Green Bay Packers at Minnesota Vikings: Third Quarter Recap and Fourth Quarter Discussion

The good guys are up by three scores

I’m going to need everybody to get your fours up, as we’re heading to the final quarter of the regular season home finale at U.S. Bank Stadium with the Minnesota Vikings holding a three score lead over the Green Bay Packers, 27-10.

The Vikings got the ball to start the second half, and they wasted no time adding to their lead, as they marched into Green Bay territory and Sam Darnold got his second touchdown pass of the game, this one an 18-yarder to Jordan Addison to make it 20-3 a little more than five minutes into the quarter.

After another three-and-out for the Packers, the Vikings kept up the aggression and it cost them as Sam Darnold threw an interception to Carrington Valentine, with the return setting the Packers up inside the red zone. Green Bay cashed in on the turnover, with Josh Jacobs attoning for his earlier fumble by going in from two yards out to cut the Minnesota lead to 20-10.

Minnesota answered right back with an outstanding drive, getting another touchdown pass from Sam Darnold, this one a 9-yarder to Cam Akers to push the lead back to 17 points at 27-10 with less than a minute left in the third quarter.

As we move to the fourth quarter of play, the Packers are looking at 1st-and-10 from their own 41-yard line.

The Vikings are one quarter away from playing for the #1 seed in the NFC next week, as they lead the Packers by a score of 27-10 after three quarters of play. Will they hang on for their ninth straight? Come join us and find out!
