  Kwity Paye with a big 3rd down sack to halt a Vikings drive.

  With a 3rd down pressure package, the Colts are still hanging around, and while the offense hasn’t done much, it only takes one drive to be able to take the lead with under 10 minutes remaining.

  Colts turn the pick into 3 points

  Matt Gay connects on a 42-yard field goal to make the score 14-10 Vikings, but it was another drive where the Colts couldn’t get a first down. Indy has just nine first downs in the game — the Vikings had 13 at halftime, but the Colts are still connected because of a cavalcade of Minnesota miscues including three turnovers and two missed field goals

  And just as soon as it looked like Indy was out of it, Darnold gets picked off.

  This is the VERY next play after the Byron Murphy interception, and Nick Cross came up with a giant play for the Colts, and they’re starting at the 25-yard-line in plus territory.

  Vikings stop the Colts momentum with Murphy pick

  After a spectacular catch by rookie A.D. Mitchell on a 2nd and 30 to get it to 3rd and 8, Joe Flacco found Byron Murphy — the problem with that is that he’s in purple, and not white and blue. First down Vikings after another bad mistake by the Indy offense.

  Jefferson getting the drive started for Minnesota to open the second half

  They’ve gained a bunch of yards tonight, but still need a spark — must be nice to be the Vikings to have this guy to get you started when you need to get things going.

  Reichard with a doink from 31 yards and the Vikings are still scoreless

  Minnesota has 13 first downs and has out gained the Colts nearly 2-to-1 in this first half, but the miscues have been devastating. Two missed field goals, two turnovers — one of which was turned into the game’s only score — and a turnover on downs. Justin Jefferson has four catches for 74 yards and Sam Darnold ia 13-for-16 for 138 yards.

  If there’s any good news for Minnesota, its that Indianapolis’ offense had just five first downs and 92 yards in the first half.

  Justin Jefferson on the scoresheet again

  Justin Jefferson is heating up. His second catch went for 22, and Minnesota is on the move again.

• Mon, November 4, 2024 at 3:25 AM GMT+1

  Colts’ Matt Gay misses from 53

  In a first half that’s been largely devoid of highlights, another lowlight for the Colts — a drive that has come up empty again in a game that hasn’t seen an offensive score as we approach halftime.

• Mon, November 4, 2024 at 3:15 AM GMT+1

  Vikings’ Reichard misses from 53

  And the Vikings remain scoreless. Minnesota offense has turned the ball over on downs, has the Darnold pick, the sack-fumble and now a missed field goal. That would make it seem like the Vikings’ offense isn’t working, but they already have 11 first downs in the game and 150 yards of offense midway through the second quarter. Colts still lead 7-0.

  Colts’ defense strikes first

  Grover Stewart with a sack-fumble and Kenny Moore grabbed it for the scoop-n-score. While the game was still scoreless, the Colts needed that shot in the arm after having trouble moving the ball over their past few possessions.

  Vikings pick up big first down with trick play

  How does this even get scored in fantasy? Great throw by Justin Jefferson on this 3rd and 16.

• Mon, November 4, 2024 at 2:56 AM GMT+1

  Another Colts’ three-and-out

  The Defenses are in control of the game right now. Indianapolis’ receivers are having trouble getting open, and unlike the first drive, aren’t winning first down with Jonathan Taylor on the ground.

  Vikings get the ball into Colts territory with Justin Jefferson’s first catch but punt it away

  Jefferson’s first catch went for 20 yards. Sam Darnold has been mostly sharp early. While he has the one interception, thats the only pass he’s thrown that wasn’t caught was that pick, and is 9-for-10 after the first quarter.
