Second Quarter

As the second quarter unfolded, it became evident that turnovers would play a crucial role in this matchup. The Bengals faced challenges with ball security as they fumbled five times throughout the game, losing three of them to their opponents. Despite these setbacks, Drew Sample managed to score a touchdown for Cincinnati with a 4-yard reception from Browning.

Third Quarter

The third quarter was marked by defensive efforts from both sides. Kris Jenkins Jr., one of Cincinnati's standout defenders, recorded 1.5 sacks and two quarterback hits in an attempt to stifle Minnesota's offensive momentum. However, it was not enough to halt the Vikings' progress as they continued to widen their lead.

Fourth Quarter

In the final period of play, Minnesota's offense proved relentless against Cincinnati's defense which forced five three-and-outs during the game but couldn't contain all threats effectively. Despite efforts from players like Joseph Ossai who contributed with one sack and one tackle for loss; ultimately it wasn't sufficient against an aggressive Viking attack that secured victory decisively.
