnesota [Applause] aerial coverage provided by blood Weiser's who have gone into Lambeau Field Green Bay Wisconsin John Randle clearly recognized them without the the makeup one of the things that you will wanted to do when he took over as the owner of the Minnesota Vikings is bring back some of the X players and yelling and taking the game for them to do those kinds of things I think that's a great idea I think 14 cool okay kickback feeling 18-yard line the Packers this season have lost a lot of very tough game especially early on take a look at their losses here the first one by 14 with a 2 1 3 3 7 and 10 there were wins by 49 they beat New Orleans 52 to 3 and by 8 Gus the Green Bay Packers despite a record of 2 and 7 has scored more points than they give out of the north never fear you know what I said and you see it more more more of these games commend electric possession and this is driver and drivers contact in the need a flag Donald Driver held on do by Corey Chavis as you find of author the pattern to come back and get the pass slow down a little bit Davis I got that with him now 41 he said well that said cover to UC Winfield is a short guy Chavis is going to be the deep guy over the top and and he gets caught up inside tries to get to the outside and has to grab Donald brighter when you're over the top and near the safety you can't let that guy get even with you always ought to stay deeper than the people 37 yards passing a very funny for what and it blows it away those are the types of things you can do in your big strong hands because you can you can throw the ball for any angle you can throw it with guys hanging on you watch him and just you see he gives a little pump to that and then he just kinda runs right through it and then just throws the ball out there yeah that's why I think he could throw the ball so hard alice is a grip that he has I mean look at look aware his first finger is in his little finger a meat on roof it's a reporter's inhale with his crutch and before heels on unless he's been affiliated he's got a couple of most important collectors in 50 ohm and this one intercepted by Brian lawyer so after the 37-yard finish in the parent school brett favre back to throw and brian williams the fourth-year guy at North Carolina State makes the interception and that's the thing that we talked about he has one guy that he really feels confident in one guy that he feels is real dependable and sometimes he'll he'll try and force it to him and that guy's Donald Driver he's right here he's the inside receiver and you're going to see the coverage on him they have them inside out you see they have the guy from the outside hit so much of go but they're also covering from the inside Brian Williams number 29 is the inside guy waiting for that far fall the outside guy he didn't see Brian or at war giving Minnesota a ground game here in the second half up to the 37 yard line so far gets picked twice tonight gone by uh North Carolina State guy and he has 17 interceptions on the season yet the debat the Edwards intercepts earlier Williams is a guy playing in place of the injured fridge smooth that's one of the things that the Vikings wanted to do is they know that the Donald Driver is Brett Favre a real receiver so they always if they're going to put any coverage on anyone that guy is going to be drivers that counter is an inside-out battle and agree the inside seven down in a field to the 41 yard line third down and one on the interception by Williams what a Darren Sharper have to say about it [Applause] yeah I thought you think so I told what yeah the Packer really enjoyed himself good funny how they all no after the fact I've heard a man who'd you like in the fourth of Sanna neither here's faizon picking up a first down for the 42 yard line tackled by Nick Collins I used to have a player like that Jima Gene Upshaw that no matter what happened after the game you know if we won a big game he would say he had a dream about you know he dreamt that we beat him by three touchdown he dreamt the Sabre threw four touchdown pass and I said hey look when you have those dreams you know what's going to happen before you tell me Thomas going to nobody could dream of the Vikings after that first half would dominate the second half the way they have everything I think with Garrett chart was talking about is when you play a Brett Favre why figure he is going to produce fun you just have to cut or that's an aisle digs his walk a lot of action recently with an injured knee who makes a stop now this Packard defense is going that to come up with a big play you know that you know that's what the Vikings have done I'm in a Viking defense they hung in there the engine hair performed and then they got those two turnovers and the Packers have to come up and get a turnover now I mean their defense [Applause] time the second half with they're going to have to make a point then base is an interim head coach after they've launched that reside in Miami last year and came here second and ten