The Minnesota Vikings convincingly beat the Miami Dolphins 21-3 in their Week 4 matchup of the 2026 season. With this victory, the Vikings improve their early-season standing, while the Dolphins search for answers following a lackluster offensive performance. Both teams entered the game looking to establish momentum, but it was Minnesota who emerged as the clear frontrunner. Kyler Murray led the Vikings' offensive charge, throwing for 222 yards and connecting for three touchdowns. His efficient passing game kept Miami's defense on their heels throughout the contest. Jordan Mason contributed significantly on the ground, amassing 93 rushing yards to sustain drives and control the clock. Despite Jalen Tolbert's standout performance with 100 receiving yards for the Dolphins, Miami struggled to convert yardage into points. Defensively, the Vikings were relentless, with Blake Cashman leading the charge with six tackles. Jalen Redmond added pressure with a sack, disrupting Miami's offensive rhythm. The game's turning point came when Minnesota's defense held strong in the red zone, limiting the Dolphins to just three points. Despite Chris Johnson's interception for Miami, the team couldn't capitalize on the turnover, allowing the Vikings to maintain their lead and secure the win.
