What is Aaron Rodgers' record against the Minnesota Vikings?Β
Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers has been the starting quarterback since 2008 after taking over for former legendary Packers quarterback Brett Favre.
The Packers will take on the Minnesota Vikings today, who will be without the services of quarterback Kirk Cousins. The former Michigan State University standout will miss the game because he tested postive for COVID-19 and is unvaccinated.
The loss of Cousins could not have come at a worse time as the Vikings are currently on the bubble trying to get into the playoffs.
Meanwhile, the Packers are simply trying to maintain their one-game lead over the Cowboys, Rams and Buccaneers for the top spot in the NFC playoffs.
