Trailing by eight points in the fourth quarter, and backed up to your own nine-yard line? No problem for Sam Darnold and the Vikings. The Minnesota signal caller faked a handoff, dropped back to pass, and then let one rip down the field, unleashing a rocket that traveled about 55 yards in the air to his receiver, who hauled it in for a 51-yard gain. Darnold would go on to throw for 259 yards and one touchdown in this one, adding another 39 yards on the ground, as Minnesota fell to the Lions, 31-29, on Oct. 20, 2024.
