Mike McCarthy says the Green Bay Packers have had a "spirited" practice session in preparation for their game against the Minnesota Vikings.

Mike McCarthy has said that the Green Bay Packers are focused on beating the Minnesota Vikings to seal a bye week in the playoffs.

The head coach has described their padded practice session in preparation for today's game as the most "spirited" in the last month.

McCarthy told the Packers' website: "I actually took the pads off them for the last team period. I was a little concerned it was a little too active.

"Our guys are ready. We're focused on beating the Vikings and sweeping the division."

A win for the Packers would also damage the Vikings' chances of clinching a wildcard place in the playoffs.
