Packers’ 2016 Schedule Preview, Vol. 2: Minnesota Vikings

Green Bay will be the first opponent to open up Minnesota’s new stadium, doing so in prime time in week two. Here’s a look at what happened in the Twin Cities this offseason.

We continue with our breakdown of the Green Bay Packers’ 2016 opponents with a look at the second team on the docket: the Minnesota Vikings.

In 2015, the Vikings came from behind to thwart the Packers’ quest for a fourth straight NFC North title, instead winning at Lambeau Field in week 17 to win the division and earn a home playoff game. That contest resulted in a loss to the Seattle Seahawks, with Blair Walsh missing a potentially game-winning field goal with just seconds remaining on the clock.
