It’s officially scorigami Sunday in the NFL. For the first time in seven years, there were two scorigamis on the same day and they both happened just hours apart. The first scorigami came when the Bears beat the Panthers 59-37 during the 1 p.m. ET slate of games. A few hours later, the Vikings and Packers game also ended with a scorigami and this one might have been even crazier. Going into the fourth quarter, the Packers were leading Minnesota 22-17, but then the wheels fell off the wagon for...

Justin Jefferson had a season to forget in 2025. Amid quarterback play that ranged from inconsistent to downright bad, the four-time All-Pro wide receiver had the worst season of his career, tallying 84 catches for 1,048 yards and just two touchdowns. That was with a combination of J.J. McCarthy, Carson Wentz and Max Brosmer throwing him the ball. On Sunday, Jefferson was back to catching passes from Wentz thanks to a reckless first-quarter hit that left new Vikings quarterback Kyler Murray co...

Trey Smack’s 40-yard field goal was good. Green Bay Packers coach Matt LaFleur took it off the board. Minnesota’s Dallas Turner was offside on the kick, and LaFleur accepted the penalty rather than the three points, giving Green Bay fourth-and-1 at the Vikings’ 17 with a 22-17 lead and 13:11 left. Jordan Love audibled into [...]
