MINNEAPOLIS — When Joe Schobert reached the end zone after his 43-yard interception return on the first play of the second half, the Jacksonville Jaguars had their biggest lead of the season at 10 points.
Leading 16-6, the Jaguars were poised to put a big dent in Minnesota’s playoff bid. Then Kirk Cousins led the Vikings on a 75-yard touchdown drive to close the gap.
The Vikings scored 18 consecutive points, including a safety when Mike Glennon was sacked early in the fourth quarter. Although Jacksonville (1-11) came back to force overtime, it fell 27-24. Another attempt to end a losing streak now at 11 games failed.
