MINNEAPOLIS -- File this under the Captain Obvious tab, but the Vikings faced a completely different Packers team once Anthony Barr knocked Aaron Rodgers out of the game on Green Bay’s second drive.
The entire dynamic shifted in Minnesota’s favor, allowing the Vikings to earn their straight victory in an 23-10 win over Green Bay at U.S. Bank Stadium.
The biggest hit the Vikings took was when Barr sustained a concussion at some point in the first half and was ruled out before the third quarter started. The same can’t be said for the Packers, who came into the game already thin in their defensive backfield and piled up injuries from Rodgers on, leaving them with third stringers in the secondary.
