Packers-Vikings Final Score: Green Bay collapses again in 39-22 loss

September 13, 2026

Minnesota pulled off a stunning 39-22 Week 1 comeback victory over Green Bay at U.S. Bank Stadium on September 13, 2026.

After starting quarterback Kyler Murray suffered a concussion during the opening quarter of his team debut, reserve passer Carson Wentz took charge and orchestrated an offensive turnaround. Despite the Packers controlling a 22-10 advantage in the second half, a failed late gamble by head coach Matt LaFleur, paired with three costly defensive flags, allowed the hosts to completely shift momentum.

The Vikings finished the contest by reeling off 29 unanswered points.

Wentz capitalized on the opportunities by firing two scoring strikes to wide receiver Justin Jefferson and hitting him on a two-point conversion that pushed Minnesota ahead 25-22 with 6:37 remaining in regulation. The defeat echoes Green Bay's previous collapse in Chicago the prior January, where they squandered an 18-point edge.

Running back Aaron Jones Sr. and cornerback Keisean Nixon also featured in the fiery divisional matchup, which ultimately left the visiting squad outscored 29-3 over the final two quarters.
