MANO-A-MANO
Vikings LT Riley Reiff 1 vs. Dolphins DE Robert Quinn
WHO WON?
Edge, Reiff. He played penalty-free (the Vikings were flagged only three times total), and Quinn got to Kirk Cousins just once, in the third quarter.
PLAY OF THE GAME
THE DAGGER
It was still a two-score game (27-17) with just under 10 minutes left in the fourth quarter when Vikings wide receiver Aldrick Robinson got behind two Dolphins defenders and caught a 40-yard TD pass from Kirk Cousins on a third-and-9. It was Cousins' third-longest TD pass of the season and the longest since Week 4 against the Rams. Robinson has 17 receptions this season — five of them for touchdowns.
THE QUOTE
"He's been a good teammate and I'm so happy for him and the success he's had, especially finding the end zone."
— Cousins on Robinson
