EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. -- After winning five straight games and pulling ahead of Green Bay in the NFC North on Sunday, the Minnesota Vikings have arrived at their biggest game with their rival in three seasons. And they are kicking off the first day of Packers Week in bold style.
Vikings players returned from Oakland on Monday morning to find black T-shirts in their lockers with the team's and the NFC North's logos on the front. The back of the shirts read, "Beat Green Bay," in all capital letters.
"It's not so much this game, but it's as far how the season is going -- what we've got going and how much more serious it's going to get," wide receiver Stefon Diggs said.
