Who are five Minnesota Vikings players to watch when they head out on the road to take on the rival Green Bay Packers this Sunday?
The Minnesota Vikings are 1-0 this season and feeling good after their impressive performance in their opening game against the Atlanta Falcons last Sunday. For their second matchup of 2019, the Vikings will travel to Green Bay to take on the hated Packers.
Minnesota had quite a few guys who stood out during that first contest. Dalvin Cook was running the football like a man possessed, the pass rush was in high gear with guys like Danielle Hunter, Everson Griffen, and Anthony Barr forcing Matt Ryan to throw the ball much sooner than he wanted to, and Anthony Harris was a stud with two interceptions that helped keep the game out of reach.
The Packers are always a tough test for the Vikings as these teams are very familiar with each other.
There are loads of Minnesota players who will be key to winning this game on Sunday. But who are five members of the Vikings’ roster that should be watched closely during their rivalry game against the putrid green and gold this week?
