l THE DAILY GLOBE • YOURDAILYGLOBE.COM SPORTS THURSDAY, DECEMBER 26, 2019 9 Division champion Packers proud of another not-so-pretty win MINNEAPOLIS (AP) – The first time the Green Bay Packers formally gathered in the spring, new coach Matt LaFleur presented the goal of reclaiming the NFC North. Division titles are standard preseason talking points around the NFL, and for the past quarter-century they've been the minimum expectation for the Packers. Consid- ering their two primary rivals won the NFC North the past two years, though, this was a bold objective under a new coaching staff with so many inexperienced play- ers at the offensive skill positions. Quarterback Aaron Rodgers sensed a difference mid- way through training camp, a higher energy from the defense and a stronger chemistry within the team from the previous two seasons. As it turned out, the Packers (12-3) had the winning formula to match their ambition, even if they didn't accumulate many style points along the way. Their per- formances on the road against the previous two division champions were choice examples, from the gritty 10-3 win over Chicago in the opener on Sept. 5 to the sound 23-10 defeat of Minnesota on Monday that clinched first place. "There's a lot of emphasis on looking pretty or domi- nating in a way that befits your explanation, but I thought tonight was a really good performance for us," Rodgers said afterward. He added: "It doesn't matter how we get it done as long as we get it done." Beating the Vikings at U.S. Bank Stadium, where the Packers lost in their first three visits, was especially sat- isfying. "To win it in this stadium where a couple of years ago I was jeered leaving the field after breaking my collar- bone," Rodgers said, "it feels pretty good." The Packers need only to close the regular season with a win at Detroit on Sunday afternoon to secure a first-round bye for the playoffs. If Seattle beats San Fran- cisco to win the NFC West on Sunday night, the Packers will have the No. 1 seed and get to stay at Lambeau Field for the whole month of January until the Super Bowl if they make it that far. "There's not a lot of people that like to come up to the freezing cold and play us," defensive tackle Kenny Clark said. "I know that for a fact. It feels good." WHAT'S WORKING With a league-leading 19 total touchdowns, Aaron Jones has quite the bulwark for an offense that has lacked a down-field spark beyond star wide receiver Davante Adams. Jones had just 45 yards on 10 rushes in the first half at Minnesota, but LaFleur's consistent commitment to the run again paid off. Jones delivered the finishing shot with a 56-yard touchdown scamper in the fourth quar- Associated Press ter, with Vikings linebackers Eric Kendricks and Antho- MILWAUKEE BUCKS' Giannis Antetokounmpo, right, dunks the ball as Philadelphia 76ers' Tobias Harris, left, ny Barr sidelined by injuries. looks on during the first half Wednesday in Philadelphia. LaFleur credited the wide receivers for their willing- ness to block. Rodgers praised LaFleur's play-calling. "I've always tried to do what the team needed. I think there's been times over the years where I needed to do Embiid stars as 76ers beat Bucks some of those things I've done over the years.
