Greg Joseph kicked a career-long 61-yard field goal as time expired, giving the Minnesota Vikings a 27-24 victory that prevented the New York Giants from clinching a playoff spot on Saturday.
Jefferson finished with 12 catches for 133 yards and a touchdown. He converted third downs four times in the second half.
“We made more mistakes than them. Majority of the time or not, you’re going to lose those games," said Barkley, who rushed 14 times for 84 yards. Late in the third quarter, Cor’Dale Flott bobbled his interception attempt at the Giants 40. After a replay reversal of the turnover call on the field, the Vikings resumed their drive and finished it in the end zone.
