Packers vs. Vikings: Rants & Raves

The Green Bay Packers have known they would be the Minnesota Vikings' first opponent in their new home at U.S. Bank Stadium in downtown Minneapolis. When the schedule came out, many circled this game as one of the most intriguing and challenging for the Packers in 2016. Over two weeks ago, the landscape of this game changed when the Vikings lost starting quarterback Teddy Bridgewater for the season to a knee injury. The Vikings offense isn't the same whether it's Shaun Hill or recently-acquired Sam Bradford (Bradford took first team reps this week in practice). But their defense is what won them their week one game and while it was "just" the Tennessee Titans, the Minnesota defense turned in a very good day at the office.
