Green Bay has never won inside U.S. Bank Stadium

Back in the second week of the 2016 season, the Vikings took on the Packers during the first-ever regular season game inside U.S. Bank Stadium. Minnesota walked away from that matchup with a win and they’ve been victorious in their other two matchups in the building against Green Bay since then as well.

The Vikings have only faced the Packers inside U.S. Bank Stadium three times, but each game has still produced a number of memorable moments.

2016’s matchup was the debut of Sam Bradford as Minnesota’s starting quarterback, 2017’s meeting is one that Aaron Rodgers will never forget thanks to Anthony Barr breaking his collarbone, and last year’s game was Kirk Cousins’ first primetime win in a Vikings uniform.
