The NFL record streak without allowing a pass touchdown, since the 1970 merger, is seven games. The Vikings can tie that record on Thursday against the Lions, but they'll have to snap Jared Goff's 21-game streak with a touchdown pass in order to do so.

Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson set the NFL record for most receptions by a player through six seasons against the Giants.

Undrafted rookie Max Brosmer, who threw four interceptions in his only career start, played the entire second half for the injured J.J. McCarthy. He led the game-winning 14-play, 57-yard drive. He passed for 52 yards — 19 more than Dart.

A broken team plane. A slew of starters, including QB J.J. McCarthy, felled by injuries. And a three-game win streak for team that continues to fight.

After their flight had to turn around for mechanical issues, the Minnesota Vikings finally arrived in New Jersey late Saturday for their Sunday afternoon game against the New York Giants.

If that was the last play of McCarthy's season, the strip sack marked a fitting coda to a debut campaign that's been marred by poor play and injuries.

J.J. McCarthy ran for a touchdown before leaving with an injury to his throwing hand, but backup Max Brosmer helped the Vikings top the Giants 16-13 on Sunday.

A pair of NFC teams that have been eliminated from the postseason square off Sunday when the Minnesota Vikings visit the New York Giants in NFL Week 16. Minnesota (6-8) has won consecutive games but fell from playoff contention despite a 34-26 victory against the Cowboys last week.

The Vikings were headed to New Jersey but had to turn around when their plane experienced mechanical issues that required a return to the Minneapolis-St. Paul airport.
