“It can be a big factor,” cornerback Tramon Williams said. “There are a lot of good teams in the NFC. This NFC is stacked tight. Home-field advantage could be a key. So hopefully we can continue winning and add more games at Lambeau.”
Lucky No. 13: Davante Adams made some history Monday night, tying Don Hutson as the only Packers receivers to record 13 or more receptions in multiple games.
Adams finished with 13 receptions for 116 yards, his most since catching 13 passes for 132 yards and two touchdowns against Chicago on Oct. 20, 2016. With the Vikings leaving opportunities underneath, the Packers used frequent bubble screens to Adams to help move the chains.
“They weren’t allowing us to throw the ball down the field, so this was a way to get us the ball on the outside,” said Adams, who needs 96 receiving yards next week against Detroit for his second career 1,000-yard season. “This is something that I love to do. We worked it in more today and can continue to do so down the road.”
Finding Lazard: Three of the five third downs the Packers converted against the Vikings came courtesy of quarterback Aaron Rodgers finding first-year receiver Allen Lazard in the middle of the field.
“He’s obviously one of the greatest to ever play the game, especially at quarterback,” said Lazard, who finished with five catches for 45 yards. “For him to go out there and be able to call my number, especially on those third downs, is huge.”
