It was probably too much to ask for of the Jets, but I did see this as a possible trap game for the Vikings. Instead, they handled New York with ease after leading just 10-7 at the half. With Dalvin Cook out, Latavius Murray continues to be solid as Minnesota’s lead back and rushed for a NICE 69 yards on 15 carries.
The Vikings also had some mild success through the air and Adam Thielen continues to dominate. Through seven games, Thielen leads the NFL with 67 receptions and 822 yards. He’s on pace for a ridiculous statistical year and has separated himself from the rest of the pack.
