Packers at Vikings Live Stream: Watch NFL Online
By David Mamola
The Green Bay Packers face the Minnesota Vikings at U.S. Bank Stadium on Sunday night. Here’s all the info you need to watch live on TV or streaming.
It’s a divisional showdown on Sunday Night Football this week, as the Green Bay Packers (1-0) take on the Minnesota Vikings (1-0) in primetime. The Packers escaped 100-degree weather last week to beat the Jacksonville Jaguars 27-23 in their season opener. The Vikings also won their season opener, beating the Tennessee Titans on the road 25-16.

While Packers’ quarterback Aaron Rodgers didn’t put up monster stats last week (20-34, 199 yards, three total touchdowns), he had his fair share of magical plays, including escaping pressure to fire a six-yard touchdown to Jordy Nelson, and somehow getting off a 29-yard touchdown pass with a Jacksonville defender drenched all over him.
For the Vikings, despite a dismal performance from their star running back Adrian Peterson (19 carries, 31 yards) and an average outing from quarterback Shaun Hill, the team was still able to put up 25 points thanks to their defense. A 77-yard pick-six by Eric Kendricks, and a 24-yard fumble return for a touchdown by Danielle Hunter highlighted the day for the defense.
The Vikings offense will need to play a lot better in Week 2 if they want to match points with the explosive Packers’ offense. The big question for the Vikings this week is if Shaun Hill will get another start, or if recently acquired Sam Bradford will make his Minnesota debut. The team has said that they will not announce the starter until Sunday, so stay tuned!
Last year’s matchups between the two team were pretty even, as both teams lost their home game but won their road game. The two teams are hated rivals, so this is a must-watch game. Luckily, there are many ways to watch. You can tune in to NBC, live stream the game on NBC Sports Live, and follow along on NFL.com.
