New Packers coach Matt LaFleur retools Packers offense, will get first taste of border battle with Vikings

The Vikings and Packers head into Sunday's game at Lambeau Field well aware they'll need other ways to win besides what got them through Week 1 unscathed.

Three days before the Vikings won throwing the ball 10 times, the Packers won at Chicago with 10 points for the first time since a 2-0 victory on Oct. 16, 1932.

"Each game," said Vikings coach Mike Zimmer with a shrug, "is different."

The 39-year-old offensive wunderkind was hired to revitalize the Packers' offense. To prevent Aaron Rodgers from retiring with only one ring. To bring a youthful NextGen pedigree that meshes some old-school Shanahan two-back with some new-school McVay three-receiver looks.
