The Vikings' wild week started with five quarters of back-and-forth football ending in a 29-29 tie in Green Bay. Players from both teams expressed confusion over how to feel after a game in which both sides had layup chances to win in regulation. Quarterback Kirk Cousins said, "I don't know what to feel after a tie." Receiver Adam Thielen added "Am I happy? Am I sad? Am I mad? Angry? I don't know."
Within hours of the game's awkward finish, the Vikings front office had already placed a call to veteran free-agent receiver Aldrick Robinson. Two of their young receivers, Laquon Treadwell and Stacy Coley, had untimely blunders against the Packers.
