3. How should the Vikings attack the Packers in Week 2 in order to have the best chance to come away with a win?

The easy answer here is pressure Aaron Rodgers but I’ll go with slowing down running backs Aaron Jones and Jamaal Williams.

A big part of the Packers’ issues in 2018 were that they were very one-dimensional on offense. But under LaFleur, the running game or at least the illusion of the running game is an important part in making this new offense go.

Although the offense struggled for the most part in Chicago, they did find success, especially on their touchdown drive, with play-action and misdirection plays. Establishing the run is going to be important for Green Bay to open up the passing game, so if Minnesota can slow that down it will make life much more difficult for the Green Bay offense.
