About Minnesota Vikings vs. Green Bay Packers

Few rivalries in the NFL carry the history this one does, and an early-season Sunday meeting between these two division foes always draws a divided, loud crowd. Fans travel in from across the upper Midwest, many wearing decades-old jerseys, and the tailgating starts hours before the doors open. Expect chants, old grudges aired again, and a stadium split almost evenly down the middle.

About Minnesota Vikings

Minnesota joined the NFL as an expansion team in 1961, the name chosen to reflect the strong Scandinavian heritage of the Twin Cities. The Vikings reached four Super Bowls between the 1969 and 1976 seasons behind the fearsome 'Purple People Eaters' defensive line, losing all four, and the franchise remains one of just a handful of teams never to win the title outright.

Running back Adrian Peterson's record-setting rushing seasons in the 2000s and 2010s kept Minnesota competitive without ever ending that long drought. The Vikings play at U.S. Bank Stadium, a striking glass-and-steel downtown venue that opened in 2016, and the franchise's purple-and-gold colours remain among the most distinctive in the league.

Minnesota Vikings records & quirks

  • As a rookie, Adrian Peterson set the NFL single-game rushing record with 296 yards, against San Diego in 2007.
  • Peterson's 11,747 career rushing yards and 97 rushing touchdowns are both Vikings franchise records.
  • Kicker Will Reichard's 62-yard field goal is the longest in franchise history, and tied for fifth-longest ever.
