A 3-0 LEAD FOR THE MINNESOTA VIKINGS! FORGET, BUT YOU HAVE TO CREDIT THEIR DEFENSE. LET’S SEE IF THEY CAN MAKING AIDAN O’CONNELL’S DAY A ROUGH ONE. >> Kevin: INTERCEPTED! IVAN PACE, JR. WITH THE DIVING PICK! 1:52 TO GO, AND THAT MAY HAVE SEALED IT FOR THE VIKINGS! >> Kevin: JOSEPH, 1 FOR 2 TODAY. AND IT’S — THEY’RE GOING
TO PUNCH THE PUNT WITH JOSEPH. IT WILL BE PICKED UP BY THE RAIDERS. AND LOOKING FOR A LITTLE BIT OF RUNNING ROOM. AND OUT OF BOUNDS GOES CURTIS OFF THE CLOCK, SO RAIDERS GET IT BACK WITH SEVEN SECONDS TO GO. VIKINGS WILL SPREAD THEIR DEFENSE OUT ALL OF THE FIELD. AND O’CONNELL WILL THROW IT SHORT. DAVANTE ADAMS WITH SOME RUNNING ROOM. ADAMS LOOKING TO LATERAL TO THE BIG MAN. AND THE BALL LOOSE ON THE FIELD. AND THAT IS GOING TO END THIS BALL GAME. A 3-0 BALL GAME IN VEGAS.
