On a day where the story could have been about the Green Bay Packers getting an even bigger boost by seeing their star quarterback return from a two-week absence, it was all about the NFC North division-leading Minnesota Vikings.
Yes, the undefeated Vikings came into Lambeau Field Sunday afternoon — with beloved and former Packers running back Aaron Jones, too — and sent a message to their biggest rival in the form of a 31-29 win. That came in spite of the Vikings only tacking on three points over the second half as the Packers staged a failed comeback. In the end, it was the Vikings’ 28-point first half that proved to be the foundation for their stunning win.
