Nailor got behind the Green Bay Packers defense in part because the Vikings’ top two receivers, Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison, ran intermediate routes. It was Nailor’s sixth touchdown reception of the season on a total of 36 receptions.
The play gave the Vikings a 7-3 lead, an advantage they built without targeting Jefferson once. Of Darnold’s first 12 passes, three went toward Nailor, two to Addison and one apiece to T.J. Hockenson, Johnny Mundt, Aaron Jones and C.J. Ham.
It was Darnold’s fifth TD pass of at least 30 air yards this season, and the first allowed by the Packers.
In a thrilling game against the rival Green Bay Packers, Minnesota Vikings’ quarterback Sam Darnold connected with wide receiver Jalen Nailor for a stunning 31-yard touchdown pass. The play showcased Darnold’s precision passing and Nailor’s speed and skill as he maneuvered past defenders to find the end zone. The touchdown gave the Vikings a crucial lead in the game and ignited the crowd with excitement. It’s moments like these that remind us why football is such an exhilarating sport. Let’s hope for more incredible plays like this as the season continues. #SkolVikings
