The rivalry between the Minnesota Vikings and the Green Bay Packers is one that has been going on since the merger in 1967. And although the history between the two teams is rich and competitive, the importance of games between the squads isn’t lost on the youngest of players.
With their second round draft pick this season, the Vikings selected linebacker Eric Kendricks out of UCLA. Without knowing it, the rookie has already entrenched himself into the rivalry. While every game matters, there are some that just seem to be more important to the fan base and franchise than others.
