GREEN BAY, Wisc. — Early in the fourth quarter on Saturday, the Vikings defense allowed a 30-yard completion on a first-and-20 play.
The play summed up a tough day for Minnesota, as Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers eclipsed the 300-yard passing mark for the day. In doing so, Rodgers became the first quarterback to reach that mark against the Vikings this season.
It was a stat the Vikings felt was more of their own doing than the play of the Packers.
“They made the plays, and credit them, but we had as much to do with them winning as they did,” said Vikings linebacker Chad Greenway.
