Defense Rules The Day Again As Vikings Hold Off Colts To Move To 6-0

The Minnesota Vikings remained undefeated by defeating the Indianapolis Colts 16-10 at U.S. Bank Stadium to improve to 6-0 on the season. After trailing 10-6 at halftime following a Jonathan Taylor touchdown run and a Spencer Shrader field goal, Minnesota took the lead in the fourth quarter when quarterback Kyler Murray connected with tight end T.J. Hockenson for a five-yard touchdown.

Minnesota's defense sacked Colts quarterback Daniel Jones four times and sealed the victory with a late interception by Harrison Smith. With that pick, Smith became the third player in NFL history to record at least 40 career interceptions and 20 sacks, joining Pro Football Hall of Fame members Charles Woodson and Ronde Barber.
