I'm still convinced that Hunter Henry caught the ball and that it was a TD. There was an angle that showed his hand under it clear as day. I just want some consistent officiating tbh. Regardless, the Vikings played well and it was nice to see my Patriots offense showing up when it matters! This was our most complete offensive game all season, so things are looking up.
It was not a catch.. the rule states you have to control it while hitting the ground, if it bobbles it’s incomplete.. and more so, it was overturned which means the evidence was clear
Justin Jefferson is so special man, still makes my jaw drop every week, like yeah I know he’s an elite receiver but some of these catches he makes are so crazy, and he’s so tough too! Also as a Vikings fan I was really happy to see Thielen get more involved and I hope we continue to get him more involved. For the people who say “Kirk can’t play in prime time” besides for that one pick, Kirk played his heart out tonight, along with Jefferson and Thielen! 💜💛
I’m thankful for this game. It’s refreshing as a Broncos fan to see just how functional offenses work. Vikings & Jefferson are on fire! Happy Thanksgiving!
As a pats fan I’m not even mad about the TD reversal, MIN played awesome and def deserved that win. I’m more annoyed about the inconsistency in officiating weekly that has been hurting EVERY team. Wish they’d start fining refs or hold them more accountable.
@Arby Jack I’m sure 28-3 wasn’t a clean win too huh. Delusional. I’m sure the deflated football when the Colts lost 45-7 in an AFC championship game when 4 of their balls were deflated was cheating too huh. Delusional. Cry
Patriot fans we had a lot going against us this game but the team delivered, as it always does primetime, a tough performance. Vikings are good. We fight on.
@knowsmebyname You cant be a front runner when you're coming from behind every game, they are literally the opposite on both sides of the ball. The Eagles on the other hand..
@Edgar Allan's Hoe you know absolutely nothing about football. You're the type of beta boi to watch the SB for the commercials. Sorry, lady Gaga isn't playing this year. Beta
@Adriana Brienza if we’re talking Bill, then no he’s literally the head coach and is basically the general manager at the same time, he definitely has a say in the offense, but I think he has his son coach the cornerbacks I think

U guys have been up for a long time I think it’s ok to have a bad season or two. U guys gotta great coach mike tomlin is a legend. The fact that Steelers aren’t tanking and got few wins with the personnel u guys are working with is astonishing.
12:40 PatP all but sealed the game w/ this play. Maybe 2 to 3 CBs in the league strong enough and savy enough to make that play. Gilmore, Xavian Howard, and prob Carlton Davis off the top of my head. Most corners wouldn’t have the strength to keep a bigger WR in bounds like that.
Was very heartbroken after this loss. I’m a patriots fan and was so proud of my boys. Especially my QB1 Mac Jones. That’s my future and he is making me so happy. Lets Go Patriots
These Thanksgiving games didn't disappoint. Awesome stuff! This year has to be one of the best in the NFL history for close, tough and hard fought games. Keep it up NFL!
@jehanne Looking back, isn't it amazing the Vikings scored so many points with Joe Kapp, Dave Osborn and Bill Brown! Tough guys but not gazelles. I remember Gene Washington was incredible, but got shut down in the Super Bowl.

