All the ways to watch as the Bills look for their second straight upset of an NFC North foe
The Buffalo Bills (1-2) shocked many national experts when they traveled to Minneapolis and handed the reigning NFC North champion Minnesota Vikings a 27-6 setback Sunday afternoon.
Can the Bills pull another upset when they travel to Green Bay for a Week 4 showdown with Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers (1-1-1)?
Buffalo opens as a 9.5-point underdog vs. the Packers, but the Bills might be catching Green Bay at the right time. Rodgers, hobbled with a knee injury, isn’t at 100 percent with an injury that could affect his performance.
The Packers are dealing with injuries along the offensive line, meaning an opportunity is there for Buffalo to get after Rodgers on Sunday. The Bills will need a repeat of Week 3, when Jerry Hughes, Trent Murphy, and co. applied consistent pressure on Vikings’ quarterback Kirk Cousins to topple another quality NFC foe.
This will be the 13th meeting between these teams, and Buffalo leads the all-time series 8-4. The last time Buffalo faced the Packers, the legendary Bacarri Rambo came away with a pair of interceptions off Rodgers, Dan Carpenter booted four field goals, and Marcus Thigpen returned a punt 75 yards for a touchdown as the Bills won 21-13 Dec. 14, 2014 at Ralph Wilson Stadium.
The last time the Bills traveled to Lambeau, it wasn’t pretty. Behind a pair of Aaron Rodgers touchdown passes and a pair of Trent Edwards interceptions, Green Bay throttled Buffalo 34-7 on Sept. 19, 2010.
In that game, the Packers led only 13-7 at halftime, but Rodgers tossed a pair of TDs and added a nine-yard touchdown run to send Buffalo to an 0-2 start to the season.
