3. Yards per play
The Vikings finished the game with a whopping average of 7.0 yards gained per play, netting 421 yards on 60 plays.
That average was 2.1 yards per play greater than the 4.9 averaged by the Packers.
Green Bay’s hot start, however, was much different than most of the game.
The Packers totaled 176 yards and 21 points on their first 19 offensive plays, an average of 9.3 yards per play.
After the Vikings adjusted and stopped the bleeding, Minnesota limited Green Bay to 154 net yards on 50 plays (3.1 yards per play) over the course of the Packers final 11 possessions.
Unfortunately, too much damage was done early.
