HOUSTON – The Vikings ran 65 offensive plays Sunday. Two deserve special attention. One run, one pass, both Picassos.
Dalvin Cook's 7-yard touchdown run in the first half and Justin Jefferson's 25-yard catch in the second half.
The Vikings won for the first time this season, 31-23 over the winless Houston Texans, for a multitude of reasons. At the top of the list were those two plays produced by those two players.
