Wigan fought back late to pip Hull on golden-point after a dramatic finish.
The hosts went ahead when Liam Marshall waltzed over, but resolute defence and Adam Swift's finish gave Hull a slender 6-4 half-time lead.
Brad Dwyer made it 12-4, Toby King cut the lead, and after Hull lost Carlos Tuimavave to the bin, Jake Wardle levelled with three minutes left.
Both sides missed attempts in a scoreless first extra period before Harry Smith's 40-yard drop-goal won it.
A fourth straight Super League win - and sixth in seven - brings Wigan to within two points of table-topping Catalans, while Hull remain two points outside the play-off spots in eighth.
