GREG JOSEPH

Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers destroyed the Minnesota Vikings at Lambeau Field on Sunday, as they kept their playoff hopes alive. All they need is a Week 18 win.

When you’re handing out fantasy football game balls for Week 16, don’t forget one for U.S. Bank Stadium. Kirk Cousins didn't involve the others much, but he still finished with 299 yards passing and three scores. The Giants also moved the ball on the ground, mainly through Saquon Barkley (133 total yards, touchdown) and the enterprising Jones (34 rushing yards). The air conditioning doesn’t throw off anyone’s passing game. He finished with 355 yards passing and three scores, while the Lions managed just 45 rushing yards.

MINNEAPOLIS — (AP) — Greg Joseph kicked a career-long 61-yard field goal as time expired, giving the Minnesota Vikings a 27-24 victory that prevented the New York Giants from clinching a playoff spot on Saturday. After replay review overturned the turnover call on the field, the Vikings resumed their drive and finished it in the end zone. Rarely have these Vikings played a drama-free fourth quarter, though. Naturally, they wound up with another nail-baiting win, setting the NFL record with their 11th one-score victory of the season. After their NFL-record comeback from a 33-point deficit to beat Indianapolis, the Vikings didn't electrify the stadium like last week.

The Vikings took this rally all the way to their second possession of OT, after punting on their first one. The last time Minnesota beat Indianapolis was in 1997, the final game the Colts played before they drafted Peyton Manning. Dallis Flowers returned the opening kickoff 49 yards, and the Colts were in scoring position within seconds.

The Vikings squandered two good opportunities deep in Saints territory late in the second quarter.

Greg Joseph kicked a 47-yard field goal with 24 seconds left and the Minnesota Vikings hung on for a 28-25 win over New Orleans at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium when the Saints’ Wil Lutz’s 61-yard tying attempt hit the left upright and then the crossbar as time expired.

They posted the highest score against the Packers since their 38-3 loss to New Orleans in the season opener. Preston Smith had two sacks, but the Packers didn't have the same pass rush with outside linebacker Rashan Gary (elbow) sidelined. Ham on third-and-1 at their 29 was stopped for no gain late in the second quarter. He missed some time while getting treatment on the sideline late in the second quarter but returned after halftime.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. The Tennessee Titans made a switch at kicker Thursday, agreeing to terms with four-time Pro Bowler Stephen Gostkowski and waiving Greg Joseph. His field goal percentage ranks fifth-best in NFL history. Joseph was the Titans' fifth kicker last season in the NFL's worst field goal unit at 44.4% (8 of 18). He made the only field goal he tried in the playoffs and made all his extra points. He missed a career-high four extra points last season after not missing more than three in any of his previous 13 NFL seasons.
