Vikings start 4-0 despite multiple games without a touchdown

The Minnesota Vikings improved to 4-0 after defeating the Miami Dolphins on October 4, 2026. The Vikings scored only five field goals, following a previous win against the Chicago Bears with just three field goals. This marks the third occurrence in NFL history where a team starts 4-0 while failing to score a touchdown in multiple games. The team's offensive struggles persisted, although they recorded a season-high 336 yards against the Dolphins. Tight end T.J. Hockenson opted to take a knee at the Miami two-yard line, which allowed the Vikings to secure the victory without a touchdown.
