MINNEAPOLIS (FOX 9) - The Minnesota Vikings host the Green Bay Packers for New Year’s Eve football Sunday night at U.S. Bank Stadium, with both teams at 7-8 and seeking a spot in the NFC Playoffs.

For the fifth time this season, the Vikings are changing their starting quarterback. Jaren Hall will make his second start of the season after Kevin O’Connell made the decision this week to turn to the rookie over Nick Mullens, who threw four interceptions in a 30-24 loss to the Detroit Lions last week and now has six in two starts.
