Minnesota Vikings fans can't have an easy night. The Vikings led 29-0 in the third quarter on Thursday. They were hammering the Pittsburgh Steelers. But Minnesota has never met a win it didn't try to blow, and somehow it nearly blew a 29-point lead to the Steelers. Luckily, the Vikings avoided that ignominy. They held off a late Steelers drive and their 29-0 lead turned into a tense 36-28 win. The Steelers had a shot to tie on the final play and tight end Pat Freiermuth had a potential touchdown in his hands, but safety Harrison Smith made a clutch play to knock it out. It was a big win in terms of the NFC wild-card race, but Vikings fans probably didn't have enough energy left to celebrate.
