NBC Sports continues its presentation of SUNDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL this week as Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers (1-0) visit Adrian Peterson and the Minnesota VIKINGS (1-0) at U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis, Minn. Coverage begins with FOOTBALL NIGHT IN AMERICA this Sunday, September 18, at 7 p.m. ET on NBC.

Sunday's matchup of NFC North rivals is the first regular-season game at U.S. Bank Stadium. Both teams captured victories in Week 1, with the Packers beating the Jaguars 27-23, and the VIKINGS defeating the Titans 25-16. In the last meeting between the two teams, Minnesota bested Green Bay 20-13 on SUNDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL in Week 17 at Lambeau Field to take the division title, the Vikings' first since 2009. Since the 2006 season, including playoff games, the Packers hold a 15-5-1 record against the Vikings.

Calling Packers-Vikings are seven-time Emmy Award-winner Al Michaels (play-by-play), in his record 31st season as THE VOICE of the NFL's premier primetime package; 16-time Emmy Award-winner Cris Collinsworth; and two-time Emmy Award-winning sideline reporter Michele Tafoya.
