Week 2 vs the Green Bay Packers
The focus shifts to next week and the inaugural game at US Bank Stadium is upon us and so is a familiar foe, the Green Bay Packers. If the game plays out in similar fashion to this week, the results will not be the same. If Minnesota cannot execute a passing attack, not allowing the running game to come to fruition will be the Vikings undoing.
Stefon Diggs did go over the coveted 100 yard mark and Kyle Rudolph provided a nice little outlet for Hill so there is some basis for hope. It just needs to be better. The hopes of Vikings fans cannot rest solely on the shoulders of the Vikings defense for that is too much weight to bear. The Vikings coaches know what the team needs to do to be prepared, so it’s up to the Vikings to execute again. I stand firm in my pick: Vikings 27 Packers 24.
