The Vikings trailed 22-10 late in the third quarter but secured the win with strong defensive play, forcing two turnovers in the fourth quarter. Wentz, completing 12-of-19 passes for 133 yards and three touchdowns, earned a $100,000 bonus for his performance after playing at least 60% of the snaps.
