That seemed a little ... staged
The Vikings put together a memorable celebration after Dalvin Cook's first-quarter TD. Adam Thielen was lifted between two players as Cook and Stefon Diggs "limboed" underneath. "They planned it in the locker room before we ran out. I thought that was original and well executed ... that was going to be a tough one to pull together," quarterback Kirk Cousins said.
MANO-A-MANO
Vikes CB Xavier Rhodes vs. Pack WR Davonte Adams
WHO WON?
Adams was targeted eight times and caught five, including a touchdown pass, and drew a pass interference penalty on Rhodes. Give the edge to Adams.
PLAY OF THE GAME
Roll, pass and run
The Vikings led 17-14 late in the third quarter when QB Kirk Cousins (8) rolled to his right on second-and-5 from the Packers 14. Adam Thielen (19) camped in a hole, caught Cousins' pass and turned to bull into the end zone. That proved to be the winning touchdown.
THE QUOTE
"We had to go out and earn it tonight, and we did."
