HOUSTON – The Vikings overcame the ejection of star safety Harrison Smith for the entire season half Sunday with a late stop by the defense aided by a close-call incompletion on fourth down to win 31-23, but their formula on offense continues to make sense.
They have two guys on the opposite side of the ball who were too much for the Houston Texans.
Dalvin Cook and Justin Jefferson.
Two special talents.
One week after having career days in a loss, Cook and Jefferson were brilliant again to help the Vikings earn their first win.