@Science and God - Bill Morgan the first one with Joe Kapp qB, 1969. 12-2 vikings scored the most points in the league easily with 379, and gave up the least points in history with a 14 game schedule, 133. Played so lost in S.Bowl to K.C, why? I feel for your Bills, too. Love this team now, hope you get to the SBowl this year.
Thank you Vikings for knocking the Patriots back down a notch in standings. As a Dolphin fan it helps my team stay ahead of them in playoff race and division race.
what we've learnt from this vid... 1. these refs didn't know what PI is 2. if the punter kicks the defender in the head that is roughing the punter 3. the skycam is horrible 4. now we not just don't know what the Eagles seen in reagor v Jefferson, but now we don't know what the Vikes seen that guy to ttraded for him 5. not all teams have the home field advantage but the Vikes have it
People are being a little rough on Mac. Kirk Cousins wasn’t exactly tearing it up when he was where Mac is now timeline wise but his team stuck with him and now look.
@Pookahlakatribe they're actually getting better as an overall unit. It won't be long before we see the Patriots start becoming a premiere team again. Just need more pieces. Maybe a veteran free agent signing on defense and revamping the online maybe. Wouldn't hurt to try out more receivers
@malachi rhodes So what about The Vike's defense? They gave up 409 total yards. Mac threw for 382 yards with 2 tds, should have been 3 had the refs not screwed it up. The ground game was about even, time of possession tipped in Minnesota's favor with about 13 more minutes. Clearly, you don't know what you're talking about. If you're happy that your team won, then great. However, you better recognize that the Vike's defense was worse, against a 2nd year QB. Get your facts straight genius. Your stupidity is like a neon sign flashing across your forehead.
Congrats to the Vikings made some great plays, but watching it live the Patriots had this that wiped TD & running into the kicker penalty killed us , I hope it doesn’t turn out to be too costly a loss.
@Tyler Casanova I can't relate. Its hard for me to finish in my pants over a regular season game after experience the greatest dynasty run in NFL history. If this was your Superbowl though, congrats. I wish I could show up to hand you guys the imaginary lombardi.
Justin Jefferson is so special man, still makes my jaw drop every week, like yeah I know hes an elite receiver but some of these catches he makes are so crazy, and hes so tough too! Also as a Vikings fan I was really happy to see Thielen get more involved and I hope we continue to get him more involved. For the people who say Kirk cant play in prime time besides for that one pick, Kirk played his heart out tonight, along with Jefferson and Thielen!
It was a good game… Jefferson is awesome. Thing that bothers me is that the refs really sucked. Calls heavily in favor of the home team. Announcers are like “Happy Thanksgiving Patriots,” when we watch Dugger gets held for the kick return TD… And Henrey’s TD get overturned on a BS call. The Patriots have to be better, but man, some people in NFL corners getting $$$ of this ref job.
Wow, that felt like a highlight reel of failures by the refs. Sorry to both teams for the refs ruining that game. It's got to be hard taking that win knowing the refs made it a very questionable win, at best. Patriots just trying to get back to forming a cohesive unit and everytime they make progress, the refs take that away. Shameful this is what football has come too.
Awesome Thanksgiving football games. It's good for the NFL. Here in Minnesota, another Jefferson's show presentation. Give credit to the O-Line too. I'm glad to see the determination this week. It was clear on the first drive.
I think the most underrated play is when Patrick Peterson made the tackle and kept the receiver inbounds. I had to watch a couple of times, and he angles himself to make the tackle with him between the receiver and the sideline. Those plays are only made by HOF type talent.
He literally picked-up the dude to make sure he was tackled inbounds……basically sealed the deal. I guess the Patriots receiver didn’t know the situation on the last play. He went to the ground as if they had a timeout.
Go ahead, keep telling yourself that! The only way it changes to a TD is in your delusional head!! You can CLEARLY see the ball touch the ground & so you’re knowingly refusing to accept REALITY! You can come join us there any time!
@Javon Batiste I watched the best I could & could NOT see this magical Vikings holding that should’ve been called! Maybe it’s more like, What YOU wanted & what actually happened were two different things!?
Great game glad the Vikings bounced back. I'm still concerned with our defense, especially the secondary. If the defense doesn't improve the offense is simply going to have to continue to outscore the other teams in the playoffs. If they don't we will lose early.
@Tvck Tell me you don't work out or understand the muscles in the human body without actually telling me... It isn't arm strength. He has insane core/upper body strength (without it, that catch against the Bills wouldn't have been a catch) + crazy strong hands I mean, obviously he has strength in his arms, but his "arm strength" is far from "incredible"
@Heards well, he has 2.5 years in and has set the receiving records already so I think he has proven himself. The only thing that will slow him down is injuries or not having a decent QB to get him the ball. He has surely shown his consistency or he wouldn't have the record.
Amazing game from both teams ! BUT the fact that in the end the game is decided by this RIDICULOUS roughing the kicker call is a huge shame ! This deserved better !
Every single receiver and tight end on the Vikings is impressive this year. Every time I see TJ or JJ get hit my entire body tenses up. TJ took some massive hits this game
Jefferson is amazing but Cousins is doing a great job giving him a shot to catch the ball however incredible the catch needs to be. Becoming a hot tandem
Finally! Someone that praises the O-Line! I hate it when people say: "OH MY GOD KIRK IS THE NEXT BRADY" or "OMG KIRK GOAT" If it wasn't for the O-Line, Kirk and the Vikings would be on the same record as the Bears, Packers, or the Lions.
For those that didn't see the game are confused by the editing near 7:46, the WR was ruled down at like 1 inch from the goal and they had to kick a FG. The editing makes it look like they scored a TD and kicked a point after but only got 3 points. Edit: He was ruled incomplete, I thought he was ruled down, hard to pay attention to the TV on thanskgiving
@Ash the Viking def not the right call. you guys were the better team, but they literally removed the ball having to survive the ground as a rule in like 2018. also close up shots show that his hand was under it, he crossed the plane. TD.
So glad the Vikings were able to pick themselves back up after their loss to Dallas. What's even better is with this win, it doesn't really feel like they lucked out on this one. Not to me anyway. Now let's see the Vikings bring that same kind of energy to their game with the Jets.

