The Green Bay Packers (1-0) are coming from a 27-23 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 1.
Dom Capers, the defensive coordinator for the Green Bay Packers, has made a habit of shutting down the Vikings offense and over the last two seasons has been the stopper of Vikings offensive rhythm.
After that, the Packers won four straight Sunday night contests vs. the Vikings before dropping last season’s Week 17 division-title showdown at Lambeau Field.
The Vikings lost starter Teddy Bridgewater during training-camp and Shaun Hill started the opener at Tennessee last week.
With little time to settle in, Bradford has a tough task on his hands but the 2008 Heisman victor is capable of taking on the Packers.
Join APC to follow along with the first half of Sunday night’s Green Bay-Minnesota tilt.
WENTZ’S WONDERFUL START: Philadelphia rookie quarterback CARSON WENTZ passed for 278 yards and two touchdowns in the Eagles’ 29-10 victory against Cleveland on Kickoff Weekend.
It’s here-and you all know how we are defining “it’s”.
Minnesota was rescued by its defense in its 25-16 win at Tennessee, with Hill throwing for 233 yards on 18-of-33 and Peterson managing only 31 yards rushing on 19 carries.

However, even though he departed the field with the help of trainers, he returned to the game and continued to tease the Bills’ defense.
Marshall said after the game: “I thought I was done”. Quarterback Aaron Rodgers ran for a score and threw 2 touchdowns, including one to Jordy Nelson, who missed almost all of 2015. The big question going into the game is who will take the snap. In less than a half with the Vikings, he’s already been sacked twice and hit six times.
