Vikings Beat Dolphins to Stay Undefeated as Offense Continues to Struggle
Will Reichard made all five field goals as Minnesota won without a touchdown and T.J. Hockenson caught 13 passes for 119 yards.
- The Minnesota Vikings defeated the Miami Dolphins 15-10 at U.S. Bank Stadium on Sunday, Oct. 4, 2026. Kicker Will Reichard secured the victory with five field goals, keeping Minnesota undefeated at 4-0 while Miami fell to 0-4.
- Minnesota's offense failed to reach the end zone throughout the game, forcing reliance on field goals. Home fans voiced their displeasure, raining boos from the stands as the Vikings' performance remained disjointed from the outset.
- Quarterback Kyler Murray completed 27 of 37 passes for 247 yards, while running back Aaron Jones added 94 yards on 20 carries. Tight end T.J. Hockenson led the team with 13 receptions for 119 yards.
- Despite running back Ollie Gordon's 100-yard game, Miami quarterback Malik Willis faced constant pressure from Minnesota's defense. The Vikings also lost left guard Donovan Jackson and left tackle Christian Darrisaw to injuries during the contest.
- Tight end T.J. Hockenson purposefully slid short of the goal line at the two-minute warning, enabling Murray to take a final kneel-down. This smart clock management secured the 15-10 victory after the Dolphins exhausted their timeouts.
