And I'll be publishing an in-game blog with all the top plays, highlights and moments from this early-season showdown. Follow him below.

On 2nd-and-10, a spin move by Jacobs sets up a short 3rd-and-2 for Love from the 23, but Love is flushed out of the pocket again and a high throw to the far sideline fails off Love's back foot. On the punt, Jalen Naylor decides to catch the punt inside the 10 and the ball goes out of his hands. Bo Melton recovers and runs into the end zone, but the ball cannot be advanced. Still, it's the 1st and goal for the Packers at the 3rd. Love throws to Doubs at the goal line, but the ball is juggled and ruled incomplete. LeFleur wants the play reviewed and is charged with unsportsmanlike conduct after an argument with the officials. On the next play, Love throws a beautiful touch pass to Reed for a 15-yard score, and the Packers are on the field with 15 seconds left in the half.

With two minutes left on 2nd-and-7, a short pass gained six yards, but an incomplete pass on 3rd-and-1 forced the Vikings' second punt with 1:17 left.

With 5:28 minutes left in the quarter, the Packers are trying to get something going before the end of the half. On 3rd-and-10, Love finds Tucker Kraft for 21 yards and a first down. After a false start penalty on 3rd-and-1 leads to 3rd-and-6, the Vikings are charged with illegal use of hands and a first down at the Minnesota 34. Love appeared to complete his next pass to Doubs for 17 yards, but the decision was reversed after Minnesota's challenge. On the next play, Love's pass to Wicks is ruled incomplete, despite a Packers challenge setting up a 3rd-and-10 pass. Under heavy pressure, Love throws deep to Wicks on the sideline, but the ball falls incomplete. On 4th down, Love throws to Bo Melton in the end zone, but the ball is batted away by Byron Murphy. The Vikings take over at their own 34 line. Love is 9-19 with two interceptions.

To say Jordan Love is off to a slow start after a two-week layoff would be an understatement. After a seven-yard completion to Doubs on 2nd down, Love's next pass is tipped and intercepted by Shaq Griffin and returned to the 4-yard line. Two plays later, Darnold threw his third TD pass of the day to Justin Jefferson and the Vikings were up 28-0, scoring on both Love interceptions. Taking advantage of a weak Packers secondary, Darnold is 10-13 for 130 yards

The Packers eventually force a three-and-out and get the ball back at their own 7-yard line. For the Vikings it is only the fifth three-pointer this season.

The Packers come out with a throw and Love hits Doubs for 20 yards. Three plays later, on 3rd-and-3, Love throws Jayden Reed incomplete. On Game 3 and 3 of the Vikings 43, the Vikings are cited for pass interference on a deep incompletion against Jayden Reed. sets up a first down on the Vikings' 23rd. However, the Packers fall behind as Love is sacked for an 8-yard loss on second down. Narveson misses a 49-yard field goal and a few boos can be heard from the crowd as the Packers had not scored with 8:04 left in the second quarter.

The Vikings use a shorter field from the Packers' 46 and score again. An eight-yard jet sweep to Addison gives the Viking a 21-0 lead. Darnold has 115 yards passing and the Vikings have 168 yards total offense on three drives.

Christian Watson is carted off the field after injuring his ankle on a pass intended for him that was intercepted.

Two more short throws from Love total just three yards, and on 3rd-and-7, Love throws an interception to the Vikings' linebacker. Kamu Grugier Hill. Receiver Christian Watson is twisted and his leg is injured during the play and the Vikings start from the Packers 46.

Aaron Jones carried the ball 17 yards on the first play of the Vikings' second drive and a 15-yard facemask penalty increased the gain by 15 yards. Devonte Wyatt was then flagged for offside in the second period, giving Minnesota a second and fourth goal. Jones gained three yards and on 3rd-and-1, Darnold scrambled 9 yards for a first down. After a delay of game, three short pass completions totaled 14 yards and set up another 3rd-and-1 at the Green Bay 14. Consecutive defensive holds on the Packers give the Vikings a 1st-and-goal at the 3-yard Line. Jones is stopped on first down, but Darnold hits tight end Josh Oliver in the end zone on the next play and the Vikings take a 14-0 lead. 1:37 minutes before the end of the quarter.

On his first drive back from injury, Jordan Love completed three passes, but the drive stalled at the Vikings 19 due to a penalty and an incompletion. Brayden Narveson hit the upright on a 37-yard field goal and the Vikings still led 7-0.

A 29-yard touchdown pass from Sam Darnold to Jordan Addison gave the Viking an early 7-0 lead.

Jordan Love is active today against the Minnesota Vikings.

The Green Bay Packers quarterback will officially miss just two games after suffering a knee injury that sidelined him late in the team's opener against the Philadelphia Eagles. It's a best-case scenario for the Packers, who initially assumed Love could be out for at least a month because of the torn medial ligament (MCL) in his left knee. The Packers have won their last two games without Love, but their franchise quarterback returns in time to face the NFC North's last undefeated team at home.

It's far from the ideal scenario for the Packers' defense. Cornerbacks Jaire Alexander (hamstring/groin) and Carrington Valentine (ankle) are inactive against the Vikings.
