NFL Scores Week 10: Minnesota Vikings Get Late TD to Top Green Bay Packers

Adrian Peterson rushed for 192 yards and a touchdown, Gus Frerotte threw for 151 yards and a TD and Chester Taylor had 84 yards receiving and a score as the Minnesota Vikings (5-4) surrendered a second half lead but came back to beat the Green Bay Packers (4-5) 28-27 on Sunday.

 

Both teams traded touchdowns in the first quarter as Frerotte hit Sidney Rice on a 3-yard toss for a 7-0 lead and Ryan Grant answered for the Packers with a one-yard run. After Ryan Longwell booted a 54-yard field goal to give the Vikings a 10-7 lead the next four points for Minnesota were anything but conventional as they picked up two on a penalty by Packers QB Aaron Rodgers on in the endzone that resulted in a safety and then they actually sacked Rodgers for a safety later in the quarter for a 14-7 lead. Green Bay did get a field goal from Mason Crosby as time ran out in the second quarter to cut the Packers deficit to 14-10 at the break.

 

The Vikings came out in the third quarter and quickly went up 21-10 after Frerotte hit Taylor on a 47-yard touchdown but Frerotte gave those points back later in the quarter as Nick Collins picked him off and went 59-yards for a touchdown. Green Bay then forced Minnesota to punt and Will Blackmon took the kick 65 yards for the score and the Packers had their first lead at 24-21.

 

Crosby extended the lead to 27-21 in the fourth quarter with a 40-yard field goal but with just over two minutes left in the game Peterson busted a 29-yard touchdown run to put the Vikings in front 28-27. Crosby had a shot at winning the game with a 53-yard field goal but his kick was wide right and Minnesota held on for the win.
