The Vikings benefitted from a huge penalty at the end of the first half. Will Reichard missed a 55-yard field goal on the final play of the half, but there was a questionable offsides penalty on the Packers. Reichard got another chance and nailed a 50-yarder. That put the Vikings ahead 13-3 at halftime.

Jared Goff threw for 303 yards and 3 touchdowns as the Detroit Lions avenged last season's NFC title game loss to the San Francisco 49ers.
