It's the Vikings' turn to rally late in a 28-27 victory over Carolina

Kirk Cousins drove the Vikings down the field in the final two minutes, leading them to a 28-27 victory over the Carolina Panthers on Sunday at U.S. Bank Stadium.

Cousins hit Chad Beebe with 46 seconds left, shortly after Beebe had muffed a punt that seemed to doom the Vikings' comeback chances.

The Panthers had one last opportunity to win, but Joey Slye missed a 54-yard field with one second left.

The Vikings improved to 5-6, keeping their slim playoff hopes alive.

Coming into the game, the main story line was the return of quarterback Teddy Bridgewater to Minnesota.
