Minnesota Vikings vs Green Bay in Week 2: The Packers perspective
By Adam Carlson
5) What should be the most intriguing matchup (players or units) during this Week 2 contest?
Jaire Alexander and Josh Jackson versus Stefon Diggs and Adam Thielen. Can these two young corners cause some disruption with, perhaps the best one-two punch in all of the NFL? It is a very tall task to ask in only week two of the NFL season. How those two play on Sunday, will go a long way in determining the outcome of this game.
While rushing the passer can certainly help, I just don’t see it from the Packers at this point. The two young darlings will have their hands full on Sunday. A great test and a future glimpse into this rivalry.
BONUS: What is your prediction for an outcome and final score?
Green Bay needed a heroic performance to win on Sunday Night against the up and coming Bears. On Sunday, they will be tasked with beating the defending NFC North Champions, in the Minnesota Vikings. From top-to-bottom, the Vikings are the better team. Green Bay will likely have a less than 100% Rodgers, or no Rodgers at all. For this reason alone, I’m taking the Vikings.
