@ Minnesota Vikings
With first-year head coach Kevin O’Connell taking over for Mike Zimmer, the Minnesota Vikings will have a new offensive identity for the Packers to experience firsthand. Kirk Cousins, Dalvin Cook, and Justin Jefferson are all back to help raise this team out of mediocrity, and they pose the most challenging threat to the Packers not being able to repeat in the division.
A more pass-heavy approach is likely for Minnesota to take on, highlighting the importance of Jaire Alexander and Eric Stokes immediately. The improved LB core, including rookie Quay Walker, will need to shut down Cook in the trenches, and the always-suspect MIN offensive line will face a tall task against Kenny Clark and rookie Devonte Wyatt.
