Minnesota Vikings at Denver Broncos: Third quarter recap and fourth quarter discussion
Ladies and gentlemen, you know the drill. . .get four fingers way up above your head, because we’re heading to the fourth quarter at Mile High with the Minnesota Vikings leading the Denver Broncos by a score of 17-9.
The Broncos got the ball to start the second half, and their offense put together a three-and-out courtesy of a holding penalty and a nice play by Danielle Hunter. The Vikings got the football and moved into Denver territory in two plays courtesy of Alexander Mattison and Jordan Addison. The Vikings then found themselves looking at a 3rd-and-8 from the Denver 10-yard line, and Joshua Dobbs handled business on his own, running it in from 10 yards out to extend the Minnesota lead to 17-9 midway through the third quarter.
After another three-and-out, the Vikings pushed into Denver territory again and, once again, the Vikings turned the ball over as Alexander Mattison fumbled it away with Denver recovering.
Denver then moved into Minnesota territory in just two plays, thanks to a Javonte Edwards run and a pass from Russell Wilson to Jerry Jeudy. As we move to the third quarter, the Broncos are threatening, as they have a 1st-and-10 from the Minnesota 21-yard line.
We’ve got fifteen minutes left from Denver, ladies and gentlemen, and the Vikings currently lead the Broncos by a score of 17-9. Come on in and see if the Vikings can pick up their sixth consecutive victory!

Denver Broncos safety Kareem Jackson seemingly hasn’t learned his lesson. In his first game back from a suspension for an illegal hit, Jackson was back to his old ways against the Minnesota Vikings on “Sunday Night Football.”
Early in the first quarter, Jackson laid out Vikings quarterback Josh Dobbs with a crushing and questionable blow.
Three plays into the game, Jackson sniffed out a Dobbs rush around the corner on third-and-1, arriving with a pulverizing hit to force a fumble. Before making contact, though, Jackson lowered his helmet into Dobbs’ chest, just under his chin, which led to a trip to the blue medical tent for the QB.
