Cousins Returns to Lambeau Field and Leads Vikings Past Packers
Aaron Jones scored on the Packers and then jumped to a Vikings fan in the front row, helping Minnesota build a 17-0 halftime lead.
On Sunday, November 15, 2026, the Minnesota Vikings defeated the Green Bay Packers 30-10 at Lambeau Field, with running back Aaron Jones scoring a touchdown and performing a "Lambeau Leap" in front of visiting fans.
Jones spent seven seasons with the Packers before joining Minnesota in 2024; he had expressed a desire to celebrate a score in his signature style as a visiting player.
Acquired last week from the Las Vegas Raiders, quarterback Kirk Cousins sparked the Vikings' offense by completing 21 of 31 pass attempts for 207 yards and two touchdowns.
Bolstered by kicker Will Reichard's field goals, the Vikings established a 17-0 halftime lead as defensive pressure kept Packers quarterback Jordan Love under constant control.
Following the victory, Minnesota improved to a 6-2 record, placing the Vikings third in the NFC North behind the 7-2 Detroit Lions and 7-2 Chicago Bears.
