Coming off a rough loss, the Green Bay Packers (7-4) will look to regain their form when they go up against the Minnesota Vikings (6-5) in Week 13. Aaron Rogers and the Packers are coming off their worst defeat in nearly five seasons after being blown out 38-10 by the New York Giants. It was Green Bay's worst loss since the Chicago Bears defeated them by a score of 35-7 on Dec. 23, 2007.

"Maybe it's a good reminder of what happens when you don't come to play. We're going to take this as a positive. This will be motivation for us the rest of the year," defensive tackle Ryan Pickett told ESPN.

Although the Packers now find themselves one game back of the Chicago Bears for the NFC North lead, they still currently hold the first wild-card spot. Green Bay's fate will ultimately be determined within their own division, as they'll play four of their last five games versus opposition within it.

"Everything we want to accomplish is still in front of us and that'll be our focus. I believe in what we're about as a football team," said coach Mike McCarthy.

The Packers front line had a rough time defending their star QB Rogers, who was 14 of 25 for 219 with one touchdown and one interception. The 2011-12 MVP was also sacked five times and gave up a fumble.

"You win five in a row and everyone is happy, but like I said last year, there are things that go under the radar that need to be handled. Sometimes it takes a loss. ... We need to remember this feeling and not have this kind of embarrassment happen again," said Rogers.
