Cheese Curds, 9/8: Packers open in Jacksonville for second time in 5 years

In 2016, the Green Bay Packers opened their season in Jacksonville, beating the Jaguars 27-23. In 2011, the Packers began the year at home against the New Orleans Saints, recording a 42-34 victory.

This year, they will reprise both of those season openers in different ways as they head to TIAA Bank Field to play the Saints, with the game being moved out of New Orleans due to Hurricane Ida. This is something the Saints have gone through before, however, as they played outside of New Orleans for the entire 2005 season, when Hurricane Katrina hit the area.
