"There was no big takeaway from what Rodgers had to say but he was impressed with the Vikings defense.

“They got a good front with Z (Za’Darius Smith) and (Danielle) Hunter. They got two premier pass rushers and they got some good push up the middle. They played some different coverages on the back end, Harrison (Smith) was really flying around and there were some things we didn’t expect, leverages mostly I think on the slot for a lot of different plays. When you got a good pash rush and play coverage on the back end, that’s a good recipe for shutting a team down.”

The converse is quite true as well, as we have seen the last two years.

All the game tape, tendencies and schemes on how to beat Zimmer and his 4-3 from  the last 8 years is now useless and  irrelevent.
