MINNEAPOLIS — It took a bit, but the Vikings showed Sunday just what having fans back at U.S. Bank Stadium can mean to the team.

Minnesota rallied from a 10-point deficit with a pair of touchdown drives in the second quarter, including one inside the 2-minute warning that followed a missed 44-yard field goal attempt by Jason Myers, for a 30-17 victory.

The win snapped a seven-game losing streak against the Seahawks and gave Minnesota (1-2) its first win over Seattle (1-2) since 2009.

The Vikings seized momentum as the defense found its footing after the miss by Myers, who had made 37 in a row and the offense mashed the gas with a torrid day of passing by Kirk Cousins, an incredible fill-in effort by Alexander Mattison and multiple big plays from the likes of Justin Jefferson, Adam Thielen and others.

Much as in previous years at U.S. Bank Stadium, Minnesota's defense was at its best on third downs, cooking up extra pressure against Russell Wilson, who had won his previous seven starts against the Vikings (including a playoff game).

The Vikings only sacked Wilson twice, but they made him uncomfortable and limited Seattle to 3-for-8 on third downs.

Seattle possessed the football for 14:17 of the game's first 19 minutes, but only 9:50 the rest of the way.

Cousins completed 30 of 38 passes for 323 yards for his 35th contest with 300-plus yards since 2015. He tossed three touchdowns, played turnover-free football and ended with a passer rating of 128.4.

Mattison led the ground game with 26 carries for 112 yards, tying his career high, which occurred in 2020 at Seattle. Mattison also burned the Seahawks on screens and finished with six catches for 59 yards.

Jefferson led Minnesota with nine catches for 118 yards in his first NFL home game attended by fans (66,729). He became the fastest Vikings player to 100 career receptions, hitting the mark in his 19th game. Tyler Conklin caught seven passes for 70 yards and his second career touchdown.

Thielen added six receptions for 50 yards and passed Jake Reed for sixth in franchise history on the all-time receptions list.

Minnesota converted nine of its 14 third downs and netted 453 yards of offense.
