Aaron Rodgers was back in vintage form on Sunday a week after struggling his his return from COVID-19. But it wasn't enough for the Green Bay Packers.
Justin Jefferson erupted for a two-touchdown day as the Minnesota Vikings fought back a late Packers rally to secure a wild 34-31 win over their NFC North rivals. With the win, the Vikings improved to 5-5 to stay in the NFC wild card hunt, while the Packers fell to 8-3 and dropped a chance to maintain control of the conference's No. 1 seed.
Jefferson caught the second of his two touchdowns on a 23-yard sideline toss from an under-pressure Kirk Cousins to give the Vikings a 31-24 lead late in the fourth quarter.
