The Green Bay Packers will have pride and playoff seeding on the line Sunday afternoon when they play the Minnesota Vikings at U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis.
The Packers posted the NFL's first shutout on Monday Night Football in their last game, a 34-0 drubbing of the New Orleans Saints. Jordan Love made 16 completions for 186 yards and a score, while the running game took the load of the work for the Packers, accumulating 188 yards on nearly 40 carries. Josh Jacobs led the way with 69 yards on 13 carries to go with his 38 receiving yards on four receptions. The Packers' defense recorded two turnovers and three sacks while allowing less than 200 yards of offense.
The Vikings are on an eight-game winning streak since their last loss to the Los Angeles Rams. Last week, the Vikings outlasted the Seattle Seahawks 27-24 on the road behind 246 passing yards and three touchdowns from Sam Darnold, two of which went to Justin Jefferson as a part of his 10-catch, 144-yard day.
In the matchup, the Vikings jumped out to a 28-0 lead before holding off the Packers to win 31-29. The two teams play Sunday at 3:25 p.m.
