For 2½ quarters, Sam Darnold was a flawed QB, as he has been known to be. His work after that? Is career-changing too strong a term?

Not everyone thinks that should be the approach. On ESPN's Sunday NFL Countdown, former QB Alex Smith said he thinks the Vikings should be looking to sign Darnold long-term.

After the Cardinals got yet another field goal out of halftime to make it 12-6, they started to pick on cornerback Fabian Moreau, who was filling in for injured cornerback Stephon Gilmore. It resulted in a pass interference that amounted to 38 yards before Murray found rookie receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. for a touchdown to stretch the lead to 19-6.
