Vikings Will Face Packers on First Monday Night of 2008 Season
Posted by: danzinski
The NFL has given the Vikings and Packers the honor of playing the first game of the now-customary season-opening Monday Night Football double-header this year.
The game will be played at Lambeau Field at 6 p.m. September 8. It will mark the beginning of the Aaron Rodgers era in Green Bay…assuming Brett Favre hasn’t returned from retirement by then.
This will mark the second time the Vikes have been featured on MNF’s opening night double-header, the first being that game against the Redskins two years ago that the Vikes shocked everyone by winning.
By the way: The Vikings are 3-2 all-time in season-opening games against the Packers. It’ll be nice to jump out to a one-game lead over the Cheeseheads so early.
