Keys for the Vikings
— The topic of discussion this week was J.J. McCarthy’s mechanics. That’s also the key to the Vikings pulling off an upset at Lambeau Field. Though there should be ample opportunity for the Vikings to pound the rock against a shaky run defense, McCarthy is going to have to hit on some of his opportunities down the field. If his fundamentals from practice translate to accuracy in the game, the Vikings are at least going to give themselves a chance.
Keys for the Packers
— There’s a reason the Packers traded for Micah Parsons. They brought him in to singlehandedly destroy the confidence of opposing teams, and while the ultimate goal is having Parsons do that in the postseason, Green Bay will certainly take it against the Vikings. It’s on Parsons to make life miserable for McCarthy in and out of the pocket. If he can get him out of rhythm, McCarthy has shown he’ll turn the ball over.
