Vikings kick and punt return units present ‘tall task’ for Packers special teams

In a must-win matchup with the Minnesota Vikings, the Green Bay Packers kick and punt coverage units will need to fare better the second time around.

In Week 8, when these teams first met this season, Ty Chandler had just one kick return attempt, but it did go for 27 yards. On punts, Brandon Powell averaged over 11 yards per return on three attempts, with a long of 16 yards.

“They got after us a little bit on teams the last time we played them,” said Matt LaFleur of the Vikings special teams unit.
