Vikings lead Packers 17-0 after Kirk Cousins' INT overturned by replay
Kirk Cousins nearly had his first interception since his return to the Vikings.
The Green Bay Packers are currently last in the NFC North Division standings, yet they are just a game away from first place. On Sunday, November 15, they will host the Minnesota Vikings at Lambeau Field, aiming to avenge their opening-day defeat. Green Bay has triumphed in five of their last six matches and amassed a season-best 45 points against New England on November 8.
Quarterback Jordan Love will not feature running back Josh Jacobs, who is recovering from a finger injury following surgery on November 13. However, Love will have receivers Matthew Golden and Christian Watson, who together amassed over 300 yards against the Patriots.
The Vikings, conversely, have struggled to score consistently, failing to reach 20 points since Week 5. Their lone victory over the Buffalo Bills on November 9 ended with a 23-6 loss. In an effort to enhance their passing offense, the Vikings acquired quarterback Kirk Cousins before the trade deadline. Cousins' addition should enable the Vikings to better utilize their star receiver, Justin Jefferson.
The Vikings have scored a league-low 146 points, 70 points fewer than the Packers. Nevertheless, their defense has been robust, conceding only 116 points, or 14.5 points per game.
