Both teams captured victories in Week 1, with the Packers beating the Jaguars 27-23, and the Vikings defeating the Titans 25-16. It's a trend Jacksonville needs to reverse to avoid a 0-2 start for the fourth time in the last five seasons.

"I just stopped in and said hi to him", Zimmer told the newspaper. "Once I'm back there, I'm just going to let loose", the 2012 NFL MVP cracked in a conference call. "In the National Football League, you're going to have games where it's rough, and we're you're going to look back and see, 'What did I miss?" "So I feel good about where he's at". Zimmer said the Vikings adjusting to a new quarterback shouldn't be used as an excuse for having six times settled for field-goal attempts.

This will be the first game in the new $1.1 billion US Bank Stadium and could play a large part in who wins the NFC North, so it is understandable that Zimmer would want any possible advantage.

"So we'll take it day by day", the coach said. You can see some of his answers below and more in the conversation above.

Of course, the Vikings must plan on playing Bradford soon, but coach Mike Zimmer is not giving any more information than he has to. He said players at all positions have to win "some one-on-one matchups". He didn't deny that playing behind a line retooled this offseason might have played a role in his performance.

"I guess the Viking on the motorcycle is not going to be there, so it will be a little quieter in pregame", said Green Bay quarterback Aaron Rodgers, referring to the former Minnesota mascot. "I personally always think, I've never really seen myself as the guy up on top".

Bill Clinton: Hillary Clinton has 'rarely,' but on occasion, had dehydration spells
Bill Clinton , though, isn't convinced. "They want to talk to me about the last mean thing someone said about Hillary", he said. Clinton downplayed the significance of meetings between his wife and foundation donors.

In our selections for this week, we find that the writing staff as a whole is confident in the Green Bay Packers' ability to go into Minnesota and emerge with a victory over the Vikings.

Would Zimmer really go into that new stadium with Hill starting? That was also without the newly-acquired Sam Bradford, who figures to get the start under center in this game as long as he's all caught up with the playbook.

As for the Packers' offense, they will have a daunting task going against the Vikings superb defense.

The injuries at corner may not have moved the Packers to switch practice squad rookie Herb Waters from wide receiver to cornerback, but it does help them get through practice. "When there was a place to run the ball, Adrian found it, and on a couple of those runs where he squirted out, he had a nine-yard run, he had a seven-yard run". He's back, which will give the offense an opportunity to make a very loud statement of its own Sunday night.

The Vikings announced in August that 60,400 of U.S. Bank Stadium's 66,655 seats were committed for the full season. "But I think that most people if they look at numbers, they'd look at averages instead of total, because that eliminates how many times you've played them".
