There was a noticeable drop off after Kevin King exited the game vs the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday. The former second-round pick tweaked a familiar groin injury during the second quarter that prevented him from returning in the second half. Veteran corner Davon House stepped in his place and the result was an obvious decline in play by the defense.
“We probably didn’t handle Kevin King’s injury very well,” Mike McCarthy said on Monday. “We just weren’t as detailed down the stretch. It was obviously an ability for them to extend drives and they hit the big play there on the touchdown, too.
