It’s a long-fought, bitter rivalry between two teams that have tended to ebb and flow together. The Green Bay Packers and Minnesota Vikings have remained close in their all-time record against one another in large part because of that parity that has seemingly existed between the two franchises for decades.
This year, however, things look very different. The Packers are riding high, sitting in pole position atop the NFC after seven weeks. Aaron Rodgers is leading a resurgent Green Bay offense while the defense has done enough to slow down opponents and help the team post two-possession final margins in four of their five wins.
