1 Down, 2 to Go

The Green Bay Packers defeated the Minnesota ViQueens, 24-10 at Green Bay.  Now, it's 2 more games before the Packers make it to the Super Bowl game.
From jsonline: Adrian Peterson is mortal after all.
The Green Bay Packers really can play run defense.
And Joe Webb, well, he isn't even Christian Ponder.
Taking full advantage of the Minnesota Vikings' missing starting quarterback, the Packers stymied Peterson and rolled, 24-10, in an NFC wild-card playoff game Saturday night at Lambeau Field.
The third-seeded Packers (12-5) were in control from start to finish in eliminating their border rivals, who were seeded sixth and finished 10-7.
Now Green Bay moves on to the divisional round and a date at 7 p.m. Saturday against the second-seeded San Francisco 49ers (11-4-1) at Candlestick Park.
The 49ers defeated the Packers, 30-22, on Sept. 9 in Green Bay. The Packers are 4-1 in playoff games at Candlestick, with the loss coming in the 1998 wild-card round on a last-second touchdown pass to Terrell Owens.
Peterson, who had lanced the Packers for 409 yards in a split of two games during the regular season, finished with 99 yards on 22 carries for a 4.5 average.
"Our defense was outstanding for four quarters," coach Mike McCarthy said. "They set the tempo and adjusted to the quarterback change.
"Played with leverage, played with discipline and obviously rallied to the football. He (Peterson) is a great player. He does a good job extending plays, like Aaron Rodgers does for us. I thought our defense played with great discipline."  http://www.jsonline.com/sports/packers/185760822.html
1 game at a time, but the Packers played very god today and they know they can beat the San Fran 49ers, so, next week will be a good game.
Prediction: Packers win by 7 over the 49ers.
