I saw a lot of people saying this saved the season and, well, I couldn’t disagree more. Win or lose, the Packers were most likely going to be in it until the end.
The Vikings hold just a one-game lead (now a half a game) over the Packers and have games against Seattle and at Arizona coming up. They then finish the season at Lambeau Field. If the Vikings and Packers finish with the same record, but the Packers sweep the season series, they’re division champs.
At any rate, this win does put the Packers in much better position for the division crown.
