Pro Football: Vikings hold off Jacksonville Sunday, head to Nashville next

AP report
November 13, 2024

From AP story:

Minnesota's stingy defense held Jacksonville to 143 yards — the fewest in coach Doug Pederson's three seasons — and the Vikings overcame Sam Darnold's three interceptions to beat the Jaguars 12-7 on Sunday in a mostly purple-clad stadium.

“Those are the types of games that good teams find a way to win, regardless of what it looks like all day,” Vikings coach Kevin O’Connell said. “And I’m proud of that, but absolutely a lot of things we need to correct and fix.”

It was an ugly win for the Vikings (7-2) that felt about as lopsided as any blowout in the league this season.

Vikings: Play at Tennessee next Sunday to complete a three-game stretch against AFC South opponents.
