What to know when the Vikings host the Green Bay Packers on Sunday night:Packers at VikingsWhen: 7:20 p.m. SundayWhere: U.S. Bank StadiumTV: KARE Ch. 11Radio: KFXN-FM 100.3Line: Vikings – 1.0Over/Under: 43.5Keys for the Vikings— More than anything the Vikings need to take care of the ball this weekend. It’s why Josh Dobbs got benched. It’s why Nick Mullens got benched. Now it’s on rookie Jaren Hall to effectively run the offense without giving the ball away to the other team. If he can do that, he’ll give the Vikings a pretty good chance against the Packers.— This could be a game that Justin Jefferson completely takes over as the best player on the field. He was dominant last weekend in a losing effort to the Detroit Lions. He could be even better this weekend against the Packers. The absence of cornerback Jaire Alexander due to a suspension very much works in Jefferson’s favor.Keys for the Packers— There should be chances for quarterback Jordan Love to...

Judge Jesse Furman had also asked what role, if any, Cohen played in drafting the motion.The AI-generated cases were cited as part of written arguments attorney David M. Schwartz made to try to bring an early end to Cohen’s court supervision after he served more than a year behind bars. Cohen had pleaded guilty in 2018 to tax evasion, campaign finance charges and lying to Congress, saying Trump directed him to arrange the payment of hush money to a porn actor and to...
