Vikings and Packers Set for Pivotal NFC North Clash in Minneapolis

Sunday's matchup could determine Minnesota's pursuit of the NFC's top seed and Green Bay's playoff trajectory.

The 13-2 Vikings need a win to stay in contention for the NFC North title and the conference's No. 1 seed, while the 11-4 Packers aim to secure a stronger wild-card position.
Green Bay enters the game on a hot streak, winning nine of their last eleven games, with quarterback Jordan Love showing marked improvement after early-season struggles.
Minnesota's defense, led by coordinator Brian Flores, will rely on an aggressive pass rush to pressure Love, who threw three interceptions in their Week 4 meeting.
The Packers' offense, powered by running back Josh Jacobs, faces a stiff test against a Vikings defense that ranks second in the league against the run and has allowed only seven rushing touchdowns all season.
Fox has flexed the game to a national broadcast slot, highlighting its significance as both teams prepare for potential playoff runs.
