- Aaron Jones Sr. broke a 22-22 tie with a 3-yard rushing touchdown at 6:37 of the 4th quarter, with Carson Wentz hitting Justin Jefferson for the two-point conversion to make it 25-22.
- Jordan Love threw two touchdown passes to Christian Watson (81 yards and 2 yards) in the first half, fueling a Packers advantage that grew to 22-10 by the 5:09 mark of the third quarter.
- Carson Wentz threw two touchdown passes for the Vikings — 39 yards to Justin Jefferson and 16 yards to T.J. Hockenson — and connected with Jefferson on the go-ahead two-point conversion.
- Trey Smack went 3-for-3 on field goal attempts for Green Bay (59, 43, and 26 yards), while Will Reichard added a 38-yard field goal for Minnesota.
Why it matters: The Vikings erased a 22-17 fourth-quarter deficit with two unanswered touchdowns inside the final 6:37 of game time, flipping a one-score game into a 10-point lead with 4:48 left. Mason's 1-yard run sent Minnesota's win probability to 96.3%, while Green Bay's 22-10 third-quarter edge evaporated once Wentz found Jefferson and Hockenson and the Vikings' ground game closed out the final 8 yards of offense.
