Three second-half touchdown passes from Sam Darnold, and an unceasing pass rush that short-circuited the Colts’ passing game, helped the Vikings overcome a sloppy first half and end a two-game losing streak with a 21-13 win over Indianapolis on Sunday night. The Vikings are 6-2 heading into a three-game road trip.
