Denying Daunte

Daunte Culpepper
Culpepper will need time to throw against Green Bay.
The Packers' defense has been phenomenal during the team's 4-1 start, ranking first in the NFC and first overall in scoring defense (10 points a game). Green Bay has yet to face a quarterback like the Vikings' Daunte Culpepper, who can beat teams by throwing and running the ball. Keeping Daunte one-dimensional will be the biggest key for the Pack, according to ESPN's Sean Salisbury, when Minnesota greets Green Bay in the Metrodome on Sunday in Week 6's marquee matchup.
