MINNEAPOLIS -- One of the NFL's most reliable running backs has produced a sudden surge of turnovers, and it's hard to believe what happened next: Aaron Jones was benched Sunday after his second fumble of the first quarter.

Jones returned to the field primarily for passing plays and then was given two chances to catch a winning touchdown, and converted the second opportunity with 1 minute 13 seconds remaining, capping one of the strangest games of his career.

The former Green Bay Packers' 5-yard scoring reception capped a Minnesota Vikings comeback, and Parker Romo's extra point was the final difference in a 23-22 victory over the Arizona Cardinals.
