US EditionPackers Drop Regular-Season Finale Against Vikings
The Packers fielded a second-tier roster with some players resting, which contributed to their 16-3 loss against the Vikings in the regular-season finale.
- On Sunday, the Green Bay Packers lost 16-3 to the Minnesota Vikings in Minneapolis with a roster that felt second-tier as several players rested.
- With their postseason seeding locked, Packers intended to rest Jordan Love and started Clayton Tune, while several regulars including Josh Jacobs and Micah Parsons, placed on injured reserve Dec. 17, were inactive.
- Despite backups, Clayton Tune completed one pass while the Packers finished with negative-7 net passing yards and three points, as Vikings defenders Isaiah Rodgers and Eric Wilson made key tackles on Chris Brooks Sunday.
- The loss leaves Green Bay Packers riding a four-game losing streak as they enter the playoffs next week, and Clayton Tune's outing suggests they will likely seek a backup quarterback in the offseason.
- Jordan Morgan showed he is likely the Packers left tackle starter in 2026, Collin Oliver debuted with promise despite limited action, and Trevon Diggs saw early play opposite Justin Jefferson on Sunday.
