Place kicker Greg Joseph made Minnesota Vikings history on Saturday. Joseph's game-winning 61-yard field goal is the longest made field goal in Vikings' franchise history, per Vikings Communications on Twitter.

The kick sent the crowd into a frenzy as Minnesota defeated the New York Giants 27-24. It was far from a convincing victory, but the Vikings got the job done once again.

Minnesota has walked a tight rope as of late. They trailed by 33 points last week against the Indianapolis Colts before pulling off a jaw-dropping comeback. The Vikings would certainly prefer to win in less-stressful fashion moving forward. With that being said, they are 12-3 on the season and are well on their way to a postseason run. And Greg Joseph will continue to play a pivotal role moving forward.

Additionally, QB Kirk Cousins has been reliable this year.

Cousins performed well in the Vikings' victory over the Giants. Minnesota's QB threw for 299 passing yards and 3 touchdowns. He ultimately went 34-48 through the air en route to a 107.9 QB rating. His performance kept the Vikings in the game and led to Greg Joseph's historic game-winner.

Cousins first touchdown of the game gave him 25 on the season, reaching the 25 touchdown mark for the 8th consecutive year. He has endured his share of ups and downs in 2022, but Kirk Cousins is someone that Minnesota firmly believes in.

If nothing else, this is an exciting Vikings team. The path to the Super Bowl is destined to be a difficult one. But their ability to come through in the clutch will give them a chance.
