The Minnesota Vikings faced off against the Green Bay Packers at Lambeau Field in Week 2 of the 2018 NFL season where some good and bad things happened.

The border battle between the Minnesota Vikings and Green Bay Packers is always one of the most entertaining times of the year. Although it can only happen two to three times per season, these matchups are always interesting to watch.

The first of those games for the 2018 NFL season happened on Sunday, Sept. 16, 2018 and featured the headline of a banged up Aaron Rodgers facing off against the team who put him on the shelf last year.

However, the real narrative of this game is the NFC North. The winner would have a significant advantage when the division winner is named at the end of the season. Sadly, the game ended in a 29-29 tie after neither team could win the game in overtime and any divisional tiebreaker between the two teams will now rest on the Week 12 head-to-head matchup if they end the regular season with identical records.

Before looking ahead to next week, let’s take a look at what happened in Week 2 as the Minnesota Vikings visited Lambeau Field to take on the Green Bay Packers starting with the things the boys in purple did well but following up with the bad and interesting things!
