Defense shines bright, leads Vikings to third win of 2018

Two quarters into their Week 6 matchup with the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday, a victory for the Minnesota Vikings did not appear like it would be anything close to simple.

Despite being favored big heading into this week’s game, the Vikings only had a three point lead over the Cardinals as the two teams went to the locker room for halftime. However, Minnesota came out in the third quarter with a purpose.

In the second half, each of the Vikings’ first two drives ended with them celebrating a touchdown. Both celebrations also featured Minnesota quarterback Kirk Cousins dancing like an awkward Dad at his teenage kid’s birthday party.
