“Yeah, I was gonna challenge it, but they told me it [would be reviewed because it was initially ruled] a turnover,” Zimmer said.

Cousins explained his mindset in the wild roller coaster of events.

“I think the read wasn’t necessarily a bad read, but maybe obviously the throw didn’t give him that chance,” Cousins said. “I certainly thought, ‘Now the Packers are getting the ball back and they have good field position,’ and it wasn’t a good feeling walking to the sideline.

“But [Vikings quarterbacks coach Andrew] Janocko told me that he may have dropped it, and you’re just waiting for the answer,” Cousins added.

Jefferson’s final catch went for 6 yards and moved the chains as the game hit the 2-minute warning.

Minnesota now has first-and-10 at its own 36, with both teams holding two timeouts.
