Expert recap and game analysis of the Green Bay Packers vs. Minnesota Vikings NFL game from November 23, 2025 on ESPN.

The Packers have taken advantage of a Vikings special teams mistake to increase their lead early in the second half.

Finally, the Green Bay Packers managed to win comfortably in a game that they were expected to do so. Playing without Josh Jacobs and a somewhat limited Jordan Love, the Packers cruised against the Minnesota Vikings, harassing quarterback J.J. McCarthy frequently en route to a 23-6 victory.

GREEN BAY — It’s hard to effectively sum up how bad the Vikings were after halftime in the embarrassing 23-6 loss to the Green Bay Packers on Sunday afternoon at Lambeau Field. The ineptitude displayed might go down as the worst 30 minutes that will ever be put forth under head coach Kevin O’Connell.

The Green Bay Packers won on Sunday in very convincing fashion, so no matter what happens the rest of the weekend, they will hold onto a playoff spot. They were in line to take the NFC North lead by the Chicago bears pulled out a close game over the Pittsburgh Steelers to stay in first.
