LAST PLAY BY GREENWAY
Vikings linebacker Chad Greenway talked about the Vikings' final offensive play, when Teddy Bridgewater was sacked while trying to pass: "I love the aggressiveness at the end of the game. If you hand the ball off and play for the field goal, everybody's going to be [upset]. You try to be aggressive, throw the ball down field, that's the risk you take. They made a play. Congratulations to them. 8-5, we need to go 3-0. It's time for us to push. This is winning time, and we've got three more opportunities."
