Minnesota Vikings at Green Bay Packers: First Quarter Recap and Second Quarter Discussion

Minnesota Vikings at Green Bay Packers: First Quarter Recap and Second Quarter Discussion

We have made it through the first quarter of play at Lambeau Field, and your Minnesota Vikings trail the Green Bay Packers by a score of 7-3.

The Vikings got the football first, as the Packers won the coin toss and deferred to the second half. J.J. McCarthy led the offense onto the field, and for the first time this season he lined up behind the starting offensive line the Vikings had envisioned on Day 1. Aaron Jones got the first two touches of the game, carrying it twice for 16 yards, and McCarthy then found Justin Jefferson for a...

SB Nation Reacts Results: No Benching (for now)

SB Nation Reacts Results: No Benching (for now)

We’re on the eve of the first of this year’s Border Battles against the Green Bay Packers, so let’s take a quick look at the results of our SB Nation Reacts questions for this week about our Minnesota Vikings.

As always, our first question this week was about whether or not our readers feel that the purple are moving in the right direction. I expected a drop-off this week, and while I was right in that regard, I’m pleasantly surprised that the drop wasn’t quite as large as I was expecting it to be.

Of our respondents, 32% feel that...

HATE WEEK IS HERE! Vikings vs Packers Lambeau Invasion

HATE WEEK IS HERE! Vikings vs Packers Lambeau Invasion

In the latest fire-filled episode of Two Old Bloggers on Vikings 1st & SKOL, Darren Campbell and Dave Stefano don’t hold back on why Kwesi Adofo-Mensah’s massive 2025 offseason spending spree — Jonathan Allen, Javon Hargrave, Will Fries, Ryan Kelly and more — looks like a bust through ten games (or at least not what was expected), why benching J.J. McCarthy for Max Brosmer is a terrible idea, and how the suddenly healthy offensive line and a waking-up Dallas Turner give Minnesota faint hope. Then Drew Bunting storms in for the always-electric “Inside The Numbers” preview of the 130th Border...

It’s Must-Win Time for the Vikings at Lambeau

It’s Must-Win Time for the Vikings at Lambeau

The time has come. The time is now.

This Sunday, the Minnesota Vikings will battle the Green Bay Packers at Lambeau Field. The Week 12 matchup holds the fate of the 2025 Minnesota Vikings season. At 4-6, there is little room for error if the Vikings want to have a chance of vying for a playoff spot. A win against the Green Bay Packers would go a long way, and improve the Vikings’ division record to 3-1.

The only thing that is keeping Minnesota afloat in the playoff rankings is that divisional record, which could have a tremendous impact...

Vikings Make Handful of Roster Moves Ahead of Green Bay Game

Vikings Make Handful of Roster Moves Ahead of Green Bay Game

With less than twenty-four hours to go before they kick things off against the Green Bay Packers at Lambeau Field, the Minnesota Vikings have made a handful of last-minute moves.

First, the team has added center Ryan Kelly to the 53-man roster without an injury designation, meaning that he is likely in line to start tomorrow against Green Bay. The Vikings had placed Kelly on injured reserve following his second concussion of the season back in Week 4, and opened his practice window ahead of last week’s game against Chicago.

If Kelly does start. . .and all indications at this...

Minnesota Vikings News and Links: We Shall Wait For The Cement To Dry

FTP! There is going to be plenty of “debate” about the QB the rest of this season. I kind of wish that KOC and JJ would keep more things “in-house” and not offer too many details about what they are working on. He is going to need time is all it is. There are no shortcuts. The flashes are there to give plenty of hope. But patience is hard to come by at times. What to do? Mock!

Five Good Questions with Acme Packing Company

We’re inching closer to Sunday, folks, and that means it’s time for us to get some intel from the other side. We’re talking to the folks who run the SB Nation site for the Minnesota Vikings’ opponent this week, and that means we’re talking to Acme Packing Company, the home of everything relating to the Green Bay Packers on our network.

Yours truly had the opportunity to exchange questions with Justis Mosqueda, one of the writers over at APC, as we head into what feels like one of the least-hyped Border Battles in quite some time. They have not posted...

Vikings vs Packers Preview: Can Everything Click In?

Can a struggling 2025 Vikings team upset the Packers at Lambeau and keep their minuscule playoff dreams alive? In the latest episode of The Real Forno Show, Tyler Forness and producer Dave Stefano deliver a no-holds-barred breakdown of Minnesota’s must-win Week 12 clash against Green Bay. With QB J.J. McCarthy’s mechanics under fire, a surprising roster cut, and a battered Packers offense, this episode perfectly captures the tension of Packers Hate Week.

Here’s what Tyler and Dave tackled in this fiery episode:
