A lost opportunity to get off the field to open the game, a dropped touchdown on the first play of scrimmage and a fourth-down failure from the 1-yard line highlighted some of the missed chances that doomed the Green Bay Packers in a sloppy and disappointing season-opening loss to the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday.
As is the case in most games in the NFL, a few plays made all the difference. On Sunday at U.S. Bank Stadium, three plays directly affected the final outcome of the contest.
