Rodgers broke on a tipped pass from Harrison Smith and raced 87 yards for a pick-six. Later, with Minnesota up 17-3, he punched the ball out from Noah Fant, recovered it himself, and ran 66 yards for his second score of the day. Just before halftime, he stripped Ja’Marr Chase on a blindside angle to give the Vikings yet another turnover.
