Few wins are more sweet than those over a bitter rival. For the Green Bay Packers (2-0), who earned consecutive victories in such fashion with a win over the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday, the 2019 season could not have begun much better.
A string of defensive holds and Vikings penalties paved the way to a Packers win at Lambeau Field. One of those penalties in particular caught the ire of Vikings Head Coach Mike Zimmer after the game and proved to be a monumental play in the game. From a Minnesota perspective, there were several more plays that also led to the team’s demise in week two.
