Sports Vikings push Packers’ season to the brink; Broncos snap Steelers’ win streak

NFL Week 12 Top story lines | Injury news Fantasy football | ATS betting tips/ picks The Vikings pushed the Packers’ season to the brink of irrelevance with a 24-17 win in the Sunday night game. Green Bay fell to 4-6-1 and according to NBC’s telecast, now has just a three percent chance of reaching the playoffs. With the defeat, the grip of much-maligned Packers Coach Mike McCarthy on his job security became that much more tenuous. “We know we have to win all five,” he said after the game, referring to his team’s remaining slate. One of the few positive takeaways for the Packers and their fans is that even though they will likely need to win out just to have a shot at the postseason, their schedule the rest of the way — vs. Cardinals, vs. Falcons, at Bears, at Jets, vs. Lions — could help make that possible. On the other hand, Green Bay has yet to win a road game this season and one of their dates as a visitor will come at division-leading Chicago.
