There couldn’t have been a bigger game for the Minnesota Vikings team up to this point for their young team than the week 17 matchup against the Green Bay Packers with the NFC North championship on the line and home field advantage in the Wild Card round of the NFL playoffs on the line.

The Packers have dominated the Vikings in recent history, winning the NFC North for the last four seasons and defeating head coach Mike Zimmer in every confrontation since his hire. This was a chance to prove that Minnesota can beat the Packers and are a real threat to the division title.

The final score of the game was 20-13 with the Minnesota Vikings defeating the Green Bay Packers in Wisconsin.
