MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. — The Vikings had 10 three-and-outs on Sunday afternoon. They were outgained by the Dolphins 458-233. They produced 11 first downs, with tensions mounting on the visiting sideline after several drives on a sweltering day at Hard Rock Stadium.
Naturally, they are 5-1, and they head into their bye week with a two-game lead in the NFC North.
They survived for a 24-16 win, despite their struggles to contain Dolphins dynamos Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle. Their pass rush knocked Miami quarterback Skylar Thompson from the game, then harassed Teddy Bridgewater enough to produce three turnovers when he was in the game.
