Kicker Will Reichard’s 28-yard field goal just before halftime marked the fourth consecutive game this season in which the Vikings have scored inside the two-minute warning. Quarterback Carson Wentz got the ball with 1:38 remaining and found receiver Justin Jefferson for 29-yard and 17-yard connections to move the Vikings into scoring position. The Vikings have scored 19 points inside the two-minute warning this season. The Vikings trailed the Steelers 14-6 at halftime.
DUBLIN – The Vikings used their last timeout for their medical staff to check on Carson Wentz, who seemed like he had something in his eye during the Vikings’ last series. After the field goal, the medical staff came over to Wentz on the bench, who was trying to wipe out his right eye.
Another game, another Sunday of Vikings players rallying around cornerback Isaiah Rodgers following a big play. Rodgers, who made NFL history with two defensive touchdowns and two forced fumbles in last week’s win over the Cincinnati Bengals, made a leaping block of Steelers kicker Chris Boswell’s 30-yard field-goal attempt. Rodgers’ block and linebacker Ivan Pace Jr.’s recovery kept three points off the board for Pittsburgh. The Vikings trail 14-3 with 1:38 to go before halftime.
