• On Sunday, Flynn entered in relief of the ineffective Scott Tolzien to rally the Packers from a 23-7 deficit with 14:22 left. Flynn, Rodgers' former backup who was re-signed a couple weeks ago, finished 21 of 36, including a 6-yard touchdown pass to Jarrett Boykin with 3:30 left that got Green Bay within three. Mason Crosby's 27-yard field goal with 46 seconds in regulation tied the game at 23.
• "Looking at the guys' eyes in the huddle, I don't think there was any doubt, especially when we started making some plays," Flynn said. "I'm proud of the guys for fighting, but we just have to finish."
• It's unclear when Rodgers will be able to return. For now, McCarthy said he would need to evaluate the quarterback position looking ahead to Detroit.
• PONDER THIS: For a while, Christian Ponder looked like the best quarterback on the field. He finished 21 of 30 for 233 yards and a touchdown, though the Packers' defense got to him for six sacks.
• Maybe the Vikings' quarterback carousel has finally stopped spinning.
• "I don't know any reason why he wouldn't" start next week against the Bears, Minnesota coach Leslie Frazier said. "He was really composed and ran the offense in every situation. He was much more in control."
• CLAY-MAKER: Adrian Peterson (146 yards rushing on 32 carries) and Toby Gerhart (91 yards on eight carries) wore down the Packers' defense. But the unit did come up clutch late by holding the Vikings to 34 yards over its final three drives in regulation.
• Matthews also looked more like his disruptive self in his third game back from a thumb injury and finished with four tackles and two sacks.
• HOMECOMING: The boos rained down on Greg Jennings after his first catch on his old home field as a member of the Minnesota Vikings.
• Jennings finished with two receptions for 29 yards.
• "It was great to come back here and play at Lambeau," Jennings said. "It's unfortunately not to get a win outright, I guess the next best thing is a tie."
