The Green Bay Packers can avenge their season-opening loss Sunday when they host the Minnesota Vikings and newly reacquired quarterback Kirk Cousins in a crucial divisional matchup in the tightly contested NFC North. The Vikings (6-2) obtained the 38-year-old Cousins, who played for them for six seasons, from the Las Vegas Raiders on Tuesday after Minnesota failed to score a touchdown in a 23-6 home loss to Buffalo on Monday night that featured a dismal performance by Carson Wentz. Green Bay (6-3) routed New England 45-27 on Sunday for its second consecutive victory behind three touchdown passes from Jordan Love and four takeaways by the defense. When the Packers and Vikings met on Sept. 13 in Minneapolis, the Vikings scored the final 29 points -- including 22 in the fourth quarter -- for a 39-22 victory. The Vikings, who have averaged 15.3 points since Week 1, have dropped two straight after opening with six victories.

Vikings welcome back Cousins with open arms

Is new Vikings general manager Nolan Teasley a firefighter in his spare time?Because the rate at which he extinguished Monday’s dumpster fire, while simultaneously restoring hope and confidence into the team’s fan base by Tuesday afternoon was impressive - almost honorable in the eyes of the fans. Somewhere in the United States, J.J. McCarthy is smiling, and Mike Zimmer is likely fuming following the news of Kirk Cousins' return to the Minnesota Vikings. Everyone else has quickly returned to hopeful and smiling again following a Monday Night Football disaster that forced Teasley to find a solution less than 24 hours out from the trade deadline.The Vikings came full circle by bringing back Cousins in exchange for a 2027 third-round pick. The attempt to salvage a potential championship contender by making this move was absolutely necessary for a team devoid of competent quarterback play.
