Darnold's pivotal 39-yard touchdown pass to Jefferson was highlighted by head coach Kevin O'Connell as potentially the play of the season.

This season, the Vikings have excelled in close games, boasting an 8-1 record in one-possession contests, second only to the Kansas City Chiefs.

The victory against Seattle was secured in part by safety Theo Jackson, who clinched the win with an interception in the final minute of the game.

The Minnesota Vikings are enjoying a stellar season with a 13-2 record, positioning themselves to secure the top playoff seed in the NFC.

In their latest matchup, the Vikings showcased their resilience by defeating the Seattle Seahawks 27-24, with Justin Jefferson scoring the decisive touchdown.

Despite their strong performance and a third-best point differential of plus-120, skepticism remains about the Vikings' potential as Super Bowl contenders.

As they head into the final stretch of the regular season, the Vikings will face the Green Bay Packers and Detroit Lions, aiming to extend their winning streak to ten games.

Despite their impressive record, the Vikings are tied with the Detroit Lions at 13-2 but currently sit in second place in the NFC North due to a head-to-head loss earlier in the season.

The Vikings initially led the game against Seattle but fell behind 24-20 before a late-game drive by quarterback Sam Darnold secured the victory.

Darnold demonstrated strong leadership throughout the game, particularly when he navigated a challenging situation caused by a malfunctioning headset.

This marks only the second time in Vikings history that the team has started with 13 or more wins, previously achieving a 14-1 record in 1998.

Jefferson has drawn comparisons between the Vikings and his 2019 LSU national championship team, emphasizing their teamwork and resilience in overcoming adversity.
