Minnesota quarterback Kirk Cousins’ third touchdown pass made the difference in a game that was tied five times as the Vikings pulled out a 33-26 victory over the New England Patriots on Thursday night.

Cousins connected with wide receiver Adam Thielen with 9:34 to play for the game’s final touchdown, and a third-down sack and a fourth-down incompletion on either side of the two-minute warning after the Patriots reached the Minnesota 30-yard line turned back New England’s best chance for the game’s sixth tie.
