Cheese Curds: Green Bay Packers News and Links for November 19, 2014

Welcome to Wednesday, where we at Acme Packing Company typically start flipping the switch and looking ahead to the Green Bay Packers' next game. Up next are the Minnesota Vikings, who will host the Packers in the cold for the first time since 1981, when they played at Metropolitan Stadium.

Before we dig too deep into the upcoming game, though, let's take a look back at Aaron Rodgers' weekly radio show, among other topics in today's curds.

So says Mike McCarthy. This would be a perfect trap game, coming between two critical home games against tough, division-leading opponents. Hopefully the Packers' preparation will be up to the level it has been the past two weeks.

That's a fun stat, but another interesting one is that only ten other NFL teams since 1980 have averaged 33 points per game over their first ten games, which is the Packers' league-leading number right now.
