Cheese Curds, 9/13: Packers' defense wants respect, Rodgers' struggles against Zimmer's units

Defense will be the name of the game on Sunday Night. The Green Bay Packers and Minnesota Vikings will square off in the first regular season game at U.S. Bank Stadium, and both Mike Zimmer's and Dom Capers' charges will be looking to make a statement. Zimmer's Vikings of course hope to contain Aaron Rodgers - something Zimmer has done as well or better than just about any other coordinator or coach over the last decade. Meanwhile, the Packers will look to maintain their strong run defense and improve the pass D against whichever quarterback starts for the Vikings.
