Game facts: Vikings at Packers

Published: Oct 01, 2016 at 01:08 PM

Could it happen again?: The Vikings were the NFL's last undefeated team at 5-0. Since 1970, only once has the NFL's last undefeated team missed the playoffs (1993 Saints started 5-0, ended 8-8).

Offensive futility: Since Week 7, the Vikings rank 30th in points per game (16.1 PPG) and last in red-zone TD percentage (37.9 percent).

No run game: Minnesota ranks dead last in the NFL in yards per carry (3.0) and rushing yards per game (70.6).

Standout defense:The Vikings have held opponents to 20 points or fewer in nine games this season (only the Cowboys and Lions have more such games).

Mind-blowing stat: Minnesota's defense has yet to allow a 300-yard passer this year. The last time a team went a full season without allowing a 300-yard passer was 1993.
