Greg Joseph kicked the longest field goal of his career, a 61-yarder, as time expired Saturday to give the Minnesota Vikings a 27-24 victory over the New York Giants.

Joseph’s kick was 5 yards longer than his previous mark and set a team record.
The one-score victory was the 11th against no losses in 2022 for the Vikings, an NFL record for that oddity category.
The play that set up the game-winning field goal was a pass from Kirk Cousins to Justin Jefferson that gave the fabulous wide receiver another team record for Minnesota.
