Darrisaw injured, Vikings' offensive issues continue in 0-TD first half
The Vikings were held without a touchdown in the first half against the 0-3 Dolphins.
Will Reichard’s third field goal put the Vikings ahead 9-0 at halftime against the Dolphins. The offense managed 147 yards, nearing the 250-yards milestone for the first time this season, but they failed to score a touchdown on six drives, all involving punts and field goals. The Vikings' defense dominated the Miami offense, which managed a paltry 76 total yards at halftime.
Two of the Vikings' starting offensive linemen, Donovan Jackson and Christian Darrisaw, left the game with injuries, with the latter being questionable for the remainder of the contest. Aaron Jones contributed 42 rushing yards and a catch for 15 yards, while Kyler Murray completed 11 of 19 passes for 112 yards and was sacked three times.
T.J. Hockenson was the team's top receiver with three catches for 39 yards. The Vikings will aim to capitalize on their defense's strong performance and score a touchdown in the second half to secure a win.
