Minnesota went into halftime down 7-0 against the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday Night Football. It wasn’t due to not being able to move the football, however. The Vikings did essentially what they wanted offensively but drives would stall. Sam Darnold threw an intersection inside the Colts’ red zone, then he had a controversial fumble returned for a score — Colts’ only points of the game.
But the first drive of the second half was a beauty. Darnd found Justin Jefferson several times, Aaron Jones had a couple of runs, and Darnold finished things off by finding Jordan Addison in the end zone for a score. Darnold was under pressure but gave Addison a chance, and the former USC receiver reeled it in with a one-hand snag.
Minnesota tied the game at 7-7, and the Vikings’ defense will have to continue to do its job to allow the Minnesota offense to continue rolling.
