The Vikings attempted to lose a divisional game against arch-rival Green Bay on Sunday afternoon, but Minnesota prevailed in the end. The Vikings found themselves dominating the game and up 27-10 at the end of the third quarter, but Jordan Love and Green Bay stormed back to make it a two-point game. Sam Darnold and the Vikings would go on to deplete the clock and win the game, 27-25. Minnesota moved to 14-2 on the season with everything on the line next week in Detroit when the Vikings play the Lions.
Sam Darnold, once again, had a tremendous game. The veteran threw for a career-high 377 yards and he tossed three touchdowns to lead Minnesota to victory. The trio of Justin Jefferson, Jordan Addison, and Jalen Nailor all had good games and both Nailor and Addison hauled in scores.
Following the win, social media had its say. Here are some of the best reactions.
