Vikings 20, Packers 17

An undistinguished first half, except the brilliant interception returned for a touchdown by Dovonte Edwards. The second half was all Vikings, with Mewelde Moore doing a great job of bouncing his runs to the outside (especially to the left). Here is the first report from the Minneapolis Star Tribune:

Minnesota kicker Paul Edinger kicked a 27-yard field goal with three seconds left in the game to beat the Green Bay Packers 20-17 Monday night.

Earlier in the game, Minnesota's Ciatrick Fason scored on a 1-yard run, rallying the Vikings to a 14-14 tie with the Green Bay Packers after three quarter on Monday night.

Fason's touchdown capped a 13-play, 88-yard drive that included two penalties on the Packers, including an illegal contact flag on third-and-6 on the Green Bay 12 and a pass interference penalty in the end zone two plays later. It was Minnesota's first offensive touchdown in nearly nine quarters.

Update, 22 November: "This one may be the worst because No. 1, it was Minnesota; No. 2, it was at home; and No. 3, it was Minnesota again," said Green Bay defensive end Aaron Kampman.
