It'll also be the 112th time these two teams have met. The Packers currently lead the series 59-50-2. The rivalry first began in 1961, the first year the Vikings played in the NFL.

Both teams began the seasons with wins, with quarterback Shaun Hill and the Vikings scoring two defensive touchdowns and a few field goals to beat the Tennessee Titans on the road. The Packers defeated the Jacksonville Jaguars with a big 4th down stop with 16 seconds to go.
