Blowout wins are always sweet, but they are even sweeter when you eliminate a divisional rival from the playoffs in the process.
Without their starting quarterback, the Minnesota Vikings couldn’t get anything going on offense in a 27-point loss to the Green Bay Packers. Kirk Cousins watched from home as a Sean Mannion-led offense could only muster 10 points against another MVP performance from Aaron Rodgers.
The Vikings will miss the playoffs for the second straight season while the Packers have won at least 13 games in all three seasons under Matt LaFleur. With Sunday’s win, Green Bay clinched home-field advantage and a first-round bye in consecutive years. It was a complete effort by the offense and defense, so let’s highlight some standouts from this dominant win in frigid temperatures.
