It has been six years since the Vikings won at Lambeau Field, and coincidentally 2009 was their last division championship.
This decade the NFC North has been Green Bay's domain, with quarterback Aaron Rodgers the emperor and Minnesota its serfs.
The Packers' four-year reign atop the division is at stake Sunday night in the 111th matchup between border rivals, a nationally televised Week 17 showdown that will punctuate the NFL playoff bracket.
The winner claims the No. 3 seed in the NFC and a home wild-card game next weekend. The loser is banished to the road for the first round.
