The NFC playoff situation is much clearer following the Green Bay Packers’ 23-10 victory at Minnesota.

The outcome gives the Packers the NFC North title and makes Matt LeFleur the 10th rookie coach in league history to have a 12-win season.

Aaron Jones carried Green Bay’s defense by rushing for 154 yards and two second-half touchdowns. Za’Darius Smith was the Packers’ defensive standout with five tackles for loss.

The Packers fought through three first-half turnovers that left them trailing 10-9 at the break.

Kirk Cousins threw an interception and was sacked five times, with a whopping 3 1/2 by Smith. Cousins is 0-9 in Monday night games.

The outcome leaves the 10-5 Vikings with the sixth seed in the NFC playoffs.
