The Minnesota Vikings secured a narrow 12-7 victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars, showcasing a mix of strong performances and critical mistakes.
Tight end T.J. Hockenson excelled with eight receptions for 72 yards, while the offensive line delivered solid pass protection. The Vikings dominated time of possession, holding the ball for over 42 minutes. Running back Aaron Jones contributed significantly despite a minor injury.
However, quarterback Sam Darnold struggled, throwing three interceptions and leading the league in that category. The Jaguars effectively limited deep passes, forcing the Vikings to adapt their strategy.
