MACKENSIE ALEXANDER

The Minnesota Vikings have signed five-time Pro Bowl safety Harrison Smith to a four-year contract extension.

Davante Adams was predictably the biggest beneficiary, with a career-high, franchise-record-tying 14 catches for 156 yards and two scores. Aaron Jones rushed for 66 yards and a touchdown for the Packers, who posted their highest score against the Vikings since a 44-31 victory at the Metrodome on Oct. 27, 2013. Jaire Alexander, who also recorded a safety on an untouched cornerback blitz in the second quarter, made the bobbling interception. When LG Lucas Patrick (shoulder) was forced out in the second quarter, Jenkins moved back to his original spot and free agent addition Rick Wagner entered at RT. ... DT Kenny Clark (groin) was hurt in the second quarter during Alexander's interception and didn't return.

The kickoff came only minutes after an on-side kick set up Jake Coker's 51-yard touchdown pass to O.J. Alabama recovered an onside kick, and Jake Coker proceeded to throw a 51-yard touchdown pass to O.J. Howard with 9:45 left in the fourth quarter to put the Crimson Tide ahead of Clemson 31-24 in the national championship game. The fourth quarter is starting with Clemson leading Alabama 24-21 in the national championship game. The retractable roof at University of Phoenix Stadium will remain closed for Monday night's national championship game between Alabama and Clemson.
