What are the top three storylines for the Green Bay Packers in their divisional game against the Minnesota Vikings in Week 2?

The Green Bay Packers earned a victory in a close game against the Chicago Bears last week, and they’ll look to win consecutive games for the first time since the 2017 season against the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday. Ahead of an interesting divisional showdown, what are the top three storylines for Green Bay?

Coincidentally, these two teams met at Lambeau Field in Week 2 last season. The Packers looked to have the game in the bag when Jaire Alexander picked off Kirk Cousins, only for Clay Matthews to be flagged for a controversial roughing the passer penalty. The Vikings fought back to take the game into overtime, and the Packers needed a missed field goal to earn a tie.

This will be the first battle between head coach Matt LaFleur and Mike Zimmer, and also LaFleur’s first game with the Packers at Lambeau Field. It’s all set to be an interesting game, and also an important one that will mean a lot in the NFC North standings later in the year. Considering the importance of home divisional games, the Packers need to win this one.

Let’s take a look at the top three storylines for the Packers in Week 2 against the Vikings.
