Kirk Cousins and T.J. Hockenson worked together on a big fourth down play to keep the Minnesota Vikings drive alive late in the third quarter. Minnesota and the New York Giants are battling here on Wild Card weekend.
Minnesota found themselves on fourth down with two yards to go needing a big play. Hockenson delivered that play to his team. Hockenson was left open towards the sideline and caught a nice pass from Cousins to convert.
