MINNEAPOLIS—Aaron Jones rushed for 154 yards and two second-half touchdowns, Za’Darius Smith had five tackles for loss to lead a stifling performance by Green Bay’s defence, and the Packers became NFC North champions by beating the Minnesota Vikings 23-10 on Monday night. The Packers stormed back from three first-half turnovers, including a rare interception by Aaron Rodgers, to silence the crowd and seal the Vikings (10-5) into the sixth playoff seed. The green-and-gold-clad fans in attendance squeezed some “Go, Pack, Go!” chants in during the ample down time as the Packers took control in the second half. The Vikings had only seven first downs and never netted a drive longer than 31 yards in this concerning regression. Since that iffy first month of the season, though, Cousins has played as well as nearly any quarterback in the league.
