Greg Joseph: After all the hand-wringing about his accuracy on extra points, the Vikings kicker made all five of his kicks, including his first 50-yard field goal of the season.

1: Number of TDs the Jets scored in six trips to the red zone (17%). Vikings opponents are 1-for-9 scoring red-zone TDs the past two weeks.
