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.

Idk what it is with this team in the 4th qtr but they just ball out in those moments.

[@TKFOH]

It's so weird to see after the past few years too. Definitely enjoying it though.

[@user-bu1ir3us7v]

You enjoy that shit ? Damn they give me heart attack almost every single time

[@TKFOH]

@@user-bu1ir3us7v I enjoy them ending in a WIN

[@Mike-pd6np]

except in the playoffs. because this is minnesota, and we don't win big games here.

[@SirStazian]

@@Mike-pd6nplol unless our team is the lynx 😂

[@noirtesseract2104]

You have to love Paul Allen’s colorful commentating. He a Minnesota Vikings Treasure. The best in the bizness.

[@baloroh87]

Love how you matched the radio call by PA. Nice work

[@nanya524]

Yep, this proves that the overturned TD didn't matter in the end.

[@new2POOL208]

The punter lifting his leg 🦵 hahahaha good acting. I died haha

[@GodlessFiend]

Paul Allen is on another level, he deserves to be in the Hall of Fame as well for being the greatest radio host in MN history
SKOL BABY

[@stevejonesll1399]

Dude Paul Allen is the best at what he does, he makes games so exciting

[@alairaburtis-wollan382]

I love the vikings❤

[@shlottdog4163]

This is great keep it up

[@bridgetdrummond1721]

I watched this om prime time and watched the highlights. It'd always great hearing Paul Allen's version.

[@HoraceSteve]

The man has one of; if not THE most, electrifying voices in sports today.

[@Godless-Being]

I swear if P.A isn’t in the announcers HOF(if one such exists) by the end of his career then ima riot

[@Jay-mm1kw]

I'll never get over that hold on the kick return lmao

[@redt7452]

Cannot believe Mac Jones threw for 360 yards this game. Donatell sucked so hard

[@whoisjohngalt4880]

Thielen needs to keep going up field after the catch. 9 times out of 10 he immediately cuts sideways and takes 5 or 6 steps, sometimes even backwards. He is consistently one of the lowest WRs in the league for yards after the catch. Great route runner, great hands, terrible ball runner! Lol

[@redt7452]

Yeah I noticed that too. It’s pretty frustrating but there were a good amount of times when Thielen cut it sideways and got a big gain on it. Def a risk-reward type of play
