Packers lead Vikings 3-0 after one

Minnesota won the opening coin toss and deferred. Davante Adams converted both first downs on the Packers’ opening series with a 19-yard catch down the sideline on second-and-8 from the Green Bay 27 and then a 30-yard pass on corner route to the Vikings’ 17 after motioning from the backfield.

The Packers settled for a 35-yard Mason Crosby field goal to take a 3-0 lead with 11 minutes, 48 seconds left in the first quarter.

Sean Mannion’s first pass was a completion to tight end Tyler Conklin. Head Coach Matt LaFleur was forced to use his first challenge on the play after officials didn’t rule Conklin down by initial contact. The challenge saved 11 yards.

The Vikings went for it on fourth-and-3 from the Green Bay 47 but Mannion’s play-action pass to C.J. Ham was incomplete with Preston Smith being credited with the pass defensed.

Aaron Jones broke a 27-yard run off left tackle on third down after AJ Dillon picked up eight yards on his first two carries. The Packers unsuccessfully went for it on fourth-and-2 at the Minnesota 11, with Aaron Rodgers’ pass for Adams falling incompletion for the turnover on downs.
