Greatest regular season game ever? Fans react as Kirk Cousins, Vikings outlast Bills in OT classic
Published:
Fans may have gotten their first taste for Super Bowl LVII with the Minnesota Vikings taking advantage of 2 late turnovers from quarterback Josh Allen to defeat the Buffalo Bills 33-30 in overtime.
Allen was a late addition to the Bills’ active roster, due to an elbow injury he suffered in the Week 9 20-17 road loss to the New York Jets. Allen completed 29-of-43 of his passes for 1 touchdown, 2 interceptions, and a passer rating of 78.6. He also rushed for 84 yards on 6 carries.
The Vikings’ defense accounted for 4 turnovers, 3 coming from Allen.
Former Michigan State Spartans quarterback Kirk Cousins completed 30-of-50 of his passes for 357 yards, 1 touchdown, 2 interceptions and a quarterback rating of 71.8. One of his passes to star wide receiver Justin Jefferson could easily go down as the catch of the year in the NFL.
This game had everything as many fans call this game the best regular season game in recent history.
Amazing game. Best regular season NFL game of the '20s so far

The best Vikings game I’ve watched since the Miracle. This team is legit. We stepped up, Kirk collected himself and stepped up. What a win. I love football. Wow.
