Aaron Rodgers completed 22 of 31 passes for 301 yards and four touchdowns on Sunday as the visiting Green Bay Packers routed the Minnesota Vikings 31-3 to complete a season sweep of their NFC North rivals.

The win was the fourth straight for the Packers (7-3), who moved into a first-place tie with the Chicago Bears in the division.

Greg Jennings had seven catches for 152 yards and three touchdowns for the Packers.

Green Bay spotted the Vikings (3-7) a 3-0 lead on a 24-yard field goal by Ryan Longwell midway through the first quarter, but took control with 17 unanswered points to take a 14-point lead into halftime.

Mason Crosby's 42-yard field goal tied the score at 3-3 with 9:44 left in the second quarter before Rodgers capped an eight-play, 80-yard drive with an 11-yard TD pass to Jennings to give the Packers their first lead.

After Tramon Williams picked off a Brett Favre pass, Rodgers capped a six-play, 53-yard drive with a 3-yard touchdown pass to James Jones with 58 seconds left before halftime.
