Jennings: best ball against Vikings

Greg Jennings, who just signed a big contract with the Minnesota Vikings, has been a very good wide receiver over his seven-year career. But he's been even better than that against the Vikings, which could have helped him land with Green Bay's divisional rival.

In Jennings' 12 games against the Vikings since becoming a full-time starter in 2007, he caught 60 passes for 917 yards and 10 TDs. That's an average of 5 catches, 76 yards, and 0.83 TDs -- nearly a touchdown per game.

In his 84 other games in the league, he's averaged 4.3 catches for 67 yards and 0.51 TDs -- close to one less catch, 10 fewer yards, and just half a touchdown per game.

Jennings may miss playing against Minnesota twice per year. He also might miss playing in Green Bay's superior passing offense (though with the Vikings, he'll be more of a "go-to" option, not fighting for balls with Randall Cobb, Jordy Nelson and James Jones). Jennings vs. Vikings, 2007-2012
