The Miami Dolphins topped the Minnesota Vikings with a final score of 27-17 in Week 4 of the 2026 season. This victory keeps the Dolphins firmly in the playoff conversation, while the Vikings face mounting pressure as they seek to turn their season around. Miami's Malik Willis led the way with 127 passing yards, showcasing his ability to manage the game effectively. On the other side, Kyler Murray contributed a touchdown through the air but struggled to find consistency. Jordan Mason was a bright spot for Minnesota in the ground game, rushing for 85 yards, but it wasn’t enough to overcome Miami's offensive efficiency. Defensively, the Dolphins made a significant impact, with Darrell Baker Jr. intercepting two passes, which proved crucial in shifting momentum. Jacob Rodriguez was a tackling machine for Miami, totaling eight stops, while the Vikings' Harrison Smith managed to record half a sack, but the defense as a whole couldn't contain the Dolphins when it mattered most. The turning point came late in the second half when Baker's second interception set the Dolphins up for a critical touchdown drive, sealing the game for Miami.
