Vikings hold off Redskins
Print Edition
The Minnesota Vikings fought back from a 13-point deficit and the loss of their starting quarterback to earn just their second win of the year, prevailing 34-27 over the Washington Redskins on Thursday.
Washington (3-6) almost scored a touchdown with 30 seconds left as Santana Moss caught a pass from Robert Griffin III but he was only able to ground one foot in the end zone.
Vikings running back Adrian Peterson rushed for 75 yards and two touchdowns and Christian Ponder threw for two more scores before with a shoulder injury to help the home side overcome a 14-27 third-quarter deficit. Ponder, who was 17 of 21 for 174 yards passing, was running for the end zone when hit hard at the one-yard line as his side trailed 21-27.
Back-up quarterback Matt Cassel came on and oversaw Peterson’s second touchdown on the next play to take the lead, before calmly moving the Vikings into field goal range as the clock wound down to set up the seven-point advantage.
The hosts’ defense then held firm in the final minutes, including four goal line plays, to improve to 2-7, their first win on US soil after beating Pittsburgh in London earlier in the year.
