The Minnesota Vikings drove 78 yards in 10 plays to score a season-opening touchdown against the hyped Green Bay Packers defense on Sunday at U.S. Bank Stadium.
It was nothing short of a shaky start for Joe Barry’s group, which is loaded with high-end talent and expected to ascend to elite status in 2022.
Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins completed seven of eight passes for 73 yards and a 5-yard touchdown pass to Justin Jefferson, who caught three passes for 47 yards.
The Vikings converted an early 3rd-and-5 with a 20-yard completion from Cousins to Jefferson.
The Vikings threw the ball on eight of 10 plays.
