Vikings Overcome 13-Point Deficit to Defeat Cardinals 23-22

Sam Darnold's late-game heroics and Kyler Murray's costly mistakes secure Minnesota's fifth consecutive win.

The Minnesota Vikings rallied from a 19-6 deficit late in the third quarter, scoring 17 points in their final three drives to secure a 23-22 victory over the Arizona Cardinals.
Vikings quarterback Sam Darnold threw for 235 yards and two touchdowns, including the game-winning pass to Aaron Jones with 1:13 left on the clock.
Kyler Murray's performance unraveled in the fourth quarter, throwing two interceptions and losing a fumble, negating an otherwise strong start where he accounted for 206 passing yards and a touchdown.
The Cardinals struggled in the red zone, converting just 1 of 6 opportunities into touchdowns, and were penalized 10 times for 96 yards, including a critical intentional grounding call late in the game.
With the win, the Vikings improve to 10-2, extending their winning streak to five games and remaining in contention for the NFC North title, while the Cardinals fall to 6-6 and drop to second place in the NFC West.
