The Minnesota Vikings are heading into their final game of the year as they take a four-game winning streak into their matchup with the Green Bay Packers. Their division rival does not have much to play for, so the Vikings may benefit from playing their backups as they get ready for the playoffs.

We already know the Packers are not putting either Jordan Love or Malik Willis out there as they look ahead to the playoffs. Instead, they will be utilizing Clayton Tune, who has starting experience from his time with the Arizona Cardinals. Meanwhile, Tune will be going up against a Brian Flores-led defense that has nothing to lose and every reason to be ultra-aggressive.

On offense for the Vikings, they will get to see J.J. McCarthy one last time before we head into a season full of chaos for the Vikings and their quarterback position. He will have the benefit of playing a Packers team that will likely be conservative in their approach, so his going against a more relaxed team could give fans a sweet taste in their mouth to end the season on.

Here is our live blog for the Vikings’ season finale from the 2025 season.

The Vikings have had a quiet second half, with some bad plays, which has prevented them from finding the endzone. However, Will Reichard hit another field goal, this time from 37 yards out, to add to the Vikings’ lead. They are now up 16-0 with 4:09 left in the game.

In what seems to be his final NFL game, fullback C.J. Ham was given the ball at the one-yard line and punched it in to put the Vikings up 13-0 over the Packers. The camera then showed how emotional his family was after the score, as well as him soaking it all in before the game. All strong indications that this may indeed be his final game.

The Vikings offense has had some unique looks here in Week 18, but they have struggled to find much consistency. Late in the second quarter, they marched down the field before losing momentum and settling for a field goal. Will Reichard hit another, this time from 25 yards out, and they now lead 6-0.

Will Reichard is having a special season, and the TV announcers made sure to highlight that before he lined up for a 43-yard field goal. While the kick took a sharp turn, he sent it through the uprights to open the scoring to put them up 3-0 with 10:27 left in the first quarter.
