Packers vs Vikings: Packers vs. Vikings: Performances to watch

Turnover tendencies: The Vikings’ defense ranks fourth in the league in total takeaways this season with 27, and the unit is coming off a seven-turnover effort against the Chargers last week.

The Packers rank seventh with 23 takeaways, and LB Preston Smith and CB Kevin King have two of Vikings QB Kirk Cousins’ five interceptions this season.

Both teams will put a premium on protecting the football.

WRs Adam Thielen and Stefon Diggs, who torched the Packers in two games in 2018, combined for just six catches for 124 yards, though Diggs did have a 45-yard TD.

Minnesota’s offense will be looking for redemption while Green Bay’s defense would love a repeat performance.
