The Minnesota Vikings held off a stirring comeback from the Green Bay Packers as a 31-29 win made it four successive victories in the NFL.

The visitors were leading 28-0 with five-and-a-half minutes of the second quarter remaining, but Will Reichard’s 33-yard field goal in the fourth proved crucial to get them over the line after fit-again quarterback Jordan Love led a fierce Packers response.
