Minnesota Vikings at Green Bay Packers

Green Bay wide receiver Christian Watson pulled down an 81-yard touchdown pass from Jordan Love in Week at Minnesota. It was the longest scoring play for either player. Watson and Matthew Golden sit near the top of major receiving categories, ranking third (879 yards) and fourth (783 yards), respectively, in receiving yards. Watson leads the NFL with 17 catches of 20-plus yards, while both players lead the league with five 40-plus yard receptions. (Greg Mellis | Green & Gold Express)

History: The Vikings and Packers have a rivalry that dates all the way back to 1961. The Packers lead the all-time series 67-62-3.

The last time these two teams met, it was the first game of the regular season. The Packers took an early lead thanks to an 81-yard-touchdown by Christian Watson early in the game. They led 22-10 in the fourth quarter when a controversial decision by Matt LaFleur to take a field goal off the board backfired. The Vikings would score 29 unanswered points from there as Jordan Love was snowed under by Minnesota’s elite defense led by coordinator Brian Flores.

LaFleur has struggled a little more with the Vikings in his career. He is 3-6 against Kevin O’Connell in the meetings between the two coaches.

Coaches: Packers, Matt LaFleur, eighth season, 81-42-1. Vikings, Kevin O’Connell, fifth season, 49-26.

When cornerback Brandon Cisse was drafted by Packers in 2026, the position was considered the top need going into the 2026 season. The second-round pick has started in every game for the Packers this season. He has 26 solo tackles on the season and one interception against the Cowboys. He has been unusually effective as a defensive back blitzer, tallying 1.5 sacks and multiple quarterback pressures. According to Sports Illustrated, it didn’t take long for him to emerge as a no-doubt-about-it starter. (Greg Mellis | Green & Gold Express)
