Green Bay Packers Week 2 Preview

Both the Packers and Vikings have designs of making the playoffs and are expected to be in the running with Chicago for the NFC North crown. Green Bay’s defense was fantastic against the Bears but will get a tougher matchup in this one.

The Vikings feature quarterback Kirk Cousins, running back Dalvin Cook and the star wide receiver duo of Adam Thielen and Stefon Diggs. Minnesota was very impressive in its opener, dominating the Atlanta Falcons to begin the year with a victory. The Vikings kept the ball on the ground the vast majority of the time, and Green Bay will need to prove stout against the run. However, Minnesota can also go to the air so it is not an easy matchup.

The Packers won last time out but their offense was not clicking on all cylinders. Quarterback Aaron Rodgers won’t have an easy go of it for a second week in a row. The Vikings feature some impressive pass-rushers, led by Danielle Hunter as well as a strong linebacker corps. The secondary has some question marks for the Vikings, particularly at cornerback, and Rodgers will aim to take advantage.

Green Bay should be feeling good about getting the early-season win on the road against a tough foe, but new coach Matt LaFleur admitted that it was an ugly victory. The Packers have a superstar quarterback in Rodgers and he needs to get going in this one against Minnesota.

Green Bay has not played up to its usual standard the past two seasons, but it is off to a good start in 2019. The Packers get this game at home, where will they will be favored. A win could give them an early leg up on their main NFC North foes just two weeks into the season, but with the way Minnesota played last time out, it is far from a given.

The oddsmakers believe the Vikings have a slight talent advantage, but the location will make them the underdogs in this showdown.

Green Bay Packers Week 1 Recap

The Packers began the year on “Thursday Night Football” and while it wasn’t the most exciting game, Green Bay doesn’t care one bit after escaping with a 10-3 win over Chicago. Rodgers finished just 18-of-30 for 203 yards and a touchdown. Green Bay only had one impressive drive, but a Jimmy Graham touchdown reception to cap it in the second quarter was enough to hold up.

The Packers defense held Bears signal-caller Mitchell Trubisky to 26-of-45 passing for 228 yards with no touchdowns and an interception. The Green Bay defensive line did a nice job of limiting the run and the Packers racked up five sacks.

Green Bay looked discombobulated offensively early in the game and Rodgers had trouble for a couple series before warming up. He didn’t dominate, but it was clear Chicago could not move the ball efficiently and the Packers were happy to rely on their defense in this one.

Green Bay has long been reliant on the arm of Rodgers, but it will be an intriguing turn of events if the defense can be among the league’s top units in 2019. It was only one game, but it was an impressive start. The offense, though, needs to find a better rhythm because most of their opponents will have a stronger passing game than the Bears showed in the opener.

Past Green Bay Packers Seasons

Perhaps the most well-known NFL franchise, the Packers are located in the smallest major professional sports market in North America. And its’ been that way since before the club joined the NFL in 1921. The Packers won the first of their record 13 NFL championships in 1929, starting an original three-peat that saw them win 34 games in that span. They also won league titles in 1936, 1939 and 1944. A 15-year playoff drought followed their 1944 title, but that would change soon after Vince Lombardi was named head coach in 1959.

In 1960 the Packers returned to the NFL Championship game only to lose to Philadelphia. The next season would bring the seventh title to Green Bay, followed by an eighth in 1962 and a ninth in 1965. The champions from both leagues were set to square off in the inaugural AFL-NFL Championship Game following the 1966 season. Green Bay defeated Dallas for the NFL title and beat Kansas City in what later became known as Super Bowl I. The Pack beat Dallas again the following season and stopped Oakland in Super Bowl II. Lombardi stepped down soon after, winning five titles in his nine seasons and Green Bay became known as Titletown.

For a quarter century after Lombardi’s departure, the Packers experienced little success. From 1968 to 1992 they reached the postseason just twice. However, the acquisition of Brett Favre and the hiring of Mike Holmgren returned the team to its past glory and the Packers have been consistently good since. They won a third Super Bowl title ending the 1996 season and captured their fourth following the 2010 campaign. Since 1993 the Packers have reached the postseason 19 times.

Mike McCarthy coached and won the second-most games in franchise history, taking the team to the playoffs nine times and winning a Super Bowl in his 13 years. But the fire went out and the Packers finished 2018 with back-to-back losing seasons for the first time since the early 1990s, prompting a change at the top.
