The Green Bay Packers started the game fast and never let up, with quarterback Jordan Love throwing three touchdowns to secure a 33-10 victory over the divisional-rival Minnesota Vikings to cap off Week 17.

Offensive spotlight: Packers quarterback Jordan Love completed 24 of his 33 pass attempts for 256 yards, three touchdowns and zero interceptions on the night. Love was aggressive, recording a 10.5-yard average depth of target, but he also produced an impressive 81.3% adjusted completion percentage. He finished the game with four big-time throws and zero turnover-worthy plays on first review. 

Defensive spotlight: The Packers defensive linemen gave the Vikings fits at times. Rashan Gary (6), Devonte Wyatt (4), Kenny Clark (4) and Preston Smith (3) all produced multiple pressures, according to PFF's first review of the game film. 

Rookie spotlight: Packers receiver Jayden Reed hauled in all six of his catchable targets for 89 yards, two touchdowns and one first down, good for a 150.5 passer rating when targeted. Reed was targeted on 53.3% of his routes and averaged 5.93 yards per route run.
