their top d-linemen tonight, linval joseph. second down and te four-man rush. fires over t t middle. that's incomplete. intended for cobb. 50 seconds now. third and ten. >> cris: much better job that time b bkendricks running underneath that middle read. that's probably been the difference in this game, al, is the ability of these inside linebackers to take away those easysynside throws that aaron rodgers loves. you see kendricks dropping right back underneath it. he sees the adjustment by cobb. runs underneath it. forces rodgers to throw itide and misses it. >> al: he's really taken a beaten. the last two games, sacked 13 times, five tonight. third down and ten. rodgers flushed out. downfield, throws, and not even close. that one is knocked down by munnerlyn. one play, fourth down. green bay trying to keep its hopes alive. ototrwise it's on to theheoad. >> cris: well, we have a lot of mobility. they've been playing those two deep safeties. but aaron rodgers certainly a threat to run in these really clutch situations. see if they keep those two deep safeties bac i think they will. >> al: backing up p ght now. backing the linebackers up. and rodgers on fourth down. he's going to keep it alive on a pass to richard rodgers. clock keeps s running. they have to scramble to the line. line of scrimmage at the 46. does he spike it here? no. backs you, throws at the outstse. caught. 24 second. ball at the 49 yard line. >> cris: don't give up anything. these are interesting strategies to me. you get about three shototat plays. do you want to continue to march it down and have one throw at the end of take all these shots p into the end zone in one way, shape or form?m? >> al: sooner or later. second down and three from the 39 yard line. rodgers. scrambles away. takes s e shot deep downfield. and out of the end zone. and that took nine seconds off the clock. you're down to 15. >> c cs: they really sort of had the wide receiver screen set up. and i'm not sure if they didn't just ad lib this one a little bit on the fly. runs down ththfield. it looked to be one of those quick screens that was going to be thrown out. and they h some space to run. mind he e s going to take one e those shots down the field. >> al: sendejo, the safety, stayed with him. 15 seconds and third down. to rodgers. and that's going to take us -- unless perry can spike it here, that's going to do it. that's also fourth down. so can rodgers spike it in time? he's going to get one more play. one morereiracle attempt. to the end zone. can they do this again? no. holy mackerel. >> cris: wow, what a game. it took every second, but they finally knocked the champs off in this division. >> al: mike zimmer, took him a long time to get a heaeacoaching job. gets the gatorade bath. they have another game at home in minneapolis before they go to the dome next year. and the seahawks know they go to the twin cities and the packers know they go to washington. >> cris: i ihink that was xavier rhodes who went over the top of richard rodgers there. xavier rhode had one of the best games i've seen him have. does he get the plpl off in time? right there. and he got -- he had richard rodgers down the field after he scrambles. xavier rhode goes over the top and baba that thing down. number 29. >> a you also had anthony barr right there fronting it. >ris: there he is right there. >> al: here comes barr and barr is right there, too. >> cris: rodgers sort of backs his way in and just as it was coming into richard rodgers' hands, xavier rhodes knocked it xavier rhode had a great game. >> a a yes, he did. mike zimmer takes his team home to take on the seahawks next week. e regular season is history. welcome to the volkswagen here now bob costas. >> right down to the final play, but finally the minnesota vikings slay their dragon, the green bay packers, at least as far as the division is concerned, before they move on to the playoffs. the vikings are the champions of the nfc north. they'll head to washington and the packers will head to the nation's capital. 20-13 the final score. here are your game balls. one will go to everson griffen, the defensive end d the vivings. he had six tackles, a couple of sacks and a forced fumble. defensive back xavier rhodes played a terrific all-around game and included three tackles and an interception and d rian peterson in the course of winning his third career rushing title, carried 19 times for 67 yards and a touchdown. they gft the game balls and the honor of speaking with michele. >> adrian, first we got to ask you about your lower back. you went into the locker room, came back out, tried to give it a go. what's going on?

>> it was a group effort. we went out there and we rushed hard. it was just a group -- we just won the game, man. it was a group effort. and we tried hard and we won the game. and i'm excited right now. >> you guys were out there a lot this defense. d to come on the roaoainto lambeau and to knock off the four-time defending division champs, what does it mean?

>> if these minnesota vikings who have to face seaeale, seattle is playing red hot, and i just like where they are. their defense, russell wilson, and the fact that they went into minnnnota and they won thahagame earlier in the season. they've got that championship swagger. they're not afraid of going on full. i think we'll have a great game next week. >> let's take a look at how things will go neckxt weekend in the nfc. the bye will go to denver. the patriots drop to number two. the prime time game at 8,15 eastern time on saturday. and kansas city will open it up at houston on saturday at 4:35 on abc/espn. okay, what are you looking for in the afc as the playoffs begin over there, tony? well, bob, the afc c so wide open. i don't know that i can remember a year where the number one seed, denver, has been beaten by both wild card teams. that just shows you how explosive and exciting this is going to be. pittsburgh and kansas city have great teams. they're both playing good football. and they can go a long way. so i don't know who you peg as the favorite but i like both of and pittsburgh. >> of course, they have to play the extra game and they're likely to be on the road throughout. creates an additional hurdle. now let's take a look, as we bring in mike florio, as some of the head coaching spots that are open, and there are several. three that we knew about entering the day. the interim coaches in miami and tennessee us chip kelly's firing several days ago in philadelphia. but two more spots opened up today with the browns cleaning house and the 49ers firing jim tomsa after one year. what else ean we expect in the next coming days? >> the next one is i i indianapolis where choech chuck pagano has completed his four-year contract with no extension. he's expected to meet on monday with owner jim irsay. the expectation is pagano wiwi be relieved of his duties. what happened to gm ryan grigson. there's a thought that his next coach is. in 1998 the colts made a run with a kay named nick saban who may be getting restless. in new y yk, it's not as certain as many believe regarding the future of tom coughlin. some think he'll retire or resign on monday. it's going to be determined on monday when he gets together with ownership. he could stay. it's not a done deal. he could be fired and if he's fired he could xwoechcoaching somewhere else in 2016. sean payton will meet with mickey loomis. and in detroit the fate of coach jim caldwell will be determined by the next gm after that person is hirir. finally, in san diego, there are reports that chargers coach mike mccoy is safe. that may be the case. but the first order r business for the chargers is to file a relocation petition to los angeles as soon as tomorrow if they get approval on january 13 to move, mccoy's fate could change. the chess board. again here at lambeau tonight, the final score, the vikings win the nfc north. they beat the packers 20-13. al and cris are back to wrapap things up after this. the sunday night football post game report is brought to you by the newly redesigned volkswagen passat. the mid-sized car for your full-sized life. they're your kids. why are you guys xting grandma?
