The Minnesota Vikings had to swallow the bitter pill of defeat, while also watching their playoff hopes go up in smoke, in Sunday’s Week 17 loss to the Green Bay Packers. Backup quarterback Sean Mannion took the starting snaps in place of Kirk Cousins, who was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list last Friday.
On a night when the running game was completely snuffed out, it fell on Mannion to try and outduel Aaron Rodgers, and it went about as bad as expected.
