Squaring off against a strong Minnesota Vikings team, the 1986-87 Giants were at a bit of a crossroads, sitting at 8-2, but down by one to the 6-4 Vikings.
With just over a minute to go, the Giants faced a dire 4th and 17, and their three-game winning streak was in jeopardy. A Phil Simms lob, however, landed in the hands of Bobby Johnson who kept both feet in bounds for to get the Giants in Minnesota territory. The conversion set the tone for the game’s final minute, as the Giants eventually inserted Raul Allegre in for a 33-yard field goal, completing a 22-20 victory.
