As it stands, Jordan Love and the Green Bay Packers aren’t doing so well after falling to the Minnesota Vikings in Week 4. This led franchise great Brett Favre to send out a powerful message of support to the star quarterback.
In a thrilling showdown at Lambeau Field, the Vikings edged out the Packers with a score of 31-29, improving their record to 4-0. Sam Darnold led the charge with three touchdown passes, including a highlight-reel 14-yard connection to Justin Jefferson. The Vikings surged to an early 28-point lead, capitalizing on two interceptions and an aggressive offense, marking their best start since 2016.
Despite returning from injury, Love threw for 389 yards and four touchdowns but also matched a career high with three interceptions. Green Bay fought back in the second half, narrowing the gap with two late touchdowns from Dontayvion Wicks.
The game featured a dramatic finish, as the Packers scored a touchdown with just 56 seconds remaining, bringing the score to 31-29. However, the Vikings secured the win when Josh Oliver recovered a dropped onside kick attempt by Green Bay.
Minnesota’s success can be attributed to a strong offensive line and effective play-calling, allowing Darnold to exploit a depleted Packers secondary. The Vikings have shown resilience all season, having trailed for less than four minutes in total across their games thus far.
In contrast, the Packers are left to regroup after a disappointing home loss, despite strong performances from players like Aaron Jones, who had 139 total yards. Coach Matt LaFleur acknowledged the need for improvement, emphasizing that the team must learn from this performance.
