Minnesota stayed unbeaten with a 16-10 win over Indianapolis, overcoming a sluggish offense with a fourth-quarter touchdown and a game-sealing interception. The Vikings improved to 6-0, with four of their wins coming by one score.

By the Numbers
  • Vikings: 6-0 overall; 4 one-score wins.
  • Colts quarterback Daniel Jones: 13-for-22 passing, 4 sacks for 44 yards lost, and a late interception.
  • Colts kicker Spencer Shrader missed 2 field goals; Minnesota’s Will Reichard had a 59-yard attempt blocked.
Yes, But

The win keeps Minnesota’s perfect start intact, but its offense repeatedly stalled and left Indianapolis within reach. The Colts also struggled to capitalize, with missed kicks and limited offensive production contributing to the loss.

Bottom Line

Minnesota found another way to win, but its narrow escape underscores how much the team relied on late-game execution—and Indianapolis’ mistakes—rather than a consistent offensive performance.
