Vikings return the kickoff to their 23
& go 3 & out. Punt.

Giants return the punt to Giants 24
yard line with 6:12 left in the game,
& after a 1st down, they go for it on
a 4th & a foot to go at their 45.5 yard
line, making it on a Daniel Jones QB
sneak, Vikings 1st timeout with 3:18
left in the game.
Barkley runs for no gain. Another Vik-
ings timeout. Jones sacked on 2nd
down for 5 yard loss. Vikings last
timeout with 3:07 left in the game.
3rd & 15, pass to Slayton dropped ...

.... for no reason - he probably would
have run after the catch enough for
a 1st down. Punt with 3:03 left in the
game.

Vikings start at their 12 with 2:56 left
in the game. 3rd & almost 9 at their
47, pass to Osborn shows how recei-
vers are often inexplicably drop prone,
sometimes the hero, sometimes the
goat as Osborn dropped the pass just
like the Giants' Slayton did.

4th & almost 9, short pass to Hocken-
son at the 50, way short of the 1st
down showing how QBs are inexplic-
ably prone to screw up on occasion
rather than being the hero.

Giants simply kneel down 3 times to
run out the clock & win 31-24, leaving
open the possibility the Cowboys will
meet the Giants in the NFC Champion-
ship game if the Cowboys beat the
Bucs & win their divisional game which ...

.... would be at the 49ers, & if the Giants
beat the Eagles & in their upcoming div-
isional game.
