87-Yard TD Pass Propels Vikings To OT Win Over Jets

The Minnesota Vikings (6-7) escaped TCF Bank Stadium with a 30-24 win over the visiting New York Jets (2-11) courtesy of an 87-yard overtime touchdown pass from Teddy Bridgewater to Jarius Wright. The Vikings are still mathematically alive for a spot in the NFL playoffs. #HardToBelieve

The Vikings scored on the first play of the game when Minnesota linebacker Gerald Hodges picked off a Geno Smith pass and ran it in for a touchdown. The game was a back and forth affair, with the Vikes coming out on top in the end.

Minnesota QB Teddy Bridgewater was 19 for 27 with a pair of touchdowns and an interception. Matt Asiata was the Vikings leading rusher carrying the ball 19 times for 54 yards. Jarius Wright had four catches for 123 yards and one touchdown.

Next Sunday the Vikings will face their NFC North division rival Lions in Detroit.
