All three of the Minnesota Vikings’ NFC North divisional counterparts were in action during the first Sunday of the 2017 NFL regular season.

Even though the 2017 NFL regular season technically kicked off last Thursday, Sunday’s slate of games felt more like an official start to this year’s regular season.

Among the 12 matchups that took place on Sunday, three featured teams from the same NFC North division that includes the Minnesota Vikings. The Chicago Bears took on a tough Atlanta Falcons team, the Detroit Lions faced off against the Arizona Cardinals, and the Green Bay Packers had their annual matchup against the Seattle Seahawks.

How did each team fare in their Week 1 games and how will it impact the rest of the Vikings’ 2017 season?