restrict play is the wrong be more coming close to getting the first down as Nick Barnett is able to stop him at the 50-yard line setting up a big third and two over Jim Kleinsasser block yeah what they did is they is they run a run blips to the other side and then and then they they figured out that they're not going to be able to run to the inside so we may as well stretch and get to the outside because we got there with a bounce back we got there with a cutback now let's just say that heck with the inside and go out there with a stretch body below be more who could not carry the ball a little last briefing into a sprained wrist and carried lengthened by to a hundred four yard in Minnesota's left over 100 to the half of em and a lot for inside the 30 and more the 25-yard line so Michael Bennett had been their guy then they granted more out of Tulane and he has come along but he was going to come back Fargo and that's Anthony Herrera taking the place of the injured fawn OD her errors saying no that he didn't call that was a that was a crap way back to the weak side because what you do is you just you just have him as a as a hat back on the right side and he just runs back to this left side makes a heck of a move right there and Mark Romo the Carrera had a case I don't see what that bold way I don't either [Music] so third down and 12 will under supply supply Michael Bennett is now in the game he wanted back he's been in a lot of joy and so [Applause] Collins on a1 glitch is able to knock him down back at the 35 yard line and this is this is this is bringing seven and again they knew that they had to make a play they had to do something is Nick Collins 36 he's just coming straight up the middle now but the path he's going to be right on Brad Johnson leave it to run he's going to be right on the runner the second he gets the ball he was right there those four from 17 with a very costly penalty means Chris Cooley has to cover the kick Antonio Chapman stains of his own 20-yard line and the bottoms are going to the Vikings contact could be looking around the 34 yard line come back to about that spot is his cudgel by a Viking after the first bounce like you could hurt you could hear it touch the Viking until they'll spotted at the 33 yard line Brett Favre will take possession there with his team down by three and 449 to play [Music] the Packers have hardly had the bowl in the second half they haven't run it and passing Brett's only thrown the ball eight times three completions 16 yards and now we have it to begin this drive at their own 34 yard line first and 10 don't interfere Zeroni go for assorted o'clock finally out of bounds at the 38f ravine of thought here you look at the factors second half possessions you said they haven't done I'm going to add three three and out and then the last possession before this one was to plays in interception and the suddenness Oregon Oh has only carried the ball wrong town on the half and that was a fumble that was the third fumble in game and a half and inside of the boy came and he probably won't carry a together second down and five or second proof and that leads there he goes back to back to lead once to the right side this time to the left side and the ball is in Viking territory at the 47 yard line first down yeah I think he figured out that I better get away from Donald Driver for a while I may be able to come back to them later for a big play but I have to spread the ball around and if we're going to double him and they're going to be some of those things then I better find someone else too [Applause] and that is padded family the line of scrimmage and incomplete to make it second down and ten Kevin Williams I think is the guy I've got a hand on it the Minnesota Vikings defense they revamped it in the offseason brought in some new people granted it offensively and yet they're coming into the game same old problem set to throw and tonight let's see if they can stick him here the first time he got a couple of his guys that got Sam powered as a middle linebacker he got Pat Williams in there here big run stopper and deflector inside fastest part of their defense mr. packer old man walking second to same part comes in that passes incomplete intended for Antonio Chapman and he flag down that was a bad throw there by Brett Favre because Chapman was there I mean he was wide open on that book and there was a lot a lot of space around him to get the ball to him Walt Anderson illegal hands hands to the face number 98 you can call your family first big penalty five yards automatic first against dowry Scott burying Scott's he left defensive end I've had to be in the pass rush against attack haven't heard his name all night I would say that mark couch or the the right tackle the Packers has done a pretty good job of pass protection on that side against god that's a good point you don't hear the defenders game between the offensive tackles doing the job I watched mom film last week I was arrogant preferably both Kaakha Kaakha Kaakha Lynch