There were an unlimited number of key moments in the Green Bay Packers’ 29-29 tie with Minnesota on Sunday that one could point back to as potentially game-clinching. In a frustrating game in which the Packers could not put the Vikings away, penalties, field goals, timeouts, and drops could be looked at as several deciding factors.
But the true turning point of the ball game may have come in the form of short third down attempts in two possessions sandwiched around the end of the third quarter.
The third down stats as a whole were not stellar for Green Bay.
