📌 Here’s what you’ll learn:
The hosts reached the end zone on both of their opening drives, with Herbert making an eight-yard touchdown pass to Oronde Gadsden II before Kimani Vidal, who finished with 117 yards, nailed his first NFL touchdown from three yards out.
Herbert then fired a 27-yard pass to the corner to help Ladd McConkey make it 21-3 at halftime, but the Chargers’ quarterback gave up his only interception midway through the third quarter.
The Vikings took advantage, as Carson Wentz found Jordan Addison in the back of the end zone to make it 24-10, but the hosts asserted their dominance with a Tre Harris touchdown and two field goals in the fourth quarter.
The Vikings are now 3-4 and Wentz struggled in his fifth start in place of the injured JJ McCarthy, throwing for 144 yards, one touchdown and one interception while being sacked five times.
McCarthy is out with a high ankle sprain he suffered in Week 2, but head coach Kevin O’Connell is hopeful the second-year quarterback can return next week, when the Vikings face a tough matchup against the division rival Detroit Lions.
“If JJ is healthy, JJ will play,” O’Connell said. “I think we’re very close to seeing him get healthy, have a week of preparation and go compete.”
