Welcome back to the Vikings Postgame Report presented by Lumen - The trusted network of A.I. The Minnesota Vikings defeated the Green Bay Packers 16-3 at U.S. Bank Stadium to finish out their 2025 season. The Vikings closed out strong by hitting some milestones in the game and a couple of key members of the team received their flowers at the end of the game. Quarterbacks J.J. McCarthy and Max Brosmer both played for a half in the game, with McCarthy starting out the contest. J.J. finished the game 14-of-23 for 182 yards passing and added 7 yards on the ground. Brosmer finished the game 7-of-8 for 57 yards passing. Running back Jordan Mason led the Vikings with 94 yards on the ground, but 9 year veteran C.J. Ham scored the lone touchdown for the Vikings and added another 6 yards through the air. Wide Receiver Justin Jefferson finished his 2025 season on a high note: Justin finished the game with 8 receptions for 101 yards in the game. That pushed Justin over the 1,000 yard mark for the season and made him the 3rd player ever to finish that milestone in their first 6 seasons. Kicker Will Reichard finished the game perfect once again, converting 3 FG's and 1 XP in the contest. Defensively, they once again pitched a touchdown shutout down the stretch, only giving up a single field goal with 0:01 second left in the game.
