Historically, when you’re in a rhythm things happen.

Packers vs Vikings (live stream and scores here) Sunday Night Football: Green Bay Packers vs. Minnesota Vikings in Week 2 of the 2016 NFL regular season takes place on Sunday night at 8:30 PM ET gets underway at the U.S. Bank Stadium, Minneapolis, Minnesota.
Waynes was filling in for the injured Xavier Rhodes and Rodger targeted the second-year corner all game long. Rodgers is a renowned escape artist in the pocket, with some of his best moments on the move when plays break down and he’s able to improvise. “Diggs made some big catches”.
Despite Mike Zimmer’s early silence regarding who Minnesota’s starting quarterback would be, reports in the last couple of days are suggesting Sam Bradford has won the job he was signed to do. “We just need to figure out what that identity is”. As the game grew closer, the world’s largest pivoting glass doors opened on the west side of the stadium to allow almost 67,000 fans to stream in, and the Vikings showed a video featuring Thor Bjornsson – The Mountain from “Game of Thrones” – who helped introduce a new cheer based on an Icelandic war chant.
History suggested the Packers would spoil the Vikings’ party Sunday night, but in the end it was the Vikings who looked like the better team. The Vikings paid Favre handsomely in 2009; they gave up a first and a conditional fourth-round pick to acquire Bradford.
Then Zimmer reiterated that he needs to hear how the MRI goes. He threw nine straight times, completing passes of 19 yards to Kyle Rudolph and 12 yards to Thielen.
The seven-time Pro Bowl player, who had been nursing an ankle injury prior to the game, was unproductive before he limped off, finishing with 19 yards on 12 attempts.
Bradford finished 22-31 for 286 yards and 2 touchdowns.
Minnesota Vikings running back Adrian Peterson has been ruled out for the rest of the team’s game against the Green Bay Packers with a right knee injury. For the dime, Micah Hyde likely comes in to play the other slot position. And he followed that up with a nice little TD celebration in which he mimicked someone “digging” in the endzone.
But the game once again belongs to the defense. In a year where the Vikings have already lost Teddy Bridgewater, they’ll have to hope they avoided the worst with Peterson.
It’s still early, of course, but the victor of tonight’s Packers-Vikings showdown at U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis tonight will have sole possession of first place in the NFC North after just two weeks. The pair still needs to get their timing down as twice the ball was coming into Rudolph before he expected it to be there.
There was a very scary scene in the first half of Sunday’s early games as well.

Twitter is indeed streaming a a number of NFL games, but only Thursday Night Football games, and not all of them. They got one, and they cashed in on the opportunity. Erving cramped late in the game and had discomfort in his upper body. Unfortunately that prospect leads to the passing game having less success.
