Vikings-Packers: NFC North's stars have quite a history

Ryan Longwell has just one photo from his NFL days hanging in his home office in Orlando, Fla. He figures it sums up the rivalry between the Vikings and the Packers.

Longwell was Green Bay's kicker from 1997-2005 before coming to Minnesota to kick for the Vikings from 2006-11. The photo shows Longwell as a Viking at midfield before a Nov. 1, 2009 game in Green Bay alongside new teammate Brett Favre, who quarterbacked the Packers from 1992-2007 before returning to Lambeau Field for the first time as a member of the Vikings.

"We were at the 50-yard line for the coin toss at Lambeau because we had both been made captains," Longwell said.
