The Green Bay Packers secured their spot at the top of the NFC North with a victory over the Minnesota Vikings. The dominance of Preston Smith and the Packers' defense helped them take the game away from Kirk Cousins and the Vikings.

Smith was so happy with securing an NFC North title that he walked back to the locker room repeating Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins' catchphrase during his time with the Washington Redskins.

It's a hilarious moment that doubled as a subtle dig at Cousins. The Packers rendered him ineffective for most of the game. The Vikings' passer ended the night with only 122 passing yards and one touchdown to his name.

With this result, the Packers know that if they beat Detroit in Week 17, they won't have to play in the wild card round. Having defeated the Vikings on the road, Green Bay knows it significantly improved its chances of making the Super Bowl with this victory.
