Monday night’s showdown between the Green Bay Packers and Las Vegas Raiders provides a rematch of Super Bowl II, a game Vince Lombardi’s Packers won 33-14 at the Orange Bowl in Miami.
After Super Bowl II, the Raiders won five straight games in the series between 1972 and 1987. Since 1990, the Packers have won eight straight games. Overall, the Packers lead the series 9-5.
While there’s a historical twist to Packers-Raiders, Monday night’s contest also provides layers upon layers on interesting connections between the two teams.
Let’s run them all down:
— Raiders WR Davante Adams will face the Packers, his former team, for the first time since the March 2022 trade.
