NFL Scores Week 17: Minnesota Vikings Win NFC North as Last Second Field Goal Beats NY Giants

Adrian Peterson rushed for 103 yards and a touchdown, Bernard Berrian had 81 yards receiving and a TD and Ryan Longwell hit a 50-yard field goal with five seconds left on the clock to give the Minnesota Vikings (10-6) a 20-19 victory over the New York Giants (12-4) and lock up the NFC North and punch their playoff ticket.

After a scoreless first quarter the Vikings built a 10-0 lead in the second frame as Longwell hit a 48-yard field goal and Peterson added a 67-yard touchdown run but the Giants climbed back into the game with three field goals from John Carney to close to within 10-9 at the half.

Domenik Hixon gave the Giants their first lead of the game when he caught a 23-yard touchdown pass from David Carr early in the third quarter and Carney added his fourth field goal early in the fourth to give New York a 19-10 advantage.

Tarvaris Jackson brought the Vikings back with a 54-yard touchdown strike to Berrian with 9:35 left on the clock and then Longwell wrapped up the division title for the Vikings with his 50-yard field goal with five ticks left on the clock.

The win gives the Vikings a home game next week where they will face the winner of the Dallas Cowboys and Philadelphia Eagles game.
