The Green Bay Packers got three straight touchdown drives to open the game and a shutout performance from Jeff Hafley’s defense to power Monday night’s 34-0 win over the New Orleans Saints at Lambeau Field in Week 16.
The Packers are now officially playoff bound for the second straight season and fifth in the last six years after clinching a berth with the win.
Quarterback Jordan Love hit receiver Dontayvion Wicks for a touchdown on the opening drive, running back Josh Jacobs produced 107 total yards and a score and Emanuel Wilson and Chris Brooks both scored touchdowns. The Packers defense produced two takeaways, three sacks and two fourth-down stops in creating the NFL’s first shutout of the 2024 season.
The Packers are now 11-4 after 15 games. Matt LaFleur’s team will finish with a trip to play the 13-2 Minnesota Vikings in Minneapolis next Sunday before hosting the Chicago Bears at Lambeau Field in the season finale.
