The Miami Dolphins secured a decisive 35-20 victory over the Minnesota Vikings in Week 4 of the 2026 season. With this win, the Dolphins continue to establish themselves as a formidable contender in the league, while the Vikings will need to regroup after a challenging outing at home. De'Von Achane was the star of the show for Miami, rushing for an impressive 218 yards and contributing significantly to the Dolphins' offensive success. Quarterback Tua Tagovailoa also played a crucial role, facilitating a balanced attack that kept the Vikings' defense on its heels. J.J. McCarthy, despite his 372 passing yards and a touchdown, couldn't match Achane's impact on the ground. Defensively, Caden Sterns was a standout for Miami, not only leading the team with seven tackles but also grabbing two key interceptions that swung momentum in the Dolphins' favor. The turning point came late in the second quarter when Sterns intercepted McCarthy, setting up a touchdown drive that put Miami ahead for good. While Jalen Redmond recorded two sacks for Minnesota, it wasn't enough to overcome the Dolphins' explosive offensive performance and opportunistic defense.
