Colts fall below .500 with Week 9 loss to Vikings

Vikings kicker Will Reichard missed discipline objectives of 53 and 31 yards, whereas Colts kicker Matt Homosexual missed a 53-yard kick over the primary half-hour.

Minnesota tied the sport to open the second half with Darnold discovering broad receiver Jordan Addison for a four-yard, game-tying landing early within the third quarter. The Vikings took the lead on a nine-play, 80-yard drive sparked by a 41-yard completion from Darnold to broad receiver Justin Jefferson, with Darnold ending the possession with an eight-yard landing to broad receiver Jalen Nailor.

The Colts shortly marched into Vikings territory on the following possession, however after a spectacular Adonai Mitchell 21-yard catch canceled out penalties on Taylor and Braden Smith, Flacco was picked off when cornerback Byron Murphy Jr. undercut an out-breaking throw to Downs on third-and-eight on the Vikings’ 35-yard line.
