WATCH: Cam Akers scores first Vikings rushing TD of 2023 season

It took eight games, but the Minnesota Vikings finally have a rushing touchdown on the board, thanks to Cam Akers. Akers cut back against the Green Bay Packers defense and found paydirt to put the Vikings on the board early.

Sometimes, the broadcaster jinx can work for you if you’re a Vikings fan. Fox broadcasters Kenny Albert and Jonathan Vilma stated multiple times how the Vikings have the most passing touchdowns and have yet to score a touchdown on the ground.

Now, Cam Akers has the first rushing touchdown of the season and his first rushing touchdown as a Viking.

The Packers came into this game giving up the third-most rushing yards per game and Kevin O’Connell seems to want to exploit that. Not a bad way to get the run game going alongside the red-hot passing game.

Stay tuned for live game updates at Vikings Wire today and throughout the season.
