Nearly eight months after the Packers' shocking playoff game loss to the San Francisco 49ers, Aaron Rodgers and Co. are back for another run at the Super Bowl in 2022.

And Week 1 should be a doozy against the rival Minnesota Vikings at U.S. Bank Stadium. Plus, these comments from former Packers linebacker Za'Darius Smith, who is now with the Vikings, have given this game some extra spice — if it needed it.
