Packers-Vikings could be wild-card elimination game, with division clinched for Lions

Associated Press  

GREEN BAY at MINNESOTA Sunday, 8:20 p.m. EST, NBC OPENING LINE: Vikings by 1½, per FanDuel Sportsbook. Jayden Reed didn’t play last week and has been a limited participant in practice.. Packers S Darnell Savage has sat out two straight games and practiced on a limited basis this week. With OLB Marcus Davenport out for the past nine games and counting, the Vikings are down two of their top three pass rushers.. RT Brian O’Neill, who has missed the past two games, is on track to return for the Vikings after practicing in full this week.. Vikings WR Jordan Addison left the Lions game early and has been practicing on a limited basis this week.. CB Byron Murphy missed the previous game for the Vikings and did not practice Wednesday or Thursday. STATS AND STUFF: With the Lions having clinched the NFC North, the loser of this game would be eliminated from wild-card contention if the Rams and Seahawks both win their afternoon games.. Jones accounted for the Packers’ first 100-yard rushing or receiving performance of the season. He has 5,648 receiving yards, the most by any NFL player in his first four seasons.. Jefferson needs 177 yards in two games to reach 1,000 for the season, despite missing seven-plus games to injury.. Addison needs 174 receiving yards and a touchdown over the final two games to become the 11th player in NFL history with 1,000 receiving yards and 10 touchdowns as a rookie.. Hockenson finished 40 yards short of becoming just the second TE in Vikings history with 1,000 receiving yards in a season, done first by Joe Senser.
