Christian Ponder makes his first start for the Minnesota Vikings as they face the Green Bay Packers in NFL Week 7
The Vikings secondary was already going to have a very tough time against Aaron Rodgers and the Packers' passing game with Antoine Winfield injured, but things got a whole lot worse on Friday. They found out that they'll be without cornerback Chris Cook, on account of him getting arrested on a domestic violence charge. The Metrodome is never a friendly place for the Packers to play, but the current circumstances are going to make the visitors heavy favorites.
