Packers receiver Jordy Nelson toyed with the Vikings as he posted his third 100-yard game this season and 11th of his career. He caught seven of his eight targets for 123 yards and two touchdowns, giving him seven scores this season.
Nelson capped Green Bay’s opening drive with an 11-yard touchdown catch. He was tightly covered, yet hauled in Aaron Rodgers’ perfect throw. In the second quarter, Nelson lined up in the slot, adjusted to a Minnesota blitz and used his track speed on a 76-yard catch-and-run. It was his fourth career touchdown catch of 75-plus yards.
Week 8 marked Nelson’s third straight game with a touchdown grab. Nelson also recovered Minnesota's late onside kick attempt.
He’ll look to continue his tear against the Bears in Week 9.
