Minnesota Vikings 19, Washington Redskins 9: Cousins gets the last word

It might not have been the sort of final score that many of us. . .including myself. . .were anticipating, but in the National Football League, a win is a win.

Behind some pretty solid defense and four Dan Bailey field goals, the Minnesota Vikings knocked off the Washington Redskins on Thursday Night Football by a final score of 19-9.

After both teams fumbled on their opening possessions. . .Stefon Diggs for the Vikings and Case Keenum for the Redskins. . .the Vikings got the game’s first points, as Dan Bailey connected on a 50-yard field goal to give the purple a 3-0 lead.
