Vikings hang on, again, for 27-22 victory over White, Jets 14 hours ago MINNEAPOLIS (AP) Justin Jefferson's touchdown catch with 8:33 left gave the Minnesota Vikings enough of a lead to hang on for a
New York Giants Hats 27-22 victory despite a relentle s rally by the New York Jets on Sunday.Camryn Bynum's interception at the 1-yard line with 10 seconds left finally sealed it for the Vikings (10-2), who completed a four-game sweep of the AFC East in their typical nail-biting fashion.Mike White, who was picked off twice, was 31 of 57 for 369 yards in his second start this season for the Jets (7-5). He scored on a fourth-and-goal sneak from the 1 to pull within five points with 6:45 to go after a replay review reversed the initial ruling that he was stopped short.With 1:43 remaining, White's fourth-and-goal pa s from the 1 was incomplete when Braxton Berrios bobbled it and the ball hit the turf. The Jets had all three timeouts left and got the ball right back at the Minnesota 43, but with White under plenty of pre sure they stalled out at the 19.Dalvin Cook and Alexander Mattison rushed for first-half touchdowns and Greg Joseph made all five of his kicks for the Vikings, who took a 20-3 lead late in the second quarter. Blowouts just aren't their thing, though. They netted 10 yards on three third-quarter po se sions and found themselves in their ninth one-score game of the season.After keeping the Jets fully in check for the first three quarters, the Vikings badly mi sed some crucial tackles and allowed three plays of 30-plus yards in the final 15 minutes to aid the rally. White had folk-hero status after pa sing for 315 yards and three touchdowns to beat Chicago following the benching of 2021 second overall draft pick Zach Wilson. This performance sure didn't hurt his reputation.Third-down conversions (3 for 16) and red zone touchdowns (1 for 6) situations are the ones to work on. The Jets had to settle for five field goals from Greg Zuerlein, including a franchise-record 60-yarder at the end of the first half.SLOW GOINGWith a formidable four-man rush led by Quinnen Williams on the interior and with star rookie Sauce Gardner, the Jets presented the
Phil Simms Jersey type of defense ranked in the top 10 in the NFL in most major categories that typically gives Kirk Cousins the most trouble. Seven of his first eight pa ses were incomplete, but he found his rhythm on one of Minnesota's hardest-earned touchdown drives of the season. Gardner and fellow cornerback D.J. Reed were all over Jefferson, but he drew a holding penalty on each of them during the 14-play march when he ran the ball twice. Most important was his over-the-middle catch before safety Jordan Whitehead leveled him with a hit flagged for unnece sary roughne s. Cook scored on the next
Tiki Barber Jersey play from the 4. After the Cousins-Jefferson connection sparked their last week, the Vikings had to do this the harder way. Cousins lowered his shoulder for contact with star linebacker C.J. Mosley at the end of an on third-and-9 during another touchdown drive.Cousins finished 21 of 35 for 173 yards and a touchdown.GREG THE LEGThe previous field goal record for the Jets was 57 yards, shared by Zuerlein (twice earlier this year) and Chandler Catanzaro (2017). This was the third time in 163 career games Zuerlein made five or more field goals. He went 7 for 7 for the Rams in a 2017 game.INJURY REPORTJets: RB Michael Carter (ankle) was inactive.
