Packers proved they belong in elite company despite Week 2 tie with Vikings

The Green Bay Packers took the Minnesota Vikings’ best punch and stayed upright. Kirk Cousins played his best game as a pro in a big spot. It took an act of God for Adam Thielen to catch what turned out to be the game-tying touchdown, plus an act of ineptitude to set it up. Green Bay withstood the best that the NFC’s best had to offer without playing their own best.

There was the wonky officiating (a generous description). A Mason Crosby missed field goal could have won it in regulation.
