The final drive completely redeemed Cousins. In only three plays, he drove the Vikings down 58 yards and threw the game-winning 28-yard touchdown to K.J. Osborn ...

He was all over the field in stopping both the run and the pass. The biggest lowlight for Sullivan was in the first quarter. With 11 tackles and two passes defended, the proof was in the pudding. Minnesota Vikings safety Camryn Bynum (24) and linebacker Eric Kendricks (54) break up a pass in the endzone intended for Green Bay Packers tight end Robert Tonyan (85) late in the fourth quarter during their football game Sunday, September 11, 2022, at U.S. He got wide open on former Vikings cornerback Mike Hughes on a corner route in catching the game-winning touchdown. Sullivan was signed to give the Vikings some stability in the slot. He had seven catches for 88 yards over the first two weeks despite getting open consistently in the first two weeks. Holding him to just three receptions for 14 yards, Jefferson was mostly a non-factor on the afternoon. After playing really well in the preseason and the first two weeks, Joseph had his worst game of the season.

Cook's longest run of the afternoon occurred in the second quarter, when he totaled 13 yards on first down. "But what a competitor, and I'm really proud of the work he put in today, knowing we would come back to him after not getting them the rock enough last Monday."

Cook finished with 96 rushing yards and a touchdown as a focal point of the offense, but he injured his shoulder while fumbling.

- The Vikings promoted safety Myles Dorn and cornerback Duke Shelley from the practice squad to suit up against Detroit. A week after O'Connell lamented not giving the running backs enough carries, the team ran for 123 yards and two scores. Lions running back Jamaal Williams has been a thorn for the Vikings. But he told coaches and teammates he intended to play next Sunday against the Saints. After being evaluated in the medical tent, Cook stayed on the sideline for the rest of the game.
