In his first game as Vikings head coach, Kevin O'Connell put the ball in the hands of his best player and rode Justin Jefferson to a 23-7 win over the Packers on Sunday at U.S. Bank Stadium.
Jefferson had a career-high 184 receiving yards, including a franchise-record 168 in the first half, on nine catches and scored the Vikings' two touchdowns.
Greg Joseph added three field goals for the Vikings, including a 56-yarder. Kirk Cousins was 23 of 32 for 277 yards and no interceptions while Dalvin Cook rushed for 90 yards on 20 carries.
Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers struggled to find a rhythm with a different group of receivers and with the Vikings' pass rush bearing down on him repeatedly.
