*Ryan Grant looks fantastic. He's shifty, hitting the hole hard and running with a purpose against a stout Vikings rush defense. He has eight carries for 81 yards, including a tough 30-yard touchdown run. In the Packers' first drive alone, Grant had three carries for 49 yards and two catches for 11.
*His statistics aren't quite as gaudy, but Adrian Peterson continues to impress. He's got 36 yards on seven carries, and the rookie just flat runs over people. He's clearly the focus of the Vikings offense, touching the ball nearly every snap.
*After all of the controversy surrounding his grandmother's funeral, Troy Williamson is active for the Vikings. He returned the opening kickoff 24 yards.
*Those in attendance at Lambeau Field got to see a moving tribute to the late Max McGee midway through the quarter. It was set to Louis Armstrong's "What a Wonderful World."
*Former Packers running back John Brockington, who played from 1971-77, is in attendance.
