Ours:
MINNESOTA VIKINGS: RB EDDIE LACY, GREEN BAY PACKERS, 91.6 OVERALL GRADE
At just 29 years old, it appears that Lacy’s time in the NFL has come to a close, but there was a time at the beginning of his career when Lacy was very effective. That was especially true when facing off against the Vikings. In those matchups, Lacy forced 31 missed tackles as a runner on 139 attempts — good for a forced missed tackle rate that led all runners with 50 or more attempts against the Vikes.

NFCN:
CHICAGO BEARS: QB AARON RODGERS, GREEN BAY PACKERS, 92.0 OVERALL GRADE
Continuing the theme of elite quarterbacks performing well against divisional foes, Rodgers has had the upper hand against Chicago since entering the league. From a clean pocket, Rodgers has been second to none against the Bears with a passing grade of 93.1 to go along with strong showings in yards per attempt (7.9) and passer rating (113.6). The only quarterbacks with 15 or more big-time throws against the Bears are Rodgers (40) and Matthew Stafford (28).

DETROIT LIONS: QB AARON RODGERS, GREEN BAY PACKERS, 93.3 OVERALL GRADE
Another NFC North team, another appearance for Rodgers. The Packers quarterback has performed better against the Lions than he has against the Bears throughout his career. In all, he has completed 66.0% of his passes for 8.2 yards per attempt and a passer rating of 109.0. When getting rid of the ball in 2.5 seconds or less against Detroit, Rodgers has thrown 14 touchdowns and no interceptions to go along with no turnover-worthy throws.

GREEN BAY PACKERS: S HARRISON SMITH, MINNESOTA VIKINGS, 90.0 OVERALL GRADE
Smith has been one of the best safeties in the league since being drafted in 2012, and he has been the best defender in the league against Rodgers and the Packers offense. He has a run-defense grade of 90.1 and a coverage grade of 85.7 across 868 snaps vs. Green Bay. In coverage, Smith has allowed a passer rating of 71.5 behind a league-high five interceptions.

Bonus:
NEW YORK GIANTS: QB AARON RODGERS, GREEN BAY PACKERS, 92.7 OVERALL GRADE
Rodgers’ appearance here against the Giants is one of the rare non-divisional team-killers, but his spot has been well earned. While his underlying stats — such as a 59.0% completion percentage — aren’t all that impressive, Rodgers’ overall performance stands second to none. He was particularly effective in the fourth quarter of one-score games, throwing six big-time throws compared to no turnover-worthy plays.
