Not to be outdone by Brandon Staley’s aggressiveness to end the half, Kevin O’Connell was faced with a fourth-and-five for Minnesota on a drive that was up-and-down for Kirk Cousins and the Vikings offense.
Cousins found Osborn on a deep crosser as he beat Davis to the inside and made an incredible leap from five yards out to solidify the touchdown pass after breaking off a would-be tackle from Asante Samuel, Jr.
The touchdown grab makes this a 21-17 game and gives new life to a Minnesota offense that was looking for a spark as they look to fight back in this physical game.
