In a dominant display, the Minnesota Vikings topped the Miami Dolphins 31-0, solidifying their position in the 2026 season as they look to make a strong playoff push. The Vikings came into this Week 4 matchup needing a statement win, and they delivered with a commanding performance against a struggling Dolphins squad. Kyler Murray was the standout on offense, throwing for 172 yards and a touchdown, while also showcasing his mobility. Demond Claiborne bolstered the ground attack with 84 rushing yards, and Justin Jefferson emerged as the primary target, racking up 125 receiving yards. This offensive trio was instrumental in keeping the Dolphins' defense on its heels throughout the game. On the defensive side, the Vikings completely stifled Miami’s offense, with Byron Murphy Jr. leading the charge with two crucial interceptions. Jakobe Thomas added pressure with a sack, further disrupting any momentum the Dolphins hoped to build. The turning point came early in the second quarter when Murphy's second pick set up a touchdown, putting Minnesota firmly in control and leaving Miami unable to recover from the blow.
