Vikings edge Bills in OT
Patrick Peterson intercepted Josh Allen with 1:12 left in overtime to finally end a sloppy, yet thrilling backand-forth game between two of the NFL’s best teams, and the Vikings completed their rally from a 17-point second-half deficit to beat the Bills 33-30 on Sunday in Orchard Park, New York.
The Vikings took advantage of three turnovers by Allen in the fourth quarter and OT, pulling ahead late in regulation when he mishandled a snap and fumbled in the end zone.
Greg Joseph put the Vikings ahead to stay by hitting a 33-yard field goal with 3:42 left in OT. The game didn’t end until Allen, facing second and 10 at the Vikings 20, forced a pass over the middle intended for Gabe Davis, only to have Peterson intercept it a few yards into the end zone, his second pick of the day.
Kirk Cousins threw for 357 yards, and Justin Jefferson had a monster game with 10 catches for 193 yards for the NFC North-leading Vikings (8-1).
