Check out the good, bad, and interesting things from the Minnesota Vikings game on Sunday Night Football in Week 12 against the Green Bay Packers!

Week 12 of the 2018 NFL season put the Minnesota Vikings in a position where a win on Sunday Night Football against the Green Bay Packers would put them right back in the thick of the playoff hunt this year.

This was a big game for Minnesota for another reason. The NFC North got a little more divided after losing to the Chicago Bears at Soldier Field last week but the team has another matchup against the Bears coming up and this week’s Sunday Night Football game is one of three remaining division games.

The game ended with Minnesota emerging victorious by a final score of 24-17, helped by a strong defense and efficient offense using the receivers and running backs to bring the Vikings to 6-4-1 with a division record of 2-1-1 with five games left in the season.

But before looking too far ahead to the game against the New England Patriots, let’s dive into the good, bad, and interesting things that happened between the Minnesota Vikings and Green Bay Packers in Week 12!
