Minnesota Vikings 27, Seattle Seahawks 24: Minnesota Hangs On For Eighth Straight Victory

Another Sunday, another afternoon of far too much excitement for fans of the Minnesota Vikings.

Sam Darnold found Justin Jefferson for the go-ahead, 39-yard touchdown with just under four minutes to play, and the Vikings’ defense did just enough to engineer a 27-24 victory for the Vikings over the Seattle Seahawks in Week 16 NFL action.

The Vikings drew first blood in this one, as they put together a 12-play drive that spanned nearly seven minutes on the game’s first possession. The final play saw Sam Darnold connect with Jordan Addison for a 5-yard touchdown to make it 7-0 early on.
