A last-minute interception sealed the Minnesota Vikings‘ 27-22 victory over  New York Jets in Week 13.

Offensive spotlight: Jets QB Mike White threw for 369 yards, but his second interception ended up costing the Jets any chance of taking the lead with little time left. He averaged 6.5 yards per attempt on the day.

Defensive spotlight: Harrison Smith came up with several key plays for Minnesota’s defense in the game. He caught a ball that popped into the air for the first interception but also had a pass breakup and was a big part of a Vikings goal-line stand in the fourth quarter.

Rookie spotlight: Sauce Gardner vs. Justin Jefferson was the headline billing of this game, but Jefferson spent much of his time against other players.

Garrett Wilson caught eight of his 15 targets for 162 yards, again dominating with a viable quarterback.

Offensive line spotlight: The Jets offensive line wasn’t affected by Minnesota’s pass-rushers outside of a couple of plays. Mike White was under pressure on just 8.5% of his dropbacks.
