Vikings 'Resilient' Defense Stymies Green Bay's Attack

MINNEAPOLIS — The Vikings had seen this scene before.

Up by one score with the minutes ticking away Sunday night, Minnesota’s defense rose to the occasion once again, forcing a pair of turnovers on Green Bay’s final two possessions to secure a 17-14 win.

The play of the stout unit brought back memories of the Vikings Week 17 win at Lambeau Field last season, as Minnesota preserved a seven-point lead with a stand in the closing seconds.

“Our thing is that we’re going to put up a fight,” said Vikings safety Harrison Smith.
