5 Things to Watch While Watching

1. Minnesota WR Stefon Diggs surpassed 100 receiving yards, with a 103-yard performance in Week 1. Diggs also tied his career high with seven catches. (Vikings.com)
2. Led by Pro Bowlers LB Anthony Barr, DE Everson Griffen and S Harrison Smith, the Vikings defense stifled the Titans offense, scoring two touchdowns to lead Minnesota to victory. (Vikings.com)
3. RB Adrian Peterson had 31 yards on 19 carries last week as the Titans defense challenged fill-in quarterback Shaun Hill to beat them through the air.
4. The Week 1 Packers offense was deemed "out of sorts" by the coaching staff, and McCarthy, Rodgers and the Packers' offense need to find their rhythm heading into what is sure to be an extremely hostile environment when the Vikings open their new stadium on Sunday night. (Jsonline.com)
5. Rodgers' most efficient performance in week one came when the team went up-tempo to close out the first half - scoring two touchdowns in relatively short order. On what promises to be a fast-track indoor surface, will the Packer receivers get the slivers of daylight they need? Will the new-look offensive line hold up again?

5 Notable Schedule Quirks:

1. The Packers open the season with two road games for the first time since 1924.
2. The first game played at the Vikings brand-new U.S. Bank Stadium will come in week 2 ... against the Packers.
3. The Packers play 3 home games in October, 1 in November and then 4 in December.
4. Of the 16 regular-season contests, 5 are prime-time television viewing.
