Vikings also beat the Packers

Vikings also beat the Packers

The Minnesota Vikings spoiled Jordan Love’s comeback with the Green Bay Packers and kept their clean slate in the National Football League (NFL). The team around quarterback Sam Darnold, which started the season strongly, celebrated its fourth win in the fourth game with 31:29 at Lambeau Field. The Vikings are the only undefeated team in the National Football Conference (NFC) alongside the Seattle Seahawks (3-0).

Love suffered a ligament injury in his left knee in the Packers’ opening game against the Philadelphia Eagles (29:34) at the NFL’s Brazil premiere in Sao Paulo. Now the quarterback returned to action and suffered a home defeat with the Packers – the comeback came too late. Green Bay won the final quarter 22-3.

The 25-year-old Love completed 32 of 54 passes for 389 yards, threw four touchdown passes and had three interceptions. Darnold (275 yards) threw three touchdown passes with one interception.

The Eagles presented themselves weak again. The 16:33 after a 7:24 halftime deficit at the Tampa Bay Buccaneers was the second defeat in the fourth game for Jalen Hurts’ team. Philadelphia had lost two at home to the Atlanta Falcons (21:22) in week two and was disappointed across the board. The Cincinnati Bengals got their first win of the season with 34:24 at the Carolina Panthers. The Jacksonville Jaguars with quarterback Trevor Lawrence continue to win after a 20:24 win over the Houston Texans.
