What Time is the Packers-Vikings Playoff Game?
Green Bay hosts Minnesota at Lambeau Field in the third game of the season between the NFC North rivals.
After failing to stop Adrian Peterson twice, the Green Bay Packers will be invited to do so again on Saturday in the first round of the NFL Playoffs.
The Packers host the Minnesota Vikings at 7 p.m. Saturday, and the game will be broadcast locally on Today’s TMJ 4.
Peterson thrashed Green Bay for 199 yards on Sunday, including a final, 26-yard run to make easy the game-winning, 29-yard field goal in the 37-34 triumph that put Minnesota into the playoffs. The performance was just four weeks after he rushed for 210 yards in Green Bay in a 23-14 Packers win.

The Packers try to counter with offense and quarterback Aaron Rodgers. His final three games of the regular season were impeccable — 78 of 114 passing (68.4 percent), 998 yards, 10 touchdowns and no interceptions. Rodgers should, for the first time in months, have all his top receivers available — Jordy Nelson, Greg Jennings, James Jones, Randall Cobb and Jermichael Finley.
If you want to watch it in person, there are plenty on Stub Hub. As of Monday at noon, tickets started at $130 for single seats.
