Murray and the Vikings might’ve found some momentum for a lagging offense, late in their latest win
The Minnesota Vikings secured another win, bolstering their 4-0 record, despite an offense that struggled and appeared uninspired. Quarterback Kyler Murray shone in the fourth quarter of their 15-10 victory over the Miami Dolphins, completing 12 of 13 passes for 112 yards. The Vikings' defense played "suffocating" and their special teams were "sterling."
Murray felt more "present" and "in control" in the fourth quarter, attributing his better performance to being in a new environment. The Dolphins' reliance on split-safety coverage and the absence of star receiver Justin Jefferson made passing more challenging for the Vikings. Murray's performance was supported by tight end T.J.
Hockenson, who had a career-high 13 receptions for 119 yards, including six to the intermediate and deep areas. Despite the Vikings allowing more sacks per pass attempt than any team, their pass defense was strong against the Dolphins, limiting Malik Willis to nine completions in 17 attempts.
