FINAL MINUTE AGONY STRIKES AGAIN
The Vikings' loss to the Cowboys on Sunday marked the third time this season they've lost on a game-winning touchdown with less than a minute left. The Bears and Browns also defeated the Vikings in consecutive weeks (Week 2 and 3) in that situation. Bears QB Jay Cutler found TE Martellus Bennett from 16 yards with 10 seconds left to win 31-30, and Browns QB Brian Hoyer threw 7-yard pass to TE Jordan Cameron with 51 seconds left to stun the Vikings 31-27. As well, the Vikings dodged a bullet in Week 4 in London when they held off Pittsburgh in a 34-27 victory by stopping the Steelers at the 6-yard-line.
