Week 16

Opponent: at Green Bay Packers
2016 Record: 10-6

Getting a win at Lambeau Field in December is never an easy task. Similarly, playing against Aaron Rodgers in playoff form is not easy either.  The Vikings actually played the Packers in week 16 last year and lost 25-38.

They did beat the Packers in week 2 though. The Vikings won that one 17-14  in their home opener. They will look to build on that because beating the Packers twice in 2017 will give them a big advantage in the NFC North standings.
