DETROIT -- The Minnesota Vikings ended a lackluster first half in Detroit in astonishing fashion when Kirk Cousins heaved a 44-yard Hail Mary to tight end Kyle Rudolph to take a 14-9 halftime lead on Sunday.
Once Cousins received the snap with no time left on the clock, he scrambled to his right and launched a deep pass toward the back of the end zone. With Detroit defenders all around him, Rudolph, who was waiting in the end zone, used every bit of his 6-foot-6 frame to leap into the air and grab the ball, hauling in the touchdown.
