Packers melt down in fourth quarter, Vikings pull off 39-22 victory

Key Points:

• Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur made two critical decisions early in the fourth quarter, opting to forgo a field goal and attempt a QB sneak on fourth-and-1, which failed and shifted momentum to the Minnesota Vikings.
• The Vikings capitalized on numerous Packers defensive penalties and errors, leading to a dominant 39-22 victory despite losing their starting quarterback Kyler Murray to a concussion early in the game.
• Vikings backup QB Carson Wentz managed the game efficiently, throwing three touchdowns with no interceptions, including two to Justin Jefferson, who had his first home touchdowns since 2024.
• Packers QB Jordan Love threw for 387 yards and two touchdowns but also had a critical interception and struggled in the second half as the team was outscored 29-0 after leading 22-10 in the third quarter.
• The Vikings improve to 1-0 and will face the Bears next week, while the Packers fall to 0-1 and will travel to play the Jets, continuing a troubling pattern of losing games after holding significant leads.
