Offensively, Darnold responded from back-to-back three-turnover games with an impressive afternoon. He completed 62.5 percent of his passes (20-of-32) for 246 yards, with two touchdowns and no interceptions. Darnold also showed off his athleticism on the ground, adding a season-high eight carries for 18 yards and another score. All in all, it led to Darnold being given the highest offensive grade in a game in his career (90.8) from Pro Football Focus.

Lastly, but certainly not least (and definitely not at all surprising), Justin Jefferson broke yet another league record. The star receiver surpassed both Rams Legend Torry Holt and Vikings Ring of Honor member Randy Moss for the most receiving yards by an NFL player in his first five seasons. Holt previously held the record at 6,784 yards (set from 1999-2003), with Moss right behind him at 6,743 (set from 1998-2002).

Sunday’s victory gave Minnesota a slight boost in this week’s Power Rankings, with the largest jump being two spots. Here’s where the Vikings rank going into Week 12:

Sam Darnold was charged with a fumble after his errant pitch on the Vikings third play from scrimmage, and there was a sense of here we go again. But the win over the Titans ended up being a big bounce-back game for the QB, who played pretty darned well for three quarters, until the offense went into a bit of a shell late. Darnold also took a costly fourth-quarter sack that might have been more impactful against a better opponent. Still, the early fumble was his only turnover of the game. The Vikings defense did its job by sacking Will Levis five times and limiting the Titans scoring chances, even with a few coverage busts. Tennessee ran 55 offensive plays; four of them accounted for 182 yards, and the remaining 51 plays netted just 112 yards. It wasn’t artwork, but the Vikings won by double digits on the road. Now the meat of their schedule lies ahead. The playoffs are well within reach, but they’ll be tested down the stretch.
