The Packers have played their way back into playoff contention and played this game into relevancy despite the Vikings already having secured the NFC North title.
Green Bay still doesn't look perfect, but a win over the Dolphins on Christmas makes it very possible that winning out would put the Packers in the playoffs. That's going to require a win over the team that delivered Green Bay its first blow this season.
The Vikings, who dominated the Packers in Week 1, have perfected the art of winning close games ever since. Somehow, they typically manage to find a way, even if it requires a 33-point comeback or a last-second 61-yard field goal.

Minnesota is going into a tough environment at Lambeau Field, where Kirk Cousins is 1-2-1 since he joined the Vikings. Kevin O'Connell's team is fortunate the temperatures are expected to be (slightly) above freezing on Sunday, but playing at Lambeau Field is still one of the most challenging road scenarios in the league.
Can Aaron Rodgers and the Packers run the table? They're high on confidence, and Rodgers can never be counted out in these situations. The Vikings, still playing for the NFC's No. 2 seed, have a chance to sweep Green Bay for the first time since 2017 and pick up another statement win before the playoffs.
