Joseph’s missed FG dooms Vikings in 34-33 loss to Cardinals

Associated Press  

GLENDALE, Ariz. — The Minnesota Vikings put together a near-perfect final drive, picking their way down the field while managing the clock so they would get the final play of a wild game in the desert. Greg Joseph pushed a 37-yard field goal wide right as time expired Sunday, leaving the Vikings deflated for the second straight week after a 34-33 loss to the Arizona Cardinals. Cousins efficiently worked Minnesota’s offense on the final drive, hitting 5 of 7 passes for 49 yards with a 9-yard run by Dalvin Cook mixed in. The 27-year-old South African made 17 of 20 field goals with Cleveland in 2018 and, after bouncing around the past two seasons, earned the starting job with the Vikings out of training camp. Murray threw for 400 yards and accounted for four touchdowns, but the Vikings also picked him off twice, including one for a 38-yard touchdown by Nick Vigil on the second play of the third quarter.
