Minnesota erased a four-point deficit in the fourth quarter to edge Indianapolis 16-10 and extend its winning streak.

Trailing 10-6, Minnesota scored a fourth-quarter touchdown and field goal to turn the game around and win 16-10. Kyler Murray completed 14 of 24 passes for 150 yards and a touchdown, adding 39 rushing yards, while T.J. Hockenson caught four passes for 35 yards and a touchdown. Jonathan Taylor powered Indianapolis with 95 rushing yards and a touchdown, plus 15 receiving yards on two catches; Daniel Jones went 13 of 22 for 108 passing yards and added 13 on the ground. The Vikings gained 275 yards to the Colts’ 218, including a 139-64 edge in net passing yards, while Indianapolis led 154-136 in rushing. The Colts had four sacks to Minnesota’s three, but also threw the game’s only interception as the Vikings finished with no turnovers. Indianapolis converted 8 of 15 third downs and held the ball for 31:50, yet went 0-for-1 in the red zone; Minnesota was 1-for-2. That combination of a late scoring surge and a clean turnover sheet carried the Vikings through a tight finish.
