The Minnesota Vikings nearly lost the game on Sunday afternoon to the Jacksonville Jaguars but found a way to pull it out by a score of 12-7.
It brought a lot of different emotions for Vikings fans watching it. They were really good at moving the football on offense but couldn't punch the ball into the end zone. Luckily for the Vikings, that didn't matter as they held the Jaguars to 142 yards and just seven points.
Vikings accomplish NFL first since 2006
The Vikings getting the win today was unprecedented since the 2006 season. They were the first team since that year to win a game where they had zero touchdowns and three or more turnovers.
It shouldn't come as a surprise that a performance like that hasn't resulted in a win over the last 18 years. It's incredibly hard to overcome that kind of struggling performance. The Vikings have just the team to pull that off.
Their defense is the best in the National Football League and proved it once again on Sunday. They forced three turnovers late and held the Jaguars to a -0.32 EPA/play, which is on par with how well they've played all season.
At the end of the day, this will likely be the worst the Vikings play in a win, especially since they had an even EPA/play while having three interceptions.
