(Green Bay, WI) -- NFC North rivals share the Thursday night spotlight as the Minnesota Vikings play the Green Bay Packers at Lambeau Field. Both teams are 2-2. The Vikings are coming off a 41-28 win over the Falcons on Sunday. Making his first NFL start in place of the injured Matt Cassel, rookie quarterback Teddy Bridgewater was 19-of-30 for 317 yards before suffering an ankle injury. He is listed as questionable for tonight. Green Bay blew out the Bears 38-17 Sunday night in Chicago behind four TD passes from Aaron Rodgers. The Packers and Vikings tied 26-all in their last meeting last November.
