The Packers lead the Vikings series 49-44. Since Brad Childress became coach of Minnesota they have lost 5 straight to the Packers. Last loss to the Vikes was 2005.
This will start the season's second half, it being game # 9. Looking at the players who have worn 9 we have mostly punters (Bryan Barker 2004), back up QB's (Jim McMahon (1995-96), Kickers (Dean Dorsey 1988) and a Packer Hall of Famer Jug Earp who wore the highest single digit number in 1928.
Earp was in the Packers 1st Hall of Fame Class, playing for the Green and Gold from '22 to '32. He also wore 38 in 1929, 39 in 1930-32, and 29 in 1927-28.
Finally, prior to the Vikings Minneapolis had an NFL team called the Red Jackets from 1921 to 1930. They were 0-8 v. the Packers. The Packers beat the Red Jackets twice in 1929 as they won their first league title.
