Game Recap:
This was a dominant performance by the Vikings!! Granted, the Packers were out some key players, the Vikings were the more physical team yesterday. It was a great showing for Kevin O'Connell in his first game as head coach.
Minnesota drove down on the first drive of the game for a touchdown to Justin Jefferson. That would happen a lot as Jefferson scored twice that day and accumulated 185 receiving yards, including a 150+ yard first half which is the most in Vikings history. 
The defense surprised many early with a goal-line stop of the Packers and then held Green Bay to only 7 points all day. It was nice to see the team playing well and playing free. 

Injury Report
Cameron Dantzler was out of the game on Sunday momentarily but returned. Rookie safety Lewis Cine was held out of action on Sunday due to a knee injury. 

Up Next
Now the Vikings will travel to Philadelphia to face the Eagles on Monday Night Football. Kickoff is set for 7:15 PM.
