It’s an omission from an otherwise sterling resume the Packers are aware exists. It’s so abnormal they aren’t fretting the lack of interceptions. Asked last week if the Packers can win a Super Bowl without more interceptions, safety Xavier McKinney wasn’t willing to even consider the possibility.
GREEN BAY — It’s hard to effectively sum up how bad the Vikings were after halftime in the embarrassing 23-6 loss to the Green Bay Packers on Sunday afternoon at Lambeau Field. The ineptitude displayed might go down as the worst 30 minutes that will ever be put forth under head coach Kevin O’Connell.
It was 10-6 early in the third quarter, but then the Packers special teams helped create a game-changing play.
Early in the fourth quarter, the Fox broadcast flashed a graphic that showed Packers edge rusher Micah Parsons' stats, but in Vikings purple, with a photo of a No. 1 in a Vikings uniform.
So, with another frustrating Sunday in the books, let’s break it all down. Here are the Studs and Duds from the Vikings’ 23-6 loss to the Packers.
The five-year stretch without a 10-sack player between 2020 and 2025 ended up tied for the longest in Packers history. There were five seasons between Ezra Johnson's 14.5-sack season in 1983 and Tim Harris' 13.5-sack season in 1988.
The Packers commemorated an interception against the Vikings on Nov. 23 with a celebration borrowed from Minnesota. Packers fans joined right in.
