Overview
- The Vikings improved to 4-0 with a 15-10 home win over the Miami Dolphins on Sunday that featured five field goals and no offensive touchdowns.
- Kyler Murray finished 27-of-37 for 247 yards with four sacks and delivered two late possessions in which he went 13-for-14 for 120 yards to close the game.
- Kicker Will Reichard accounted for all 15 points on field goals while tight end T.J. Hockenson led the receiving corps with 13 catches for 119 yards.
- Portions of the crowd at U.S. Bank Stadium chanted for Carson Wentz and Murray publicly vowed improvement with the line “That door’s getting kicked down soon,” leaving the starter question unresolved.
- The team’s defense and special teams have repeatedly carried results as the offense ranks near the bottom in yardage, a shortfall worsened by injuries to Justin Jefferson and Jordan Mason and by reduced quarterback depth after roster moves, a dynamic that could force coaching and lineup choices in coming weeks.
