Vikes Views: Who Ya Got? Minnesota Vikings at Green Bay Packers

Minnesota Vikings discussion Vikes Views: Who Ya Got? Minnesota Vikings at Green Bay Packers by Craig Williams Nov 13, 2026, 4:45 PM UTC Facebook Link Kirk Cousins leads the Minnesota Vikings into Green Bay to take on the last place Green Bay Packers. The Packers come into the game in good form, particularly quarterback Jordan Love. Love played better against the Vikings defense than anyone else has this year in the Week 1 matchup. A game at home might be exactly what they need to maintain that momentum. That means the Vikings will likely need their returning quarterback, Kirk Cousins, to play well immediately. They will likely need to score more than the average 18 points. Series Record: 62-67-3 Road Record: 28-36-3 Streak: W2 Largest Victory: 42-7, September 28, 1986 Largest Defeat: 45-7, November 14, 2011 27 of the last 48 regular season games in this series have been decided by 7 or fewer points. The NFC North’s 25-9 record is the best any division has had through nine weeks since the 2002 divisional realignment. The Packers come in with the 2nd most pass yards per game in the NFL on offense (279.7); the Minnesota Vikings come in with the 2nd fewest passing yards allowed per game (161.1). The Packers are terrible at running the ball, averaging a league worst 68.2 yards per game. That’s typically the weak spot for the Viking defense. Kirk Cousins is 6-4-1 in his career against the Packers with a 106.7 Passer Rating. Cousins has 14 TDs and 0 INTs in the wins and 5 TDs with 7 INTs in the losses. It’s fitting for Kirk’s first game back to be on the field that ended his time in Minnesota. It’s going to be a tough ask for him to come in and lead this team against a better than average Packers’ defense. Jordan Love had the most success of any quarterback against the Vikings’ defense in Week 1. He’s in better form now than he was then. However, I believe the Vikings will come out fired up. They will be inspired by the return of their captain Kirk Cousins. The team has indicated they’re ready for a Super Bowl run with this defense and it will start on Sunday. The Packers are going down at home and they’ll stay in the basement where they belong. Vikings 23 - Packers 20 GA Skol Star 3h Poll Daily Norseman Who Ya Got?
