The 12-3 Minnesota Vikings strolled into Lambeau Field Sunday and were promptly demolished, 41-17. Both of Minnesota’s touchdowns were in garbage time when Green Bay subbed out almost the entirety of their defense.
All three units are humming and contributing, perfectly exemplified in this extraordinary blowout of the Vikings. The Packers scored their first touchdown of the day off a 105-yard kick return touchdown by breakout returner Keisean Nixon. It’s Green Bay’s first kickoff return score since Randall Cobb took one to the house in 2011.
The special teams weren’t all great, though, as the Packers had a punt blocked that set up the Vikings at Green Bay’s 1-yard line.
