In a dominant display, the Minnesota Vikings overwhelmed the Houston Texans, winning 34-7 at home. Quarterback Sam Darnold tied his career high with four touchdown passes while the defense excelled, recording four sacks and two interceptions against rookie C.J. Stroud.
Justin Jefferson and Aaron Jones were key contributors, and the Vikings continued their undefeated start to the season at 3-0. The Texans struggled to find their rhythm against an aggressive Minnesota defense.
Stefon Diggs made his return to Minnesota, leading the Texans with 10 catches, but ultimately it was the Vikings' impressive performance that carried the day.