The Hunter Henry play in the end zone was ridiculous on the ref's part. Your hand can be under the ball and it still be fumbling around, should have been spotted inside the one yard line.
As long as the Vikes keep winning the close games like this, the blow out by the Cowboys won't seem so bad. It only counted as one loss, plus they learned a lot from that. They got the ball out quicker, and gave Cousins more protection against a very good defense.
@Charles Wagner And yet the Patriots obviously missed that memo. Can't think how they let the Vikings get 7 pts on special teams, or how the Vikes' defense suddenly adjusted in the second half.......mabe it was a fluke....mabe 9-2 is just a fluke. ....... or mabe they are actually pretty damn good.
@Caleb Emerson Games change week to week. You're never as bad as you look when you lose, and never as good as you look when you win. DO I think the VIkings can win the Superbowl? Absolutely! DO I think they need tons of luck? Absolutely! Their defense is attrocious, but they did manage to dominate special teams against the Patriots this week. What's your excuse for their bounce-back win against the Patriots? They are 9-2 right now, and I've had enough of people trashing a playoff team like they suck. Recall there are other times in NFL history when a team got destroyed in one matchup cuz they didn't show up, or were unprepared, and then did much better the next time. The first time the Buffalo Bills took on Dallas in the Superbowl, they got blown out by historic proportions, the next time they were actually in the game. The time the Green Bay Packers faced the Minnesota vikings in 2012 regular season, they lost the game. The next week in the playoffs, they came back and CRUSHED the Vikings and Adrian Peterson. Adjustments baby! 1 week turnarounds ! The Vikings just hung 33 pts on a defense that allows 17 ppg. And they did it on special teams, which is a LEGIT part of the game BTW.

I believe the Pats done Finally figured it out after all the rebuilding, from having Cam Newton to now, I think they finally have a good team there offense is good and there defense, congratulations to the Vikings on a solid win at home.....
This is the first time I've seen Minnesota play this year. Damn they are for real. Their offense is hot. I thought on defense they gave up too much on both the long throws, the runs and the punt returns. If they can boost their defense a bit more I think they are the odds on favorite in the NFC (and this is coming from a Niners fan).
They aren't getting past Philly or San Francisco and I am a Vikings fan they might get a win in the wild card still have some work to do on all team phases off def the close wins won't cut in in the playoffs
Ya I’m pretty impressed with the Vikings’ offense…….their defense is pretty weak though and won’t keep them in games against elite teams in playoffs. The Viking offense is good but not so good that they can put up 30+ points against teams like the Eagles, Cowboys and 49ers which is what they would have to do with the way their defense plays.

I've watched football since I was 6 years old. I'm 27 now. So for another 20 years. 21 counting this year. I played football from 8 to 16 years of age as a Wr. I've never seen a WR as talented and exciting as Justin Jefferson. Not Calvin Johnson, Julio Jones, Steve Largent, Jerry Rice, Michael Irving, Randy Moss or anyone else I think has been as good as JJ has been his first 3 years. This man is insane. But also Jamar Chase who played with him at LSU. Drafted a year after has amazed me just as much. These 2 played at LSU at the same time with Joe Burrow throwing to them. They were the first college football team to win 5 games against top 5 ranked opponents in ONE season EVER. They went on to win the national championship that year. Ultimately beating 7 top 5 ranked teams at the end of it all. Absolutely INSANE. Between those 3 players was a super bowl caliber offense.
It was a lot closer than I had expected. If not for those special teams mistakes, jumping off sides, hitting the kicker and the kickoff TD, it could have been won by the Pats.
Jefferson is an absolute BEAST & ELITE WR... Even in double coverage he can't be stopped, just like Cris Carter & Randy Moss!! Vikings move to 9 - 2... #KingsOfTheNorth 🏈🔥

@Anthony seeing as you said jags and the Vikings haven’t even played the jags this year shows how much you watch. Cousins was getting 67% pressure and for reference mahomes in the super bowl against the Bucs was only getting 37%. Kirk had 0 time to throw otherwise jj woulda had many catches. Jj vs slay was a good matchup that slay one. You expect jj to go for 200 every week for him to be good in your eyes💀 even rice had some stiff showings against good corners

The way this game was officiated last night gave the impression that it was clearly rigged for the Vikings to win. All those holding calls the Vikings got away with including the kickoff return so noticeably caught in real time? The Patriots receivers were visibly held a lot even the last play of the game. A TD catch that clearly broke the plain without touching the turf got called back. Mat Jones was also clearly facemasked on his last pass attempt "Whatever's in Vegas stays in Vegas" SO MUCH MONEY/THE BETS WERE OBVIOUSLY IN FAVOR OF THE VIKINGS TO WIN
Can’t believe I thought Vikings were gunna be in the superbowl this year. After seeing them barely squeak by against Jones I doubt they will make it far in the playoffs
