MINNEAPOLIS - In a football game unlike any other in Green Bay's previous 101 seasons, the Packers unveiled their plans for a more run-oriented offense in a dominant offensive ground game Sunday at the Minnesota Vikings.
The Packers spread the football throughout a 43-34 win, their second season-opening victory in as many years with coach Matt LaFleur. The final numbers might not indicate how important the run game is now to LaFleur's system, but everything the Packers did on offense Sunday — and they did a lot — centered on the ground.
Aaron Rodgers finished 32-of-44 for 364 yards, four touchdowns and no interceptions, a 127.
