Vikings Thanksgiving *FEAST* on Patriots! [Week 12 Highlights]

9-2 BABY! The Minnesota Vikings needed some luck to beat the New England Patriots for the first time in 22 years—including a few well-timed penalties by the Patriots' defense and special teams, and a overturned Hunter Henry touchdown... and 97-yard Kene Nwangwu kickoff return for a touchdown. BUT HOW 'BOUT KIRKO?! Kirk Cousins, notoriously dismal in prime time games, was HUGE for the Vikings on Thanksgiving night. Cousins was 30-37 for 299 yards and three touchdowns, and Justin Jefferson had 139 receiving yards and a TD. The offense delivered a clutch performance against a solid defense, and the Vikings bounced back from a 40-3 blowout loss four days prior. Bill Belichick's squad looked mortal again, despite a rare explosive offensive game—Mac Jones passed for a career-high 382 yards and two scores, but they ran out of steam down the stretch, and had to settle for four Nick Folk field goals during the game. And despite soon-to-be-All-Pro left tackle Christian Darrisaw out with a concussion, the Vikings pass protection stood up against Matthew Judon and the Patriots' front seven, surrendering only one sack after allowing seven the previous game. "Kevin has empowered me so much. This team has empowered me so much," said Cousins. "At times, it almost brings me to tears the way these guys support me." Don't cry, Kirko. Just keep dropping dimes. #nfl #minnesotavikings #newenglandpatriots
