The act is usually used among Vikings fans at US Bank Stadium in Minneapolis to celebrate a positive. Instead, the Packers got the last laugh and were able to make quick work of their rivals.
McCarthy had two interceptions in the game – the other was thrown to linebacker Isaiah McDuffie. The Packers sacked McCarthy five times and forced him to fumble once. Myles Price also fumbled on the play and the Packers recovered it.
Green Bay held McCarthy to 87 passing yards. The Vikings had 93 rushing yards as a team.
