5 Packers players the Vikings should worry about in Week 1
By Nik Edlund
Which Green Bay Packers players should the Minnesota Vikings worry about in Week 1?
It’s hard to believe and actually comprehend, but Week 1 of the NFL season is here. The Minnesota Vikings now shift their focus to the division rival Green Bay Packers for a huge opening day contest.
The Packers are the defending NFC North champions and last season, they benefited greatly from a strong running game in addition to an explosive defensive front seven that wreaked havoc on opposing offensive lines.
Green Bay is relatively the same as they were a year ago as they didn’t add any impact players through free agency or the draft this offseason. The Vikings now have a young group of cornerbacks and they will no longer have an offense that features Stefon Diggs.
It’ll be an interesting matchup on Sunday and one that will set the stage for the battle for the NFC North this season. Before things kick off this weekend, let’s look at a few Packers players Minnesota should be most concerned about.
