Sam Darnold overcame four sacks and three turnovers by throwing three second-half touchdown passes, and the Minnesota defense made Indianapolis quarterback Joe Flacco's return to the starting role a rough one as the Vikings beat the Colts 21-13 on Sunday night.
overcame four sacks and three turnovers by throwing three second-half touchdown passes, and the Minnesota defense made Indianapolis quarterback Joe Flacco's return to the starting role a rough one as the Vikings beat the Colts 21-13 on Sunday night.
The AP NFL Comeback Player of the Year award winner with Cleveland last season after he came off his couch past midseason to help the Browns make the playoffs, Flacco went 16 for 27 for 179 yards and one interception.The Vikings set an NFL record two years ago by rallying from a 33-0 halftime deficit to beat the Colts 39-36 in overtime, and their first half was eerily similar to that game.
Will Reichard, who started his rookie season by making his first 34 kicks, became the last regular in the league to miss by pulling a 53-yard field goal try wide right. Then his 31-yarder bounced off the right upright.The Vikings welcomed Hockenson back from the knee injury that ended his 2023 season prematurely, and Darnold wasted no time looking for his long-haired and limber-bodied tight end.
Stewart, whose forearm grazed Darnold's facemask with so much force that it knocked him down, was initially flagged for the hit. The penalty was waved off.
