Packers 25 vs 27 Vikings summary, stats, scores and highlights | NFL Week 17
Love would find Heath in the end zone just a few minutes later and the Packers had a real chance after cutting the lead to two in the final couple minutes of the game. MIN got the ball back and made a couple of gutsy calls to pass on plays that moved the chains and kept the clock running until the were able to kneel it and move to 14-2 on the year.
That sets up an all or nothing finish to the regular season next week against the Detroit Lions. It's this simple: The winner gets the one seed and home field advantage, while the other gets the Wild Card and will most likely have to play all of their games on the road.
The Packers turned it on in the final few minutes but it was much too little too late. Emanuel Wilson punched in the TD to give the Packers hope with just over 6 minutes to go.
The Vikings responded with a professional drive to take back control of the game and stretch the lead back to a three possession game. Former Packer, Aaron Jones, carried the Vikes down field and set up this 9 yard TD for Cam Akers on the screen pass.
Jones had 47 yards on 12 carries and Darnold finished the day with 3 TDs in another game that he had a +100 rating.
Josh Jacobs was the only one producing on the offensive end for the Packers in the first three quarters, and he finally got into the end zone just a few plays after the Vikings only TO of the game. He ended the night with 69 yards, but almost all of those came in the first half.
Just when it seemed like the Vikes were going to run away with it, Darnold made his only mistake of the game. He got picked off by Carrington Valentine and that gave the Packers a glimmer of hope for the final quarter and a half.
The Packers would get held out of the end zone for the first 30 minutes and the Vikings stretched the lead out to 10 before the break. Coming out of the break, Minnesota stretched the lead out to a three possession advantage with another perfect pass from Darnold, this time to Jordan Addison.
For some reason there are a lot of people who were doubting the Vikings, myself included. Maybe it's because they have a QB who has never been in this situation before, but Sam Darnold continues to show up in big games and in big moments and make big plays. He hit Jalen Nailor on the opening TD of the game with this beautiful 31 yard dime.
The Minnesota Vikings are still in the hunt for the top seed in the NFC after a narrow win over the Green Bay Packers. Sam Darnold threw for 377 yards and 3 TDs in the 27-25 win.
It was the Vikings defense setting the tone early, stripping Josh Jacobs on the first drive of the day and they would keep the Packers offense quiet for most of the night.

WE ARE UNDERWAY FROM MINNESOTA!!!
Star watch: Packers
While all of the spotlight has been on Saquon Barkley and Derrick Henry who swapped teams this offseason, Josh Jacobs should be getting just as much love. He is the fourth leading rusher in the league, with 1,216 yards and has 13 rushing TDs which is tied for second most in the league. The Packers let Aaron Jones go and picked up the league’s former leading rusher and it looks like the gamble is paying off.
Star watch: Vikings
Sam Darnold was a forgotten quarterback after years of voyaging around the NFL for years. He was named the starter and no one could have expected him to have as much success as he’s having this year. He has thrown for 3,776 yards which is good enough for 7th in the league and his 32 TDs are 5th in the league but more importantly he has the Vikings in prime position to get the one seed in the NFC.
Season recap: Vikings
We had no clue what to expect from the Vikings after letting Kirk Cousins go, but they put Sam Darnold in at QB1. All they did was be the last undefeated team in the league going 5-0 to start the season, but would lose two in a row against the Lions and the Rams and everyone thought the Vikings dream season was over. Since then they have won eight straight, but five of those came in one possession games. For a two win team, there are still some doubts surrounding this team, but if they win out in their final two games against the Packers and the Lions they get the top seed in the NFC.
Season recap: Packers
There was a lot expected of the Packers coming into this season after Green Bay went to the playoffs in Jordan Love’s first season as the QB1. They went to Brazil to start the game and lost to the Eagles and lost Love for a couple weeks to injury but Malik Willis manned the ship and led them to two wins his absence. Love returned for the Vikings game in Week 4, but they would lose that game by just 2 points. They would win 7 of their next 8 losing to the Lions once during that span and then again three weeks ago. The Packers have shown they are a good team but they have yet to beat a top team in the NFC. All four of their losses came to teams that are ahead of them in the NFC.
Last game: Vikings
Minnesota went in to Seattle and went back and forth with the Seahawks until the final tick of the clock. Sam Darnold threw two first half TDs to Jordan Addison and Justin Jefferson but Geno Smith matched that with a couple TD passes of his own but Minnesota went to half with a 17-14 lead. After a couple field goals on each side the Vikings led 20-17 heading into the 4th quarter, but Smith would put the home side up 24-20 with just 4:21 to go, but Sam Darnold would answer with a 39 yard bomb to Justin Jefferson just a minute later. Seattle would get two chances to tie or take the lead but they missed a field goal and Smith got intercepted for the second time to end the game.
Last game: Packers
It was a bloodbath in the Frozen Tundra as the Packers hosted an injury plagued New Orleans team. Green Bay received the ball to start the game and dominated from the start to finish. They scored on their first three drives of the night going up 21-0 and didn’t look back from there. Jordan Love had 182 yards and a TD on 16/28 passing and the ground game combined for 188 yards as the starters got to sit and watch most of the 4th quarter as the Pack cruised to a 34-0 win.
We are live from US Bank Stadium

Green Bay are coming off of their most complete game of the season and the first shutout of the NFL season against a banged up Saints team, but today’s matchup in Minnesota is going to be a whole other ball game.
