Game summary:
The Vikings had a great first half in Lambeau! The defense was stifling the Packers offense, that had been fairly efficient as of late. Minnesota's offense was churning out touchdowns. A special teams mistake put Green Bay on the board before halftime, which didn't happen again because punt returner Brandon Powell wasn't back in the injury tent again. Sam Darnold was firing on all cylinders in the first half. 
Then the 2nd half arrived and both sides of the ball eventually fell flat. Minnesota's defense started playing back, which came back to bite them with Green Bay scoring 29 points late to nearly bring the Vikings to the brink of collapse. Fortunately for Minnesota, the Packers' Jordan Love insisted on giving the ball back to the Vikings which in turn won the game for the purple. Another historic game in the border battle series. Minnesota certainly seems to be rolling right now despite the near-collapse at Lambeau. 

Injury Report
WR/PR Brandon Powell briefly left the game late in the 2nd quarter before returning in the 3rd quarter.
EDGE Dallas Turner was held out of the game this week, still dealing with the injury he suffered a couple weeks ago.

Up Next
The Vikings will now head across the pond to play the Aaron Rodgers-led New York Jets in London. Kickoff is at 8:30 AM CT on Sunday.
