The Green Bay Packers were unable to overcome a barrage of self-inflicted errors on offense and an injury-riddled pass defense that got shredded by Sam Darnold in a 27-25 defeat at the hands of the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday.
The Packers scored 15 points in the fourth quarter and needed one stop for a chance to win the game, but the defense gave up a pair of first downs and the Vikings killed the clock.
The Vikings swept the Packers for the first time since 2017 and are now 14-2 entering the season’s final week.
Here are five stats to know from the Packers’ loss to the Vikings in Week 17:
