STREAKS, STATS AND NOTES – Coach Mike McCarthy of Packers (6-3) and coach Brad Childress of Vikings (3-6) have same career record against each other as current marks of their teams this season. … Starts stretch for Packers of three out of four games on road against dome teams, with Falcons and Lions coming later. They’re 9-3 under McCarthy indoors in regular season. … After allowing 14 sacks in two games against Vikings last season, Packers have protected QB Aaron Rodgers much better. He went sack-free against Vikings last month – for third time in nine games this year. … Likely last of four grudge games for Vikings QB Brett Favre against Packers, with retirement expected after season. After throwing seven TDs without an interception or taking sack over two emotional victories against old team last season, Favre was picked off three times – one for a touchdown – for a lowly 50.4 passer rating in last meeting at Lambeau Field. … Vikings WR/KR Percy Harvin leads NFL in net yards with 1,443 – including rushing, receiving and returning. … Vikings RB Adrian Peterson has rushed for a touchdown in five straight games against Packers. … Hope for Vikings is not all lost: In 20 seasons since the NFL’s current 12-team format began in 1990, three clubs have made playoffs after starting 3-6 – Patriots in 1994, Lions in 1995 and Jaguars in 1996.
