T.J. Lang will forever be remembered as a member of the Green Bay Packers despite ending his career with the Detroit Lions. While speaking about the Packers' upcoming schedule, Lang claimed that players drank booze in the Lambeau parking lot after a blowout victory over the Minnesota Vikings.
RE: prime time games.. once stayed in the Lambeau parking lot until 4AM drinking beers after we kicked the Vikings ass.

The game between the Vikings and Packers that Lang is speaking about came in Week 5 of the 2014 season. On a warm Thursday night, Green Bay would host the Vikings, putting the game out of reach from the moment the game began.
Over the course of the game, Aaron Rodgers was incredibly efficient for the Packers, throwing for just 156 yards and three touchdowns. On the other hand, Christian Ponder had a forgettable performance under center for the Vikings. Ponder would finish the game with 222 yards and two interceptions.

The NFC North matchup got out of hand to the point where Green Bay was able to rest their starters to begin the fourth quarter. As a matter of fact, Matt Flynn was able to attempt five passes, throwing an interception on one of them.
Without a doubt, the 2014 season was a successful one for Lang and the Packers despite losing in the NFC Championship Game. Even though Green Bay couldn't bring home the Lombardi Trophy in 2014, the team seemed like a tight-knit group, drinking beers into the early morning after games.
