In a high-octane matchup, the Minnesota Vikings topped the Miami Dolphins 45-35 in Week 4 of the 2026 season. With both teams looking to solidify their status early in the season, Minnesota's offense proved to be the difference-maker in this thrilling contest. Kyler Murray led the charge for the Vikings, throwing for 221 yards and three touchdowns, showcasing his dual-threat ability. Jordan Addison was a key target, racking up 88 receiving yards and contributing significantly to the passing game. Meanwhile, De'Von Achane shined for Miami on the ground, rushing for an impressive 140 yards, but it wasn’t enough to keep pace with Minnesota’s explosive offense. Defensively, the Vikings made crucial plays that shifted momentum, highlighted by Dallas Turner's two sacks and Byron Murphy Jr.'s interception. The turning point came late in the third quarter, when Murray connected with Addison for a touchdown that pushed the lead to two scores. Minnesota's defense stepped up when needed, ultimately holding off a late Dolphins rally to secure the win.
