Packers vs Vikings live updates; score, highlights
Follow live updates during the Packers-Vikings game this afternoon.
The Green Bay Packers, currently last in the NFC North Division standings, face the Minnesota Vikings in an upcoming game on Sunday, November 15 at Lambeau Field. The Packers, with a record of 6-3, aim to avenge their season opener loss to the Vikings. Last week, they scored a season-high 45 points against New England. Quarterback Jordan Love will miss this game as running back Josh Jacobs is recovering from a broken finger.
However, he will be replaced by receivers Matthew Golden and Christian Watson, who combined for over 300 yards against the Patriots in their previous matchup.
The Vikings, with a 6-2 record, are looking to improve their divisional standing. They recently acquired quarterback Kirk Cousins to bolster their passing offense. Cousins will aid the team in getting the ball to star receiver Justin Jefferson. The Vikings have struggled recently, scoring only 146 points this season, compared to the Packers' 192.
Despite this, the Vikings' defense ranks in the top half of the league, allowing only 116 points – 14.5 per game. A victory by the Packers could prove crucial for both teams as they navigate the playoffs.
