Watch: Vikings win on 61-yard field goal from Greg Joseph

By Adam Gretz | Last updated Dec 24, 2022 4:37 PM ET

Say this for the Minnesota Vikings: Their games are not boring.

They were 27-24 winners over the New York Giants on Saturday when Greg Joseph crushed a 61-yard field goal to give them their 12th win of the season.

They won 11 of those games by a single score.

Here is a look at how Saturday's game ended.

61 YARDS FOR THE GAME WINNER‼️

Greg Joseph kicks a career-long as the Vikings walk it off for the second week in a row.

Minnesota is 12-3.

That field goal game after the Vikings allowed the Giants to march down the field for a game-tying touchdown and two-point conversion with less than two minutes to play.

But this Vikings team seems to be built a little different than previous Vikings teams, and games that would have been baffling losses now seem to be turning into close wins.

This is the second-week in a row they had a wild ending after overcoming a 33-point second half deficit to the Indianapolis Colts. That was the largest comeback in NFL history.
