Minnesota Vikings 28, Carolina Panthers 27: Vikings overcome second half miscues to win thriller

The Minnesota Vikings started the second half of their game against the Carolina Panthers by giving up defensive touchdowns on back-to-back plays and seeing a three-point lead evaporate into an 11-point deficit.

The ending of the second half was much better than the beginning.

Thanks to an incredible comeback drive from Kirk Cousins and company, the Vikings overcame three second-half turnovers and got an improbable 28-27 victory over the Carolina Panthers in Week 12 NFL action.

The Vikings got on the board first in this one, as they pushed their first drive for nearly eight minutes, concluding the possession with a 12-yard touchdown pass from Kirk Cousins to rookie Justin Jefferson.
