The New York Giants will have to wait at least one more week to qualify for the NFC playoffs after a gut-wrenching 27-24 loss to the Minnesota Vikings on Saturday.<\/p>\n

Minnesota (12-3) won the game on a career-long 61-yard field goal by placekicker Greg Joseph on the game’s final play. On the previous play, the Vikings faced a third-and-11, but star wide receiver Justin Jefferson earned 17 yards on a screen pass to put Joseph within range. <\/p>\n

The Giants (8-6-1) had tied the game with 2:01 to play when Saquon Barkley went 27 yards for a touchdown on fourth-and-2, and then Daniel Jones hit Daniel Bellinger for the two-point conversion.<\/p>\n

The Giants could have clinched a playoff berth with a victory as the Seattle Seahawks (7-8) lost to the Kansas City Chiefs 27-24 and the Detroit Lions (7-8) lost to the Carolina Panthers 37-23. They will, however, have to wait at least one more week to earn their first playoff berth since 2016.<\/p>\n

The Giants committed two turnovers, an interception and a fumble, that took away scoring opportunities. Minnesota’s Josh Metellus also blocked a Jame Gillan punt with 4:10 to play. That set up the Vikings at the Giants’ 29-yard line and led to a 17-yard Kirk Cousins \u200b\u200bto Justin Jefferson touchdown that gave Minnesota a 24-16 lead with 3:00 to play.<\/p>\n

The Giants also committed seven penalties for 63 yards, while Minnesota had just two for 14 yards.<\/p>\n

\u201cGuys were resilient but you can’t have those mistakes,\u201d said Giants coach Brian Daboll. \u201cThe fumble took away three points. The interception took away at least three points.\u201d<\/p>\n

Minnesota is now 11-0 in one-score games. The Giants are 8-3-1 in those games.<\/p>\n
