The Green Bay Packers’ 2022 regular season opener is just days away. It doesn’t get much bigger than this as they are prepared to play one of their biggest rivals in the Minnesota Vikings, who are also presumably their biggest threat to the NFC North crown.
The Packers have won the division three straight years under head coach Matt LaFleur. Meanwhile, the Vikings would love to hold that distinguished title for the first time since 2017. Their hope is that the hiring of Kevin O’Connell to lead a talented offense will produce a similar result to the one LaFleur had at the start of his regime in 2019.
