The Vikings have taken a 7-3 lead on the Packers with 11:52 remaining in the second quarter.

Jalen Nailor got wide open and caught a 31-yard touchdown pass from Sam Darnold. It completed a nine-play, 77-yard drive.

The Vikings have outgained the Packers 125 to 77 and could lead by more, but Will Reichard missed a 57-yard field goal after the kick hit the crossbar.

The Vikings’ first drive ended with a punt after Cam Bynum recovered a Josh Jacobs fumble at the Minnesota 38 that Jerry Tillery forced.

The Packers settled for a red-zone field goal with Brandon McManus making a 22-yard chip-shot kick. The eight-play, 49-yard drive ended at the Minnesota 4.

Darnold is 9-of-12 for 95 yards, while Jordan Love is 6-of-9 for 43.
