Playing in place of injured starter J.J. McCarthy, Wentz threw two touchdowns in helping lead the Vikings to a 48-10 thumping of the visiting Bengals on Sunday. The performance compelled Vikings coach Kevin O'Connell to say afterward that Wentz will get another opportunity to start when the Vikings face the Steelers next week in Ireland.

Viking safety Josh Metellus had his team's fifth takeaway of the game, an interception of the Bengals' Jake Browning.

Reichard hit from 59 yards in Week 1 and he broke the franchise record with a 62-yarder against the Bengals in Week 3.

The Cincinnati Bengals turned the ball over three times in four plays inside the final two minutes of the first half as they suffered their worst loss in franchise history, 48-10, to the Minnesota Vikings Sunday.

Another week, another full slate of NFL action nearly in the books, and Week 3 has been chock-full of spicy storylines. Carson Wentz made his debut filling in as the Minnesota Vikings ' quarterback and helped put a historic beatdown on the Joe Burrow-less Cincinnati Bengals.

It certainly was on Sunday, as the team was absolutely obliterated by the Minnesota Vikings, 48-10. Jake Browning had a howler, with a pair of interceptions (one returned for a touchdown), while the Minnesota defense also took one of the three fumbles it recovered in the game to the house.

The main area to nitpick for the Vikings in this game is penalties. They committed 13 of them for 105 yards. They were mostly sloppy procedural calls against the offense, including several false starts, but they happened on defense and special teams too. O'Connell and the coaching staff will want to get that cleaned up moving forward.
