NEXT OPPONENT: GREEN BAY PACKERS
The first official game at U.S. Bank Stadium will match the rivals in a night game on national TV. Will the stadium have enough beer?
OPPONENT WEEK 1 | Packers 27, Jaguars 23
The sweltering heat in Jacksonville took its toll, but Green Bay kept its cool and won the opener as Aaron Rodgers threw for two touchdowns and ran for another. WR Jordy Nelson, back from a knee injury, had six catches and a touchdown.
What to watch for | Aaron Rodgers, QB
The Vikings won the NFC North last season by beating the Packers in Green Bay in the season finale. Rodgers has No. 1 target Nelson back and looks to spoil the Vikings' big night.
OUTLOOK
With Sam Bradford likely to make his debut as Vikings QB, emotions will be sky high. Outlook: Horns up.
