Things got chippy Sunday at the end of the Green Bay Packers’ 33-10 win over the Minnesota Vikings at U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis, Minn.
Vikings cornerback Andrew Booth Jr. got into it with Packers running back Aaron Jones after the latter was inadvertently hit in the face.

Booth was seen arguing with another Packers player. The inactive player shoved Booth, who retaliated by swatting away the former’s arm. The resulting altercation led to Jones accidentally being swatted in the face.
Jones, who did not seem to be initially involved in the scrum, reacted by pushing Booth toward the sideline. Thankfully for Packers fans, the incident did not escalate further.
The Packers’ victory Sunday set up a chance to clinch a playoff berth with another win next week against the Chicago Bears. Green Bay can’t afford any foolish suspensions before such a huge game.
Jones didn’t appear bothered by the incident for too long though. He was seen sporting a huge smile while rocking a “Happy New Year” hat in the Packers’ locker room.

Jones was a big reason why Green Bay handily beat the Vikings. The former Pro Bowler rushed for 120 yards on 20 carries. The performance followed his season-best 127 rushing yards on 21 carries last week in the Packers’ 33-30 win over the Carolina Panthers.