artistic inside handoff the teacher gets to before he is taken down at the the 39 yard line called again at Currie Scott is there on the tackle 348 and ticking down Green Bay with all of its timeouts one of the thing is plenty how quarterbacks always watch other quarterbacks and Brad Johnson was talking about Brett Favre and his shotgun and he said one thing I like about Brett Favre and shotguns they still had him running good and they probably have a better one game from stuck in the pocket identity here than any other handle bar escort 30 yard-line you got Andre Thurmond another flag down and yet another one comes in at the end of the play I think that was the same one out I think the guy threw it then picked it up meant going for it again but now there's the throw right there the only Brett Favre can make you know when you're when you're up in crowd and you get it gets back to the spring open grip number 33 meet back penalty is declined as a result from players of the free pass so fourth down Ralph Brown [Applause] Springs began where he could have that ball and start to throw it and then spot I'm going to bring it back and remote it control at the age of 36 far too high pass intended for Robert Ferguson secondary I don't think Ferguson has caught a pass tonight he has not what offense I was I was surprised that he was he was playing at all and then and he didn't practice much the other day and then look better as we said yesterday and he didn't know if he was going to play tonight and he ended up starting upon further review maybe the sound for antenna club or the 5 yard mm been obvious in this game [Applause] Pass is incomplete and Antonio salmon was intended to receiver let's go to Sam Ryan Ryan long will come out here out for a field goal I asked him before the game what he was comfortable with tonight he said about 45 yards that was his range for the ceiling at one time so right now he would be looking at about a 45 or 46 yard field goal attempt on a level that's not much wind right now would be exactly 46 out because the holder now is watching the practices is 8 yards 8 yards back from the line from Reese would be seven and they kept sneak into fact I bought a cake tonight design intent for the 28 yard line in the traffic and incomplete in and out of the hands of Andre Furman and there was Devante Edwards who might have gotten a hand on it now long wall will have to come out an attempt that 46 yard field goal that's the thing when you get when you get a rookie in there in this situation that's the guy that you want to work on with Devante Edwards has stepped up to the tower and he's the he's the guy let's get on him let's get that clam on him flow it get him there as you get a step on him and he covers it he's a play for Edwards tonight 46 yard attempt to the holy to kick it and the kick is good Bryan long well two of more than 50 last week indoors tonight at 30 degrees outdoors from 46 to tied at 17 Lambeau Field where nary a soul has left good ballgame 1717 these team teams meeting for the 30th time in this fabled Stadium each has 114 and there's been one time and the game is five in each of the last three regular season games between these two teams I wound up being one at the gun with a field goal wrong last year and this year the passenger field within the 26 yard line by Richard Owens and he brings it back to the 33 yard line Brett Favre tonight two touchdowns with two interceptions one of which was run back for a touchdown Donald Driver on the receiving end of bull boo Favre touchdown passes Brad Johnson 153 yards tonight sacked five times the block day Edwards make that big play at the end of the first half to tie the game well Dee Moore has really come on in the second half as West for 104 and now Brad Johnson has it at the 33 yard line first and ten and they go two more again the more is able to start with a 7 yard gain out to the 40-yard line as we sit down under three minutes to go in regulation where they found something here the Minnesota Vikings have it the left side of their offensive line against the right side of the Packer defense let's Brian McKinney here and Kabir Bahji Mia Bella he's just he's just too big and too strong and and beer Mela looks like he's warned that the Packers in the secondary defender after a long time decided go to the left side but by Zerbe Mila is there to stop him setting up third down into the Vikings have the wrong timeout remaining [Applause] little Viking to run the ball now eight straight times again I think I think they found something there you know let's run to the left let's give it to the outside let's get it on the edge we've been able to do that so again they've got an eight straight time so like I saw those two fingers he says let's take it to the two-minute warning which they do 1700 the first Monday Night Football game ever from Green Bay with other parties [Applause] in for the touchdown horrible Brandi you have a rod [Applause] [Music] [Applause] which would occur [Applause] every offensive player