Vikings quarterback JJ McCarthy fumbled a pass intended for Jalen Nailor and was intercepted by Packers safety Evan Williams with 3:43 remaining in the game. Williams and the rest of his teammates celebrated the turnover by doing the Skol clap.

The action is typically used by Vikings fans at US Bank Stadium in Minneapolis to celebrate a positive result. Instead, the Packers had the last laugh and were able to quickly eliminate their rivals.
McCarthy had two interceptions in the game – the second was thrown to linebacker Isaiah McDuffie. The Packers sacked McCarthy five times and forced him to fumble once. Myles Price also fumbled in the game and the Packers recovered that one.
Green Bay held McCarthy to 87 passing yards. The Vikings totaled 93 rushing yards as a team.
