Held scoreless at halftime for the first time this season, the Vikings eventually took control by scoring touchdowns on their first two possessions of the second half and added another with two minutes left in the fourth quarter to pad their lead. Indianapolis kicked a late field goal but could not recover its onside kick in the final seconds.

The Vikings beat the Colts on national television Sunday night, but halftime was the main event featuring fully-grown mascots against peewee football players from Maple Grove, Minnesota.
