Monday Night Football Schedule: Aaron Rodgers Leads Green Bay Packers in NFC North Battle with Minnesota Vikings

The Green Bay Packers will begin the Aaron Rodgers era Monday night as they host the Minnesota Vikings at Lambeau Field at 7:00 p.m. ET, the first of two Monday Night Football games to begin the NFL season.

 

Rodgers won the position as starting quarterback for the Packers after Brett Favre retired following the end of last season. Favre expressed a desire to come back to the Packers but the organization said they had moved on and were handing the reigns to Rodgers. Green Bay then traded Favre to the New York Jets, ending any chance the three-time MVP would wear the Packers jersey again.

 

Coming off a 13-3 regular season in 2007 there are a lot of questions surrounding the Packers ability to thrive without Favre. Rodgers will be looking to silence those doubts against the Vikings.

 

Minnesota is looking to bounce back from a disappointing end to 2007 when they lost their final two games and missed the NFC playoffs with an 8-8 record. Much of their success has been placed on the shoulders of quarterback Tarvaris Jackson who will have his strained right knee tested as the Packers defense will almost certainly pressure the third-year QB.

 

Adrian Peterson will likely get a number of touches and the Vikings are hoping to see the running back that set the NFL single game rushing record rather than the Peterson that struggled after returning from a knee injury.

 

In Monday Night Football's second game the Denver Broncos will face the Oakland Raiders at 10:15 p.m. ET.
