In a dominant performance, the Green Bay Packers handed the Minnesota Vikings a 23-6 defeat on Sunday. The Packers' victory was fueled by Emanuel Wilson's impressive debut, where he rushed for a career-high 107 yards and scored two touchdowns. Wilson's performance, which included 28 carries, marked the highest single-game totals by any Packers running back this season. Wilson filled in for Josh Jacobs, who was absent due to a bruised left knee. Jacobs' injury paved the way for Wilson's breakthrough, which also included a pair of 1-yard touchdown runs. The Packers' defense was equally impressive, with Micah Parsons and Devonte Wyatt each recording two sacks. The Vikings struggled to find their footing, particularly in the second half, where they managed only 4 net yards and three turnovers. Quarterback J.J. McCarthy continued to face challenges, going 12 of 19 for 87 yards, including two interceptions in the final two series. The Vikings' offense was unable to capitalize on their running game, which was spearheaded by Jordan Mason and Aaron Jones in the first half. The Packers' pass rush proved to be a significant factor, sacking McCarthy five times, including four in the second half. The Vikings' only points came from Will Reichard's field goals, which included a 59-yard kick that became the first of its kind in NFL history this season. The Packers' victory improves their divisional record to 2-0, following a 1-5 record against NFC North foes last season. They will face the Detroit Lions on Thursday and the Chicago Bears on December 7. The Vikings, meanwhile, will visit the Seattle Seahawks next Sunday, looking to bounce back from their fifth loss in their last six games.
