The Minnesota Vikings played an inconsistent game in Week 16 against the Green Bay Packers, but what were the best and worst moments from Monday night?

The Minnesota Vikings entered this game having clinched a spot in the playoffs. However, with victories in both their final two games of the season, they could find themselves moving up the seeding considerably.

Those games wouldn’t be easy though. Their first opponent was the NFC North-leading Green Bay who is also looking to get victories and move into a position to host playoff games instead of being the visitor.

Week 16 wasn’t kind to the Vikings, whose offense couldn’t move the football at all against a Packers team who dominated the line of scrimmage while on defense. Green Bay were the victors, beating Minnesota by a score of 10-23 to move the Vikings to 10-5 on the season and lock them into the sixth seed in the NFC playoffs.

During the game, the Minnesota Vikings had some really good moments and some others that left fans shaking their heads. Let’s talk about the best and worst from this Monday Night Football game against the Packers.
