Vikings win 5th straight, rallying past Cardinals 23-22 on Sam Darnold’s TD pass with 1:13 left

Associated Press  

MINNEAPOLIS — The Minnesota Vikings were searching for an offensive rhythm well past halftime. Sam Darnold’s second touchdown pass of the second half went to Jones for Minnesota’s first lead with 1:13 remaining, and the Vikings rallied from 13 points down to beat the Arizona Cardinals 23-22 on Sunday for their fifth straight victory. Kyler Murray threw two interceptions in the fourth quarter to spoil a strong start by the Cardinals, who fell one game behind NFC West-leading Seattle. “We had a chance to put them away, and we didn’t.” The Cardinals led only 9-6 at halftime despite 228 yards of offense, repeatedly favoring safe underneath throws and inside runs once they reached scoring range. “We knew at the end of the game they had to go and try to score.” Multiple mistakes by Murray Murray was flagged for intentional grounding under heavy pressure on a first-and-goal pass from the 10, and the Cardinals settled for a fifth field goal by Chad Ryland for a six-point lead with 3:20 to go.
