MINNEAPOLIS — The Vikings took a double-digit lead at home on Sunday and again watched an opponent come back to slip ahead of them in the third quarter.
But a pair of third-quarter touchdowns within 1:47 put them ahead for good, and their defense held a dangerous Cardinals offense to three points on Arizona's final four drives. At the end of a back-and-forth game that stretched nearly three and a half hours, the Vikings improved to 6-1 with a 34-26 win.
A wild second half featured 40 points, four turnovers — a strip sack for the Cardinals, two interceptions and a recovery of a fumbled punt for the Vikings — and two stops from the Vikings to close the game out.
