Packers Collapse in Historic Vikings Comeback | NFL News

The Green Bay Packers’ 2026 season opener ended in a stunning collapse after leading by 12 points late in the third quarter. Jordan Love threw for nearly 400 yards and Christian Watson scored two touchdowns, but the Vikings—down their starting QB—erased the deficit and won by 17, becoming the first team in NFL history to come back from trailing by 12+ with under 20 minutes left and win by 17+. Despite outgaining Minnesota and having more yards per play, Green Bay’s fourth-quarter meltdown was fueled by 12 penalties for 98 yards and costly turnovers. This loss marks their sixth straight defeat and adds another painful chapter to a season that began with promise but ended in historic futility.
