NFL scores: Vikings top Packers, Dolphins beat Browns as both clubs keep their playoff dreams alive

The Packers were THIS close to getting a stop. Green Bay will fall to 0-5 against the top three teams in the NFC while being 11-0 against the rest of the NFL.

Green Bay is somehow still in this game, and with 2:18 left, the Packers are down 27-25. Minnesota has 417 yards of offense, but will need to hold on and get a couple of first downs to close the deal, after being up 27-10 with seven minutes left on the clock.

A penalty dropped Minnesota back, deep in its own end, resulting in Green Bay starting the drive near their own 40 yard yard line, down by nine with just under 5 minutes to go.

It's 27-18 after a quality Green Bay drive that ends in a Wilson TD run. It was the Packers' best drive of the day. With just over six minutes left in the game — and two timeouts — Green Bay is still in it.

Jordan Love swarmed under for a 3rd down sack with under 14 minutes to go in the game. The Minnesota D has been every bit as god as the offense, holding the Packers to just 137 total yards to this point in the game.

The interception to Carrington Valentine aside, Darnold has been in complete control of the game. 29-of-36 for 312 yards and three touchdowns after this catch and run by Cam Akers. It's 27-10 and looks like Minnesota is on a crash course with Detroit for a massive, winner-take-all showdown for the NFC North and No. 1 seed in Week 18.

Make it seven-straight games with a touchdown for Josh Jacobs after this two-yard TD run, and it's 20-10 with five minutes left in the third quarter. The Packers are back in it.

Carrington Valentine comes up huge for the Packers, who have one of their best scoring chances of the day after that pick, starting deep in Minnesota territory.

The Vikings are cooking. It's 20-3 — and 20 straight points for Minnesota — after Addison's 9th touchdown catch of the season. Minnesota is in control in the third quarter, now up three scores.

This 13-yard run was the first touchdown of the game and put Miami up by 10 early in the third quarter. He's got 20 rushing yards in the game after this one, and has been very efficient through the air — 17-of-20 for 189 yards.

After Green Bay took an "ice the kicker" timeout, Reichard missed from 55 yards with zeros on the clock. One problem Green Bay was flagged for offsides. Reichard then knocked through a 50-yard attempt, through a chorus of whistles, as Matt LaFleur called a second timeout — something he was able to do because of the penalty — before the Vikings kicker finally made the 50-yard kick that went into the books and ended the half with a 13-3 lead.

Minnesota got into a goal-to-go situation, but was unable to come up with a TD, and Will Reichard knocked through his second field goal of the game to give the Vikings a one touchdown advantage.

A low-scoring game in Cleveland is at the half with Miami holding on to a 6-3 lead. Snoop Huntley has been efficient for Miami, in place of Tua Tagovailoa, going 13-for-16 for 143 yards in the first half. Tyreek Hill had five catches for 69 yards. Miami needs a win to stay alive in the AFC wild card chase.

The Vikings followed this up with a big run by Cam Akers to get it to a first and goal.

Matt LaFleur chooses to go for it and comes up short on a 4th and 2, rather than going for another Brandon McManus field goal attempt. Score remains 7-3, Vikings, midway through the second quarter.

When Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison get the bulk of the attention, it's time for a No. 3 receiver to step up. Nailor has been filling that role all season, and now he's got six touchdown catches on the season after this rainbow from Darnold to give Minnesota a 7-3 lead.

After the Reichard miss, Green Bay marched it down into the red zone, but had to settle for a Brandon McManus field goal, late in the first quarter.

Points look like they might be hard to come by in Cleveland, with the Browns finally getting some points to make it 3-3 on a 25-yard field goal with just under 11 minutes to play in the first half.

The Vikings' kicker hits the crossbar from 57 yards and the game remains scoreless as the two defenses are in control in the first quarter.

Minnesota's defense has forced a fumble and a quick punt on the first two Green Bay series and has looked great for their first two trips.

Green Bay was able to get a confidence inspiring stop after a sudden change situation that could have gone south. Minnesota got out to a 28-0 lead in Green Bay the first time these two teams met, back in Week 4, on its way to a 31-29 win.

Sanders got JUST enough of this one to bounce it off the crossbar and in.

Sound up on this one:

Snoop Huntley has been sharp early on, hitting six of his first seven throws for 63 yards

Vikings' defensive end Jerry Tillery knocked it out, and Minnesota is in business early after recovering the ball. The Vikings will start with good field positioning after their 31st takeaway off the season, which ranks second in the NFL this season.

Green Bay won the toss and will start with the ball. They're still fighting for wild card position in the NFC, and will need to win on the road in the playoffs if they're going to make a run to the Super Bowl in New Orleans, and with Minnesota still in the hunt for the No. 1 seed, this will be a litmus test for the Packers, in a huge road game, late in the season.

A couple of backup quarterbacks are running the show in Cleveland with Snoop Huntley starting for Miami — which is trying to keep some slim playoff hopes alive — against Dorian Thompson-Robinson for Cleveland.
