It wasn’t always pretty Riley Reiff Jersey , but the Minnesota Vikings overcame a slow start to do something that no Vikings team had ever accomplished: Thanks to a defense that forced four Jets turnovers, including three interceptions by Sam Darnold, en route to a 37-17 victory at MetLife Stadium in Week 7 action.Minnesota got on the board first in this one, and quickly, as Kirk Cousins found Adam Thielen for a 34-yard touchdown on the Vikings’ first drive of the game. It look about a minute and a half, but the connection staked the Vikings to an early 7-0 lead.The Jets drew even late in the first quarter on a very impressive drive, concluding with rookie quarterback Sam Darnold finding fellow rookie Chris Herndon for a 12-yard touchdown to make it 7-7.The only points in the second quarter came on a 26-yard field goal by Dan Bailey, and the teams went into the locker room with the Vikings leading 10-7 after Bailey missed a field goal attempt just before the half.Much like they did against the Arizona Cardinals in Week 6, the Vikings took over in the third quarter. After stifling the Jets’ offense on the first drive of the quarter, the Vikings got themselves onto the scoreboard again, thanks to an 11-yard touchdown run by Latavius Murray. Bailey added the extra point, and the Vikings found themselves ahead 17-7.The Vikings then got a huge play from their defense, as Harrison Smith picked off Darnold to give the Vikings great field position.The Vikings could only manage a field goal out of it, however, and extended their lead to 20-7 on Bailey’s second of the day.After the Jets got a 55-yard field goal from Jason Myers to cut it to 20-10, the Vikings got another big play from Murray. Set up by a nice run from rookie Roc Thomas, Murray took a handoff from Cousins and blasted 38 yards for a touchdown. Bailey added the extra point again, and the Vikings were up by 17 at 27-10.The Jets cut into the lead after the Murray touchdown, as they marched down the field with little resistance, and the result was a 1-yard sneak by Sam Darnold to cut the Vikings’ lead to 27-17.The Jets were driving on their next possession, but were halted by the first NFL interception by rookie Holton Hill, who came in to replace an injured Xavier Rhodes. On the ensuing drive, the Vikings were facing a 4th-and-8 from the Jets’ 34-yard line, and the Vikings elected to go for it. Cousins took the snap, and fired it deep for. . .Aldrick Robinson! And, since all Aldrick Robinson does is catch touchdowns, he brought it in for the score! Bailey added the extra point, and the Vikings were up 34-17 with just over five minutes remaining.On the next drive, Darnold threw his third interception of the day, this one to Trae Waynes Xavier Rhodes Jersey , and that pretty much wrapped things up for the Vikings. They turned that turnover into a Dan Bailey field goal, a 43-yarder that made it 37-17 late in the fourth.Kirk Cousins had some fairly ugly moments during this one, but wound up with a respectable enough stat line. He completed 25-of-40 passes for 241 yards and a pair of touchdowns. Adam Thielen did what Adam Thielen does, as he had nine catches for 110 yards and a score. That yardage figure gave him a tie for the most 100-yard receiving performances to start a season, tying him with Charlie Hennigan of the 1961 Houston Oilers.Robinson’s 34-yard touchdown actually made him the Vikings’ second-leading receiver in terms of yardage, and Stefon Diggs finished the afternoon with eight catches, but those catches only netted 33 yards.On the ground, Latavius Murray had just 17 yards at halftime, but finished the game with 69 yards and two touchdowns on 15 carries. Roc Thomas had 23 yards on his lone carry.The defense was the big story in this one. They harassed Darnold all afternoon, forcing him into numerous interceptions and not allowing him to get comfortable. The box score shows just three sacks, but Darnold was under duress throughout the contest.As we mentioned earlier, this was the first victory in franchise history for the Vikings at the Jets. The team’s all-time record is now just 3-8 against the Jets all-time, but coming into today they were 0-5 against the Jets in East Rutherford.The Vikings move their record to 4-2-1 on the season with their third straight victory, and they’ve got a huge one next Sunday as they host the New Orleans Saints on Sunday Night Football. The Jets fall to 3-4 on the season, and next week will take on their second straight NFC North opponent as they travel to Soldier Field to take on the Chicago Bears.The Minnesota Vikings take down the New York J-E-T-S Jets Jets Jets in Week 7 action at MetLife Stadium by a final score of 37-17.

Kirk Cousins picked up where he left off, finding Adam Thielen for a big gain to the Los Angeles 38-yard line for a huge gain. A pivotal moment came as the Vikings faced a 4th-and-1 from the Los Angeles 29 on the ensuing set of downs, and Cousins handled it himself with a quarterback sneak to gain the yardage needed.A run by Dalvin Cook brought up another third down opportunity, this one a 3rd-and-2 from the Rams’ 19. Cousins dropped back to pass and a bunch of players had a chance to get their hands on it, but it fell incomplete. Dan Bailey came on for his first field goal attempt as a Viking, and he connected. . .with the right upright. AND THEN IT WENT THROUGH! The 37-yard field goal gave the Vikings the lead back at 10-7 with about ten minutes to go in the half.Bailey’s kickoff went for a touchback, giving the Rams the ball at their own 25. After a run by Gurley, the Rams showed off their big-play chops, as Jared Goff dropped back to pass and floated a perfect pass into the hands of Cooper Kupp for a huge 70-yard touchdown pass with Anthony Barr in. . .well, I suppose it was technically “coverage.” Sam Ficken added the extra point, and the Rams were in the lead for the first time in the game at 14-10.I’m about done with Anthony Barr, kids.Ficken’s kickoff was good for another touchback, putting the Vikings at the 25 to start for the third time in three possessions.

Johnny Hekker came on to punt for the Rams, and the Vikings set up shop at their own 29 with just under seven minutes left in the half. The Vikings faced another third down right away, and could not convert as Cousins faced huge pressure from the Rams’ defense and had to throw it away. Matt Wile punted the ball away, and got a favorable roll to set the Rams up at their own 29-yard line.The Rams converted a first down in a couple of plays, with Goff finding Kupp for an 11-yard gain after a missed tackle by Mackensie Alexander. Goff then found Robert Woods for a huge 36-yard gain into Minnesota territory at the 19-yard line. After that, Goff found Kupp once again, this time for a 19-yard score over both Trae Waynes and Mike Hughes.

They faced another third down, and Cousins found Thielen for a gain of eight to move the chains.

A short pass to Diggs was snuffed out to make it 3rd-and-23, and a short pass to Murray didn’t get the needed yardage, forcing the Vikings to punt. Matt Wile’s punt was fair caught by Kupp at the Rams’ 27.Xavier Rhodes was flagged for unsportsmanlike conduct on the Rams’ first play from scrimmage after a catch by Kupp, and the Rams were quickly into Minnesota territory at the 47.

Jared Goff, unfortunately, has been even hotter, as he went 13-for-17 for 251 yards and four touchdowns.The Rams will get the ball first to start the second half of play, so the Vikings are going to have to get a stop.
