Week 2: Bengals 24, Falcons 10
Cincinnati scored 21 unanswered points between the second and third quarters and that was enough to lift the Bengals to victory.

In overtime, Atlanta generated a stop against the Saints before kicker Matt Bryant converted the game-winning field goal. Bryant made two field goals of 50-plus yards in the final three minutes of game time, and Matt Ryan threw for a career-high 448 yards through the air, while completing 31 of his 43 pass attempts.

Vikings
Week 3: Saints 20, Vikings 9

Playing without Adrian Peterson, the Vikings rushed for just 59 total yards in the game, and as a team, Minnesota failed to crack the 250-yard mark of total offense.
Week 2: Patriots 30, Vikings 7
The Vikings sustained their first loss of the season in Week 2 to the Patriots. Matt Cassel threw for 202 yards with one touchdown and four interceptions. In the absence of Adrian Peterson, Matt Asiata ran the ball 13 times for just 36 yards. In total, the Vikings finished with 54 rushing yards. New England's Chandler Jonesreturned a blocked field goal for a touchdown in the second quarter.
Week 1: Vikings 34, Rams 6
Minnesota won its first game under new head coach Mike Zimmer. Matt Cassel threw for 170 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions. Cordarrelle Patterson had a 67-yard touchdown run. This was the only game that Adrian Peterson played this season before his suspension. He rushed the ball 21 times for 75 yards and did not find the end zone.
