The Green Bay Packers calmly and methodically dispatched the visiting Minnesota Vikings on Sunday at Lambeau Field, using a run game powered by Emanuel Wilson's career day and a dominant effort from Jeff Hafley's disruptive defense to create a comfortable 23-6 win over their NFC North rivals.
Wilson rushed for two touchdowns and produced 125 total yards. Micah Parsons and Devonte Wyatt both created 2.0 sacks. Isaiah McDuffie and Evan Williams had interceptions. Brandon McManus connected on three field goals.
