It hasn’t been a fun few weeks for Viking running back Aaron Jones. The former Green Bay Packer has what appears to be some butterfingers when it comes to holding onto the football. On the game’s first possession, Jones fumbled the ball twice and the second time ended up going to the Cardinals.
To make matters worse, when the Vikings needed touchdowns, Jones missed a touchdown catch from Sam Darnold.
But once the Viking defense gave the Minnesota offense another chance, Jones didn’t disappoint. The Vikings marched down the field thanks to Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison. The drive was capped off when Darnold hit the struggling Jones for a five-yard score to give Minnesota a 23-22 lead.
The Vikings’ defense would hold on the next drive. Kyler Murray would go on to throw his second interception of the day — this time to Shaq Griffin. Minnesota moves to 10-2 on the season.
