The Vikings take a 14-7 lead after Sam Darnold's second TD pass

The Vikings woke up at halftime.

Sam Darnold threw his second touchdown pass in two possessions of the second half to give the Vikings a 14-7 lead. The Vikings, shut out in the first half, scored nine plays of 70 and 80 yards after halftime.

The Vikings quarterback threw a 7-yard touchdown pass to Jalen Nailor with 2:49 left in the third quarter.

Darnold tripped over offensive tackle Brian O'Neill after he threw the touchdown pass and then tested his lower leg on the sideline. He seems fine.

He is 26 of 30 for 255 yards with two touchdowns and one interception.

Justin Jefferson passed for over 100 yards and caught seven passes for 137 yards.

Rookie kicker Will Reichard made the PAT. He missed the first two shots of his career on field goal attempts of 53 and 31 yards, and NBC sideline reporter Melissa Stark reports that Reichard has a right hamstring problem. The team has not announced an injury to Reichard.
