The Vikings' defense showed up again with a bend-but-don't-break attitude in Week 4. They faced a tough Dolphins offense that didn't look that way on paper, but they showed up against the Vikings, who were ready to meet the challenge head-on.

Through it all, a win is a win, and the Vikings improve to 4-0 and now turn their attention to the New Orleans Saints in Week 5. The team is going to face a tough matchup, as the Saints' offense has proven to be explosive at times, as well as the defense. The Vikings' offense will need to show up in a way they have not done so yet in 2026. Kyler Murray is going to sink this matchup for Minnesota, or it will allow it to swim effectively.
