With 55 seconds remaining, on the first play of a potential game-tying or game-winning drive, the Seattle Seahawks‘ offense crumbled. Geno Smith hurled his pass toward D.K. Metcalf, and the Minnesota Vikings‘ Theo Jackson brought it in.
Smith's miscues, in tandem with Justin Jefferson‘s inevitable greatness and Andrew Van Ginkel‘s under-the-radar efforts, helped the Vikings keep pace with the Detroit Lions in the NFC North at 13-2. Minnesota claimed the 27-24 victory and, in turn, dealt a blow to Seattle's postseason hopes.
