The Minnesota Vikings take on the Green Bay Packers this Monday night inside U.S. Bank Stadium. Who are five Vikings players to watch closely in this big game?
This Monday, the Minnesota Vikings will take on their hated divisional rivals with much on the line inside U.S. Bank Stadium.
The Vikings are coming off a big win on the road against the Los Angeles Chargers and they can stay in the running for the NFC North title with a victory over the Green Bay Packers on Monday night.
It will be a tough test for the purple and gold. The Packers have a balanced offense with an all-around excellent running back in Aaron Jones and one of the all-time great quarterbacks, Aaron Rodgers, still slinging the ball around.
Green Bay’s defense is also tough with Preston and Za’Darius Smith wreaking havoc as pass rushers. Minnesota fans can hate them all they want, but the Packers are a talented team this year with plenty of weapons on both sides of the football.
The Vikings are an equally talented team though that also has plenty of weapons on both offense and defense. Minnesota will need their star players to perform at a high level this week if they are going to get the victory.
Who are five Vikings players to watch on Monday against Green Bay that will likely be key factors in the home team getting the win?
