The biggest question for the Vikings coming into the season was whether quarterback Sam Darnold would be able to revive his career in Minnesota after lackluster stints with the New York Jets and Carolina Panthers. Three weeks in, Darnold is doing more than just reviving his career, he's thriving.

Sam Darnold matched his career high with four touchdown passes, and the undefeated Minnesota Vikings used another dominant performance on defense to trounce C.J. Stroud and the Houston Texans 34-7 on Sunday.

Jonathan Greenard had three of the four sacks of Stroud, his former teammate, as the Vikings (3-0) intercepted the 2023 AP NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year twice while rattling the Texans (2-1) with their aggressive and unpredictable scheme — and the crowd noise that cranked up with each stop.
