A longtime NFL rivalry known as the “Border Battle” will take on a new intensity in Week 17.

Minnesota Vikings star wide receiver Justin Jefferson and Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love both knew it and avoided “just another game narrative” when talking with reporters recently. The Vikings (13–2) seek the No. 1 seed in the NFC, and the playoff-bound Packers (11–4) need a big win amid no victories over a team with 10 or more wins yet this season.
