The NFC North division race is heating up as the Green Bay Packers took on the Minnesota Vikings in a 8 match up  Defending division champs, the Green Bay Packers dominated the Minnesota Vikings in a Divisional match up last weekend winning 44-31. The Vikings, who are coming off a strong season last year, were looking to get themselves back into the divisional race at home against the cheese heads.  The Minnesota Vikings are struggling to move the ball on offense. The Vikes can't seem to move the ball through the air with their plethora of  average quarterbacks, which is leading to the struggles of star running back Adrian Peterson. The Vikings fell to 1-6 on the season while the Packers took over the Division lead, going 5-2 through the first 8 weeks of the season. The Packers cruised with stellar play by Aaron Rodgers and emerging running back Eddie Lacy.
