The Green Bay Packers' showdown against the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday was more than your typical NFC North rivalry game. It played out that way, too.
After Minnesota took a 27-10 lead late in the third quarter, Green Bay scored a pair of touchdowns in the fourth to make it close. However, the Vikings did what they needed to do in the final minutes in order to seal the win.
With the victory, the Vikings improved to 14-2 and will play for the No. 1 seed in the NFC when they take on the Detroit Lions next week. The Packers fell to 11-5 with the loss, guaranteeing that they won't finish higher than the No. 6 seed in the NFC playoff picture.
