The Vikings stunned everyone with a gritty comeback win, rallying from a 12+ point deficit in the final 20 minutes to score 29 unanswered points. Kyler Murray exited early with a concussion, but Carson Wentz stepped up with three TDs, while Aaron Jones and Jordan Mason powered the ground game. Justin Jefferson flashed MVP form, matching his season total from last year in just one game. The defense, led by Brian Flores, delivered four sacks and finally found its footing. This victory marks historic territory — the first NFL team to overcome such a deficit and win by 17+. But with shaky offensive line play, run game struggles, and leaky pass coverage, there’s still work to do. Now they face a tough road test against the high-powered Bears, who blew out their opener but exposed defensive vulnerabilities. Containing Caleb Williams and starting strong will be critical — a win here could set the tone for the rest of the season.
