Sam Darnold rushed for a career-high 377 yards as the Vikings beat the Packers 27-25

Sam Darnold threw for a career-high 377 yards and led the Vikings to a 27-25 victory over the Packers.

Minnesota (14-2) travels to Detroit (13-2) next week with the winner taking the NFC North title and the conference’s No. 1 seed. The Lions’ game against San Francisco on Monday night is now meaningless. The Packers fell to 11-5.

The Packers trailed 13-3 at halftime and 20-3 and 27-10 in the third quarter. As with their Week 4 meeting, when the Vikings led 28-0 early before falling to a 31-29 win, the Packers rallied but fell short.

Emanuel Wilson scored on a 5-yard run with 6:12 left, and then Jordan Love completed a pass to Romeo Doubs for the 2-point conversion before Malik Heath completed a 3-yard touchdown pass with 2:18 left caught.

But the Vikings ran out the clock by picking up two first downs, including a naked bootleg on third-and-2 from the Green Bay 49 with 1:49 left when Cam Akers bobbled the ball but held on to it.

Darnold threw three touchdown passes, a 31-yarder to Jalen Nailor, an 18-yarder to Jordan Addison and a 9-yarder to Akers. He completed 33 of 43 passes and threw an interception that the Packers turned into their first touchdown, a 2-yard run by Josh Jacobs.

Justin Jefferson had eight catches for 92 yards and Nailor added five catches for 81 yards.

Will Reichard made field goals from 25 and 50 yards, but missed a 57-yard field goal after the kick hit the crossbar and a 43-yarder after the kick hit the left upright. He also missed a 55-yarder, but the officials ruled Edgerrin Cooper offside and Reichard made the 50-yarder on the final play of the first half.

The Vikings outscored the Packers 441 to 271.

Love was 19 of 30 for 185 yards and a touchdown, and Jacobs ran for 69 yards and a touchdown on 17 carries, but also lost a fumble. Doubs led the Packers with seven receptions for 58 yards.
