Last week the Vikings had a much-needed bye. An NFL bets season sold as a big one has already crashed and burned. Quarterback Kirk Cousins has confirmed he’s not the man to take the Vikings to the Super Bowl. Minnesota coach Mike Zimmer gets plenty of blame. But he didn’t remake the roster. Instead, that would be general manager Rick Spielman. Now comes a tough game against Aaron Rodgers and the Packers. Green Bay has rekindled its offensive magic with second-year coach Matt LaFleur. Still inconsistent is a defense that can at times be lit up.
