The Minnesota Vikings are one win away from clinching the NFC North, but it's going to be difficult to accomplish that win after they allowed 33 first-half points to the Colts.
that led to a Chase McLaughlin field goal, the Vikings were looking to respond. But they only mustered four plays before sending in the punt team to give the Colts the ball back.
The Vikings looked like they were going to respond quickly after that blunder, when Dalvin Cook rushed for 40 yards on the opening play of the next Minnesota possession. Then, he fumbled on the next play during a four-yard run. Julian Blackmon of the Indianapolis Colts returns the ball for a pick-six against the Minnesota Vikings during the second quarter of a game at U.S. Bank Stadium Dec. 17, 2022, in Minneapolis.
Then, Vikings head coach Kevin O’Connell called for a fake punt on the next drive, but punter Ryan Wright overshot his intended target for an incompletion. McLaughlin kicked home another. Cousins then threw an interception to Julian Blackmon, who took it to the house for a 17-yard pick-six to make it 30-0.
