James Jones gave the Packers a lead in the first quarter, before Kevin Rudolph and Adrian Peterson saw the Vikings ahead at half-time.

James Starks gave the home side their first rushing touchdown in almost two months in the third quarter.

Christian Ponder threw two interceptions to Morgan Burnett as the Vikings struggled with their offence towards the end of the game.

Two Mason Crosby field goals helped secure the Packers victory, which moves them ahead of the Chicago Bears in the NFC North.
