Week 4 of the 2024 NFL season is underway and Sunday's slate of games will feature a matchup between the 3-0 Minnesota Vikings and 2-1 Green Bay Packers in a game that will have serious implications on the NFC North.
The game will be played at Lambeau Field in Green Bay, Wisconsin, and will be the next chapter in the border battle between the Vikings and Packers. The two teams have a long history, with Green Bay leading the all-time series 66-58-3.
Over the last six meetings, each team has been victorious three times. There always seems to be a little more drama in the NFL when these two teams go head-to-head, but knowing what to expect from the television broadcast can increase the viewing enjoyment.

It won't just be the announcers that could have a huge impact on the enjoyment of this game. The officials could play a part in how the game flows and possibly the outcome, if things get a little funky on the field.
Here is the officiating crew assigned to the Vikings and Packers in Week 4 according to Football Zebras:
R: Tra Blake
U: Carl Paganelli
DJ: Patrick Turner
LJ: Tom Eaton
FJ: Mearl Robinson
SJ: Don Willard
BJ: Grantis Bell

For those wondering, replay assistant Tim Robinson is not the comedian of I Think You Should Leave and Detroiters fame. Although that could make for a very entertaining replay break, he is not likely to break into any fun sketches during the television broadcast.
Tra Blake is fairly new to being a head official and this is his third year as a referee. Vikings fans will know him from being the official for the biggest comeback in NFL history when Minnesota rallied to overcome a 33-point defecit against the Indianapolis Colts on December 17, 2022.