is alive with Brett Favre as a quarterback Wi-Fi driver for the touchdown Lambeau Field through the years on Monday night and so it's fitting tied two minutes to go and as you said near your soul has left the stadium and for good reason you know what this rivalry means that you know that these two teams always come right down to the end and why leave now the other thing it means there's going to be a half of a traffic jam after this game between here in Milwaukee yeah you bet if they don't care they just want to win here a lot of people late for work tomorrow Birdman deuce a pizza to nor the final right that's the first [Applause] [Music] in the 49-yard line of the Green Bay Packers it was interesting they started earlier we're talking about they couldn't run anything inside they couldn't find anything so then they started going outside then they started to go into the left and they said let's pack everything out here to the right side and just pitch the ball out and outflank them and that's exactly what they did that trips out here is this side they just pitched it out two more he got the corner but after he got the corner he just burned up for the first down vacuums with one timeout remaining at the 49 yard that is taught to go to little bit he takes it to the 41 Barnett makes the tackle in a perfect world Minnesota will take the clock all the way down and get into Edinger field over in right then they're in this type of rhythm that Brad Johnson was talking about where there will run the ball they rushed the ball tonight for 163 yards in the garden here run for n22 second I love to gossip [Applause] inside the hoodie taken down at the six for first and goal and now they can take the clock all the way down to the end Green Bay is going to have to use its timeouts on defense after a 40 yard pickup and a first and goal Corinne Robinson is the guy that Brad Johnson is going to look forward to he's a speed guy if you're going to take a shot you want to take it right here watch him he's the outside guy there and he's just going he's right out here and you're going to see he has man-to-man on them and it looks like the guy doesn't give a good bump and then the safety Nick Collins doesn't get over I think the corner should bump and then run a little deeper they let him go right there and then 36 Nick Collins is late getting over there Andy and the and the gap between the corner and the safety was so wide the core in Robinson was wide open for Brad Johnson look at him he's looking all the way he sees that thing the hallway saw the press coverage up there probably thought it was man-to-man it turns into a former cover - I think with the safety didn't go over there and the corner didn't stay with them long enough and then all Sherman can do is take a timeout to try to conserve some of the clock the Minnesota can take an owner family - acronym earth Candela and Johnson's distant intersect Neil they let Greenbay take another timeout they have only one and then Minnesota can set up a game-ending field goal Monday Night Football from Green Bay being brought to you by autotrader.com the smarter place to buy and sell a car Sirius satellite radio is more than just ready at Sirius satellite radio and BP so Culpeper gets hurt he's after defusing Brad Johnson comes in he was going to be the backup all year he beats Detroit last week he's the starting quarterback when they beat the Giants and he's signed for the hat for tonight and the Minnesota wind it's the Luna race right there would be three and Oh for Brad Johnson and that's why when you go out and free agency and and and you have a good quarterback and you're looking for a backup you're always looking for that backup that is a quick study a guy that has experienced a guy like Brad Johnson sued he did on that last one he took a knee as you said that he jumped to me to get in the middle of the field definitely going to me right here and green they can stop it one more time which they will do now you're in it you're in a situation here [Applause] I'm sure if Minnesota is going to take take it down here because they have one timeout the other option you have but you leave too much time on the other side is if you have a bad snap you can try and here on third down but we're green be able to take those timeouts you don't want to take the chance of leaving Brett Farve 25 or 30 second I wouldn't want to leave him anything I'd want to take if you're just setting up here for a field goal and you're not going to take the shot I mean I always believe that before I took the field goal I would take one shot at the end zone but that's with a different team that veterans that you know people have played together for a long time in this situation I believe you take as much time off the clock and just let Edgar come in on Thursday so Johnson will take a knee here and now edinger will come in to try to win it at the end so it's going to be a fourth down place and theis can take the clock all the way down I'm going to take it down to one second if you
