The Minnesota Vikings got off on the right foot against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 3. They marched 64 yards in six plays on their opening drive, capping it off with a 12-yard touchdown pass from Carson Wentz to Josh Oliver.

It felt like Wentz, making the start in place of J.J. McCarthy, would be the story of the game. But cornerback Isaiah Rodgers intercepted a Jake Browning pass and ran it back 87 yards for a touchdown on the Bengals’ second drive to give the Vikings a 14-0 lead.

That wasn’t the end of it for Rodgers. In the second quarter, he forced a fumble on Noah Fans and ran it back 67 yards for a touchdown to give the Vikings a 24-3 lead. On the next drive, Rodgers punched a ball out on Ja’Marr Chase, which was recovered by Jeff Okudah.

Rodgers became the first Vikings defender to ever score two touchdowns in a game. He was also the first player in league history to have two defensive touchdowns and two forced fumbles in the same game.

It was cruise control from there, as the Vikings won 48-10. Here are some other instant takeaways from the victory.

Instant Takeaways from the Vikings’ 48-10 win over the BengalsThe offensive line protected much better

The Vikings offense had some lulls after their first drive, but overall, Wentz looked in control. He finished the day 14 of 20, passing for 173 yards. Wentz still took three sacks, but besides those pressures, the offensive line held up much better than it has through two weeks. It was a vast improvement over the loss to the Falcons last week, when the Vikings allowed six sacks. Having Christian Darrisaw back certainly helped.

The run game was strong throughout

This was the first time the Vikings’ run game had moved the ball from start to finish. Jordan Mason took the first run right behind Darrisaw for 10 yards. Mason ran 16 times for 116 yards, punching in two touchdowns for his first-career multi-score game. Overall, the Vikings ran 31 times for 169 yards.

The defense was suffocating and opportunistic

The Vikings didn’t allow the Bengals’ offense to get going. Not only were they taking the ball away, but they didn’t allow Cincinnati to move the ball, either. The Bengals had 171 total yards of offense, averaging only 3.3 yards per play. They finished with five total turnovers as well, with the Vikings intercepting their first two passes of the season.
