![]() ![]() On fourth-and-2 from Minnesota's 27-yard line, Barkley burst through the middle of the line and took it all the way to the house, putting the Giants down by only two. Daniel Jones and Saquon Barkley methodically marched New York down the field, moving the Giants deep into Minnesota territory with a series of chunk gains. Minnesota quickly capitalized with a Kirk Cousins touchdown pass to Justin Jefferson, and it looked like the Vikings were going to walk away with a win. Jamie Gillan's punt was blocked by special teams ace Josh Metellus, allowing the Vikings to regain possession deep in Giants territory. New York had all of its timeouts left and so prepared to punt the ball, play some defense, and get possession back, but things didn't work out that way. They would even get a chance to take the lead late in the game with their four-minute offense, but they stalled and went three-and-out. The Giants would add a field goal midway through the fourth quarter, cutting Minnesota's lead to just 1 point. Naturally, because every Vikings game has to be as dramatic as possible, that was not even close to the end of things. Hockenson (his second of the game) put them back in the lead. The Vikes actually fell behind 13-10 at one point, but a timely touchdown by T.J. Minnesota jumped out to a 10-0 advantage early in their Week 16 battle, but struggled offensively for much of the rest of the afternoon. A week after pulling off the greatest comeback in NFL history, the Minnesota Vikings nearly blew a double-digit lead of their own before walking off with a dramatic 27-24 victory over the Giants on a Greg Joseph 61-yard field goal. ![]()
