Wide receiver Justin Jefferson hauled in eight catches for 169 yards with two scores, including a 23-yard strike delivered by Cousins with 2:17 to go in the fourth quarter. After a successful two-point conversion from running back Dalvin Cook, the Vikings held a 31-24 lead.
However, on the Packers’ ensuing drive, quarterback Aaron Rodgers connected with wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling for a 75-yard TD to tie the game just before the two-minute warning.

Following the Packers’ touchdown, Cousins and the Vikings made sure to leave no time for Rodgers. After a near-interception by Packers safety Darnell Savage, Cousins went 3-for-3 for 51 yards on the next three plays before Cook ran for one more first down. The Vikings then knelt to set up the final kick by Joseph.
The Packers defense gave up just 34 points over the previous three games but struggled in a game in which Rodgers completed 23 of 33 passes for a season-high 385 yards and four touchdowns.
