By PACKERSWIRE The Green Bay Packers got four total touchdowns from Jordan Love, another 100-yard rushing game from Aaron Jones, a pair of touchdowns from Jayden Reed, a surprise performance from Bo Melton and a few takeaways on defense during Sunday night’s 33-10 win over the Minnesota Vikings. The Packers led 10-0 in the first quarter, 23-3 at halftime and 30-3 late in the third quarter. The Vikings, a team that had played 14 one-score games, got crushed at home. Here are seven standouts from the Packers’ blowout win over the Vikings on New Year’s Eve: Love completed 24 of 33 passes for 256 yards, three touchdown passes and zero interceptions, and he rushed for a fourth score. Amazingly, Love was one slight overthrow on an extended play (targeting Malik Heath) and one slight miss/drop on fourth down (targeting Bo Melton) from producing five passing scores. The first-year starter completed 72 percent of his passes, averaged 7.8 yards per attempt and didn’t have a turnover. His passer rating? 125.3. Love has produced multiple touchdown passes, zero interceptions and a passer rating over 100.0 six of the last seven games. Melton made the absolute most of his third and final practice squad elevation. The second-year receiver caught a career-high six passes, produced the Packers’ first 100-yard receiving game of the season, caught his first career touchdown pass and delivered both the dagger score and the game’s final first down. Melton’s night could have been even bigger had he hauled in a fourth down pass in the first half. Expect the Packers to sign him to the 53-man roster at some point next week. Smith made two impact plays against left tackle Christian Darrisaw. His pressure on third down ended the Vikings’ first possession, and his strip-sack late in the first half set up a Packers touchdown and helped create a commanding halftime lead. The veteran edge rusher For the second straight week, Jones delivered explosive runs and went over 100 rushing yards. He had gains of 19 yards and 25 yards as a rusher and added one catch for 10 yards. The Packers can be a dominant offense when Jones is healthy and delivering on the ground. Jones now has a run of at least 20 yards in each of the last three games. He eventually left with a chest injury, but Reed was a dominant force in the first half. The rookie caught six passes for 89 yards and two touchdowns. His first score — a 33-yarder on a catch between two deep safeties — put the Packers up 10-0. The second — an incredible catch-and-run of 25 yards — gave the Packers a 23-3 advantage before the half. Reed set the team record for catches by a rookie in a single season and became just the third rookie in team history to had 10 touchdowns in a season. The slot corner finished with a team-high 11 tackles, 0.5 sacks and a pass breakup. He made a huge tackle on third down to help create a turnover on downs, timed out a blitz on a sack of Nick Mullens and defended a late fourth down pass into the end zone. Nixon played nearly every defensive snap for a secondary that allowed less than 100 combined receiving yards to Justin Jefferson, Jordan Addison and K.J. Osborn. He defended three passes, including a fortunate interception of a deflected pass by Jaren Hall in the first half. Ballentine was one-on-one with Justin Jefferson down the sideline on one of his other pass breakups. The Packers didn’t have Jaire Alexander or Eric Stokes but it didn’t matter on Sunday night. Ballentine handled his business in coverage. His three pass defensed were a game high.

"Kudos to Amy for making sure that the tickets to the tailgate party were waiting for me at the reception desk! Your personal phone call and text messages went above and beyond customer satisfaction! I can't wait for the 2024 season, rest assured that my go-to Packer's game supplier will be Event USA for a long time.

"Thank you so much Cathy, greatly appreciate your help.
As always, EventUSA has been awesome to deal with in booking the Lodge Kohler package for the Tampa Bay Game,
particularly for me traveling from Sydney, Australia, it takes the stress out of the booking process. "

"Good Morning, Nicole - Everything you did turned out great. The seats were great. Access to the air conditioned club lounge was great. Lots of Packers fans in the club lounge and overall at the stadium. The tailgate party at the fancy restaurant in the hotel was fabulous. The servers just kept on bringing out different sliders and desserts. Good thing that I got in a 30-minute run along the river in the morning. So, thank you! You may be speaking with me in November if I can work out getting up to Green Bay for a game. It's been too long since my last time.
One of the best aspects of this weekend was interacting with so many people from Wisconsin and learning their personal stories of things Packers. And we even met a couple from St. Petersburg, Florida (my home county) and were able to tell them about the Varsity Club tavern and Packers bar in Clearwater where Mark Murphy's mother is in attendance -- very nice lady whose retirement home is in Clearwater, which borders my little city of Dunedin. Pre-COVID, I always went to the Varsity when the Packers games weren't televised locally -- lots of Wisconsin natives there, too + they serve brats and sauerkraut during Packers games. I'm glad that you are working for Event USA.

