The Minnesota Vikings decided to gamble early in the fourth quarter against the New England Patriots on Sunday.
Trailing 24-10, Minnesota faced fourth-and-inches on their own 38 and went for it. The Patriots appeared to stuff a Latavius Murray run for no gain, but officials granted him a first down, citing forward progress.
