Minnesota Vikings 27, Arizona Cardinals 17: Vikings get second straight win

It took the Minnesota Vikings a little while to get going on Sunday afternoon against the Arizona Cardinals, but they eventually did enough to put together a winning streak for the first time this season.

The Vikings turned a strong second half into their second consecutive victory, holding off a feisty Cardinals team to earn a 27-17 victory in Week 6 action at U.S. Bank Stadium.

Arizona got on the board first in this one, courtesy of a 26-yard field goal by Phil Dawson, taking a 3-0 first quarter lead. The Vikings took the lead on their next drive, getting a score from a somewhat unlikely source.