"Dennis - I was blessed to join Amy and some of your customers at the Morton's tailgate as well as after the game. She does an amazing job for you. Every single customer I met praised Event USA for being able to arrange the hotel and tickets and fabulous tailgate party in such a quick time. Having been to some great tour tailgate parties in Jacksonville and Kansas City and old San Francisco, a lot can be said of the long-term benefit of having really great tailgate parties. Morton's was probably one of the best - amazing food, patio sitting on the riverfront, walk to stadium, open bar!!! It was first class fun!!!"

"Hi Amy-

Even though the game was not what we expected- we are packers fans for life-lol!
Go pack go!!"
-Julie Mastrianni
"I want to thank Event USA and in particular Amy Flores for the Jacksonville trip. We have used you before and always were very pleased with the packages you have set up and your service.
My son who lives in Charleston, SC and myself who lives in Minnesota, decided we needed to do a guys trip and decided to go through your company to see the opener in New Orleans. I initially called and talked with Amy about some questions I had and booked our trip. After itinerary and info was emailed to us, it soon became apparent that the trip to New Orleans wouldn’t happen. In steps Amy, wondering if we would be interested in Dallas if the game was moved there and a package was set up. Then finally the move to Jacksonville and continued communication from Amy on our interest. It was getting late at that point and I was wondering if she would be able to pull off setting up a package in Jacksonville. She did it.
We went to Jacksonville and had a great time. The accommodations and the tail gate were fabulous. If only the Packer team we were hoping for had made the trip.
Thank you Event USA and in particular Amy Flores."

"Thank you for all your help. I had a great time at the Packer-Raider game opening day. I have already begun telling interested Packer fans in Sacramento about your service. The next time I come to Green Bay for a game, I’ll be sure to ask for your help. God bless you and God bless the Green Bay Packers."
-Frank Chavez, Sacramento
"I just wanted to say that I had such a great time. The whole weekend was so much fun. I enjoyed the Player Autograph Party and the tailgate party was just the best. After coming from a country that loves soccer, it was nice to mix with people who have the same interests as me. Thank you once again, Green Bay is one very special place."
-Beverley Moore, Lancaster
"My accommodations at the Best Western Midway were excellent. I was picked up at the airport and returned promptly. No problems at all. Your representative at the hotel on game day was very pleasant and helpful. The tailgate party was super, great food, great drinks and lots of fun. Obviously, Lambeau Field and the game itself was great. I will continue to use Event USA in the future, and I will definitely tell anyone who I come across to give you a call. One last thing, the hospitality I experienced in Green Bay was incredible. I have traveled to many places, and I don’t think there are more friendly people than the people of Green Bay. Thank you again and see you next year!"
-David Anastas, Worchester
"My wife and I booked the tour to Tampa. The trip was so well organized from start to finish. It started with the people in the office with their friendly help over the phone, to receiving the tickets in the mail, and meeting the tour guides with their upbeat personalities. Signs guided us in the airport and information was posted in our motel lobbies to keep us posted. Your people had everything in order. Talk about organization, you had it. Event USA made this a most memorable trip. Thanks for all involved."
-Dick Koerner, Neenah
"I wish to convey my sincere thanks and gratitude for providing my husband and I with, what he refers to as the greatest experience of my life, apart from my wedding day."

-Sam Jones, Sedalia
"I just want to thank you for the wonderful job your staff did last weekend for the Packers vs. Lions game. This was our first time utilizing your program and we were not disappointed at all. In fact, we can’t wait to schedule and event for next season’s games. From my first experience with your staff placing my order until the very end at checkout of the hotel, everything was perfect. You truly out-do yourselves to please everyone. Thanks again for making our stay in Green Bay one of the best."
-Kim Ewing and Bruce DeMaine, Ann Arbor
"Thanks so much for the best weekend ever! You not only got us in all the Magazines, TV, WWW pages and even the big screen at Lambeau Field, but Disney World on the side? Nice job – You and your family are top notch – we were on the best tour for the Super Bowl! Seeing the Green Bay Packers win back the Lombardi Trophy was a life long dream of this Packer fan, and you all were so dedicated to the job of taking care of us that, like the Packers, we were a winning team! Keep me on your list."
