Vikings vs. Packers: How to Watch the Week 10 Game on Fox and Streaming

CBS had Kansas City Chiefs vs. Atlanta Falcons, Miami Dolphins vs. Indianapolis Colts and Buffalo Bills vs. New York Jets at 1 p.m. ET.

What was at stake

Minnesota entered at 6-2 and Green Bay at 6-3. The Packers lost 39-22 to the Vikings in Week 1, and the teams have posted near-identical records since. The result could shift the NFC North standings.

The Vikings had a new quarterback in the lineup. Coach Kevin O'Connell announced Friday afternoon that Kirk Cousins would start, as expected.

Cousins' midweek move

Minnesota completed a trade for Cousins with the Las Vegas Raiders on Tuesday. Before the deal closed, team officials called his agent, Mike McCartney, and said they wanted the quarterback's return to be more than a one-year rental, according to sources.

Cousins is set to become a free agent after the season. McCartney told general manager Nolan Teasley and executive vice president of football operations Rob Brzezinski that Cousins was open to continuing into 2027. No firm offers or deadlines were discussed.

The Vikings took on the rest of Cousins' 2026 minimum salary and a $10 million fully guaranteed roster bonus for 2027. If he stays as the starter, that money would be folded into a larger salary.

Cousins is 38. He entered Sunday fifth in the NFL in passing yards, with 2,340, and second in touchdown passes, with 20, behind only Joe Burrow.

He was set to become the first quarterback in NFL history to start back-to-back weeks for two different teams since starts became official in 1950, according to ESPN Research.

The Vikings have cycled through Cousins, Sam Darnold, J.J. McCarthy, Carson Wentz and Kyler Murray, then returned to Wentz, with Jaren Hall, Josh Dobbs, Nick Mullens and Max Brosmer also taking snaps.
