Why to watch
Christian Ponder makes his NFL starting debut against the defending Super Bowl champions behind a depleted offensive line and on a team with one win. Welcome to the show, rook.
Inside story
Only four teams in the NFL have more three-and-out drives than the Vikings this season, and if they can't sustain drives and move things on the ground, Green Bay might hang 50 points on them. The Vikings are hoping Ponder can keep the chains moving; the Packers can swallow up young QBs.
