The Minnesota Vikings are one step closer to securing a first-round bye in the postseason after knocking off the Green Bay Packers 16-0 in an NFC North showdown at Lambeau Field.
With Aaron Rodgers placed on season-ending injured reserve this week, Minnesota's defense took full advantage of Green Bay with Brett Hundley at quarterback. The Packers could only muster 239 yards in defeat, with Hundley going 17-of-40 for 130 yards and two interceptions.
Per Ben Goessling of the Star Tribune, Saturday was Minnesota's first shutout of the Packers since 1971.
