MINNEAPOLIS — Chad Beebe caught a 10-yard touchdown pass with 46 seconds left for the Minnesota Vikings, shortly after he muffed a punt that let the Carolina Panthers pad their lead. And the Panthers’ Joey Slye missed a 54-yard field-goal try with 1 second remaining that preserved a 28-27 victory for the Vikings on Sunday.
Kirk Cousins went 34 of 45 for 307 yards and three scores for the Vikings (5-6), hitting Justin Jefferson for his second touchdown grab with 5:38 to go and finding Beebe for the winner to punctuate a seven-play, 75-yard drive that took 65 seconds.
