Packers 29, Vikings 29: Special teams successes, miscues define week two tie

On Sunday, Aaron Rodgers fought through a difficult left knee injury to give the Green Bay Packers a chance to win a crucial week two matchup against the Minnesota Vikings. In a tough game against the reigning division champs, the Packers got contributions from all portions of the team, including a huge touchdown from its special teams early, some solid defense through the middle of the contest, and a big interception late in the game from Ha Ha Clinton-Dix to help extend their lead.

However, a late touchdown and two-point conversion by Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins pulled the game even after a very questionable roughing the passer on Clay Matthews wiped out an interception by Jaire Alexander.
