The Vikings don’t even need to move the ball on offense anymore.

All they have to do is make the Panthers punt, and they score.

They’re up 21-3 in the second quarter after their second blocked punt for a touchdown.

Adam Thielen took the first one 30 yards for a touchdown and Everson Griffen just took the second one 43 yards for a score.

It’s a day of remarkable breakdowns for the Panthers in every area, even though they’ve allowed the Vikings just 61 yards of total offense.
