A Brief Look At Vikings/Packers History

We've got a quick turnaround this week, so we're getting to this post a little later than usual. We know that these teams have a lot of history, and most of the recent stuff isn't terribly favorable to the Minnesota Vikings. Hopefully that will change on Thursday night.

Once again, all of these figures are brought to you by the folks at Pro Football Reference.

Total Games Between the Vikings and the Packers: 107 (105 regular season, 2 post-season)

Head-to-Head Record: Packers, 56-49-2 (55-48-2 regular season, 1-1 post-season)

Total Vikings Points Scored Head-to-Head: 2,085 (19.5 points/game)

Total Packers Points Scored, Head-to-Head: 2,329 (21.8 points/game)

Once again, we'd go through some of the stats that Vikings' players have put together against the Packers over the years, but. . .well, none of the players that figure to start on Thursday really have a whole lot of stats to speak of. So, we won't.

There's a look back at the history between the Vikings and the Packers. Like I said, hopefully the Vikings will have a more positive page to add to the history book on Thursday night.
