The Minnesota Vikings beat the Miami Dolphins 15-10 on Sunday, October 4 at U.S. Bank Stadium, as Will Reichard’s fourth-quarter field goal restored the cushion Miami had erased.
Kyler Murray completed 27 of 37 passes for 247 yards, repeatedly leaning on T.J. Hockenson, whose 13 catches produced 119 yards. But the turning point was Minnesota’s response after Ollie Gordon II ran in from 12 yards out to pull Miami within 12-10: the Vikings took the next possession and did not give the ball back until Reichard made it 15-10.
