The Packers blew out the Vikings 41-17 on Sunday, giving them an opportunity to control their own destiny to make the playoffs. The win had to be much sweeter, though, considering what happened before the game.
At the coin toss, the captains of both teams usually shake hands before heading to their respective benches. One of the Vikings captains was linebacker Za’Darius Smith, but the former Packer didn’t shake hands with the Packers captains.
Smith had a difficult breakup with Green Bay, as the team released him following an injury-riddled 2021 season. It bothered him so much that he chose to sign with NFC North rival Minnesota.
