It’s one thing to beat a Vikings team that, despite 12 wins this season, entered Lambeau Field as a field goal underdog. It’s another to thoroughly dismantle a team that easily handled them in Week 1 at Minnesota. The Packers pulled away with a 27-3 halftime lead, thanks to Mason Crosby doinking a 56-yard field goal over the crossbar as the first-half clock expired.Here’s a look at the Packers’ most dominant win all year.
