It’s hard to believe the Vikings and Packers who played on New Year’s Eve were the same two teams who met on October 29 in Green Bay.
The Vikings dominated that day in a 24-10 victory in which they outgained the Packers 348-270 (without the injured Justin Jefferson) and Brian Flores had Packers QB Jordan Love confused and holding the ball as they sacked him four times and intercepted him once. The Vikings D held Love to a 59% completion rate and 229 yards with one TD pass.
