Minnesota Vikings shut out Packers in win, chasing 1st-round bye for NFL playoffsGETTY IMAGES Running back Latavius Murray and the Minnesota Vikings scored another NFL victory on Sunday. (FILE PIC)The Minnesota Vikings shut out an opponent for the first time in nearly a quarter-century, beating the injury-depleted Green Bay Packers 16-0 on Sunday (NZ time) to stay in the hunt for a first-round playoff bye. Stefon Diggs caught a 4-yard pass from Case Keenum just inside the back line of the end zone in the first quarter for the only touchdown. The Vikings forced an incompletion into the end zone on fourth-and-4 from the 14 early in the fourth quarter to turn away the Packers' last best effort to get into the end zone. Minnesota left frigid Lambeau Field with its first shutout since a 13-0 win over Detroit on December 5, 1993.
