JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Minnesota's stingy defense held Jacksonville to 143 yards which are the fewest in coach Doug Pederson's three seasons and the Vikings overcame Sam Darnold's three interceptions to beat the Jaguars 12-7. It was Darnold's first three-interception game in three years. All came while targeting All-Pro receiver Justin Jefferson, who finished with five catches for 48 yards. The Vikings trailed most of the day but took the lead on John Parker Romo's third of four field goals. Romo made his NFL debut and hit from 29, 34, 33 and 45 yards. The Jaguars had a chance late, but Mac Jones threw his second interception to essentially end it.
