Vikings defense delivers 16-10 victory over Colts to stay undefeated
Harrison Smith capped another dominant performance by Minnesota’s defense with the game-sealing interception, and the Vikings overcame another sluggish start to stay unbeaten with a 16-10 victory over the spiraling Indianapolis Colts. Linebacker Blake Cashman led the onslaught of pressure on Daniel Jones all afternoon with 12 tackles, two sacks, four passes defensed and three quarterback hits as the Vikings improved to 6-0 despite minimal production from the offense. The Colts fell to 2-5.
Jones went 13 for 122 for 108 yards and lost 44 yards on four sacks, and Spencer Shrader missed two field goals in the second half.
