Conservatism and a comedy of errors/terrors threatened to doom Minnesota against Jacksonville at US Bank Stadium, but in the end they were able to knock off the Jaguars with a walk-off field goal in overtime, 27-24. While wresting away the seventh playoff seed from struggling Arizona in the process, plenty of questions linger as to whether this team has what it takes to make noise in the playoffs. Special teams (two missed extra points, one missed field goal) and turnover (pick six, red zone fumble) gaffes aren’t going to get it done against less forgiving teams like New Orleans in January.
