Vikings vs. Packers, NFL regular season, Week 4

It’s time for the 128th border clash between the Minnesota Vikings and the Green Bay Packers.

The 3-0 Vikings are headed to their first NFC North match of the season against the 2-1 Packers, who are returning starting quarterback Jordan Love after being without him the past two weeks. This should be an exciting duel between two talented, well-coached teams aiming to win the division this year.

Although Love returns, most of the other injury news in this game favors the Vikings. They bring back Jordan Addison and Dallas Turner, increasing their depth on both sides of the ball. The Packers will be without top cornerback Jaire Alexander and another CB in Carrington Valentine, which means their top corners Eric Stokes, Corey Ballentine and Keisean Nixon for the Vikings’ talented WR trio of Justin Jefferson, Addison and Jalen Nailor.

Sam Darnold’s strong start and Aaron Jones’ return to Lambeau Field are among the key storylines for a Vikings offense going up against a good Packers defense. On the other side of the ball, the chess game with Love and Matt LaFleur against the Vikings’ red-hot Brian Flores-led defense will be fascinating.

6:47 – The Packers ran the ball well on their first drive, but the ball ended with a 37-yard field goal attempt that Brayden Narveson failed at the right upright. This is a great start for Minnesota.

11:53 — Just like that, the Vikings are off to a perfect start again. Sam Darnold hit Jalen Nailor for 31 yards on 3rd-and-14 and then hit Jordan Addison for a 29-yard touchdown on the next play. Both guys were very open. Here’s how to create it.
