The Green Bay Packer’s victory over the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday had more than on-field meaning as the Packers and the U.S. Air Force shared a wartime salute during the postgame moment. Two Air Force jets performed a flyover that drew applause from the crowd and a formal thank-you from the team.
The game itself was a statement performance for Green Bay, with the defense dominating and the running game providing steady production. The Jordan Love-led team held Minnesota to 145 total yards, forced multiple turnovers and recorded five sacks in a clear team effort.

That on-field dominance set the stage for the ceremonial flyover that followed, giving fans a memorable visual to cap the afternoon. Team officials used social channels to acknowledge the Air Force’s presence and to express appreciation for the recognition shown to service members and the region.
The visit by the aircraft came during a week of heightened divisional importance, as Green Bay prepares for a short-week matchup and a stretch of critical NFC North games. The timing added a civic dimension to a win that also preserved the team’s standing in a tight playoff race.
Players and coaches pointed to complementary football as the reason for the result, with the run game handing control to the defense that answered with turnovers and pressure. Special teams also delivered a pivotal play that swung momentum and helped convert defensive success into scoring opportunities.
