For the first time in a long time, the Green Bay Packers played a complete football game, and the performance came in what was essentially a playoff game against the Minnesota Vikings on New Year’s Eve.
“Really proud of our team tonight. I thought that was a complete football game really in every phase for four quarters,” head coach Matt LaFleur said following a 23-point win on Sunday.
To help get the team back to .500 and in the driver’s seat for a spot in the playoffs, the offense dropped 33 points on what was a top-10 scoring defense thanks to a four-touchdown outing from Jordan Love, a second-consecutive 100-yard rushing game from Aaron Jones, and a breakout performance from Bo Melton.
