In a season in which the Vikings have made narrow victories their identity, they seemed on the verge of doing something very out of character Sunday at U.S. Bank Stadium.
Greg Joseph’s 44-yard field goal with 40 seconds remaining in the first half boosted Minnesota’s lead to 20-3 over the New York Jets, and even when Greg Zuerlein connected on a 60-yard field goal with 8 seconds left in the second quarter, the Vikings still carried a 14-point advantage into the locker room.
