GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) – The resurgent Green Bay Packers moved one win away from another NFC North title.
The Minnesota Vikings headed home to stew about missing the playoffs and wasting a 5-0 start to the season.
Looking again like a Super Bowl contender, the Packers won their fifth straight game on Saturday by riding another hot start to beat the Vikings 38-25.
Up next for the Packers (9-6) is a winner-take-all showdown for the division title against the Lions on New Year’s Day.
“We’re planning on going to Detroit to win the division,” coach Mike McCarthy said. “Merry Christmas.”
