Kirk Cousins threw for 299 yards and three touchdowns to push the Minnesota Vikings past the New England Patriots 33\u002D26 on Thursday night.
Mac Jones passed for a career-high 382 yards and two scores to snap a lagging offence to life for the Patriots , but they ran out of steam down the stretch. Their fourth quarter included two three-and-out punts, a turnover on downs at the Minnesota 39 and a desperation last drive that went nowhere.
Jones – who went 23 for 27 last week for a career-high completion rate – appeared to hit his tight end for a second score with a twisting catch at the goal line that was ruled a touchdown on the field. The replay reversal – Henry’s bottom hand appeared to be under the ball as it bobbled briefly – forced the Patriots to settle for Nick Folk’s fourth field goal of the game late in the third quarter.
With standout left tackle Christian Darrisaw sidelined by a concussion, the Vikings gave backup Blake Brandel plenty of extra help and put Cousins in far more favourable situations with shorter drops and quicker throws. The Vikings had 231 yards in the first half, more than the Patriots allowed in the previous two games combined.
Jefferson set the NFL record for most receiving yards in a player’s first three seasons to pass Randy Moss. Jefferson has hit the 100-yard mark in 21 of 44 career games.Article contentThe first half was filled with examples of those extra edges the Patriots have long created for themselves under Belichick as one of the league’s most well-rounded teams.
