Madness at Lambeau Field: Green Bay and Minnesota match

One minute and forty-five seconds to play. Green Bay leads 29-21. Kirk Cousins ​​(35/48, 425 yards, 4 TDs, 1 int) is under pressure. He launches in depth. The ball falls into the green hands of Jaire Alexander. It's over ... No, The referees whistled. In the wake of his pass, Cousins ​​was touched by Clay Matthews. The striped men decide that this is a brutality on the smuggler. At the sight of the images, it is very, very severe. Since this season, the rule states that a defender should not put all his weight on the quarterback. One could honestly argue that Matthews is retaining a little on the fallout. Ironically, this rule was partly born because Packer Aaron Rodgers's collarbone gave way last year to a Vikings defender.

The whistle leaves the ball in Minnesota. Cousins, already intercepted on the previous possession, is saved. And he captures his second life. He finds Adam Thielen (12 rec, 131 yards, 1 TD) between the defenders for a sumptuous touchdown at 36 seconds from the end. He then gives the two-point conversion to Stefon Diggs (9 rec, 128 yards, 2 TDs) for the equalizer.

Aaron Rodgers (30/42, 281 yards, 1 TD) responds well. In a few passes, he puts Mason Crosby in position for the 52-yard field goal that could win the game. Missed. The game goes into overtime.

Kickers in agony

The first possession of the extension offers a 49-yard field goal to Daniel Carlson and the Vikings. Missed. The Packers are no better than a punt. We go to sudden death. Minnesota monopolizes the ball and places Carlson at 35 yards from the posts at 4 seconds from the end. It's all cooked? Always not. New failure and draw.

Wake up late

The Packers will have enough to bite their fingers. The green and yellow dominated the majority of the match. Despite a knee firmly supported by protection, it was a serene Rodgers who led his team early in the game. Above all, Green Bay has been present in all sectors. It was by checking a punt that the special teams opened the scoring. And after the equalizer signed Laquon Treadwell (2 rec, 23 yards, 1 TD), it's a Rodgers pass for Davante Adams (8 rec, 64 yards, 1 TD) that put Green Bay ahead (14-7). After a kick missed by Carlson, the Packers scored at the foot to reach the break with ten steps ahead (17-7). A field goal in the third period widened the gap (20-7).

Cousins ​​rang the charge by sending Diggs to the touchdown twice at the beginning of the last period (23-21). But Green Bay seemed to have regained control of the situation with a field goal (26-21), an interception and another field goal (29-21). But the last drive full of twists, between the whistle and the superb pass of Cousins, finally gave these two teams the second draw of the NFL season.
