In defeat, Vikings showed Packers how to beat Cardinals

GREEN BAY – Teams often say they learn from their losses.

So, how about learning from other team’s losses?

Two weeks ago on a Thursday night, the Minnesota Vikings took the Arizona Cardinals to the wire, with a strip-sack in the waning seconds preventing the Vikings from getting a shot at a game-tying field goal in a 23-20 decision.

It was one of only two times the Cardinals’ current eight-game winning streak has been seriously threatened, and it wasn’t a case of Minnesota catching Arizona on a bad day.

The Cardinals rolled up 393 yards of total offense, a couple of first downs under their season average (423).
