The Minnesota Vikings secured a 15-10 victory over the Miami Dolphins on October 10, 2026, improving their record to 4-0 this season. However, the Vikings' offensive showing has been weak, failing to score a touchdown in two of their four games this season. This marks the first time in over 100 years that a team has started 4-0 without scoring a touchdown in multiple games, according to ESPN Research. Minnesota's next challenge comes against the New Orleans Saints, who have allowed the most points so far this season. There's the potential for star receiver Justin Jefferson to return, which could help address the offensive issues ahead of the team's bye week.

- •Historic trend set as first team since 1923 to start 4-0 without multiple touchdowns.
