Some players love going up against a certain team.  Whether it's their style or something personal, some players' stats always get a boost when they play against THAT team.  For former Crimson Tide runing back Eddie Lacy, THAT team is the Minnesota Vikings.

On Sunday, Lacy carved up his favorite Scandanavians once again.  The 2013 Offensive Rooke of the Year had 25 carries for 125 yards and a touchdown.  He added another touchdown with a reception as the Green Bay Packers defeated the Vikings 24-21.  Lacy's runnings was also the key for Green Bay running out the clock to deny the Vikings a last possesseion at the end of the game.

This has become par for the course for Lacy against Minnesota.  Since entering the NFL last season, he has six games of 100 or more yards rushing. Three of those games have come against the Vikings.  In fact, Lacy's only other 100-yard game this season came against Minnesota in Week 5 when he had 105 yards on just 13 carries with two touchdowns in a 42-10 Green Bay win.  In Week 12 of the 2013 season, Lacy had 110 yards on 25 carries against the Vikings in a rare tie.  The only time he didn't cross the century mark against Minnesota was the first time he played them in Week 8 of 2013 when he had 94 yards on 29 carries with one touchdown.

In total, Eddie Lacy has 434 yards on 92 carries with five rushing touchdowns in four games against Minnesota.  That's an average of 108.5 yards on 23 carries for 1.25 touchdowns per game.

For the season so far, Lacy has 672 yards on 154 carries with six rushing touchdowns.  With MVP quarterback Aaron Rodgers back healthy this season after missing much of last season with a shoulder injury, Lacy has been more active receiving this season.  He has 335 yards on 29 receptions for three touchdowns, and notched his first 100-yard receiving game in Week 8 against the New Orleans Saints (8 rec, 123 yards).  He has done this while only losing one fumble all year.
