Vikings sail past bumbling Bengals 48-10 in Wentz’s debut behind pair of TDs on D by Isaiah Rodgers
Isaiah Rodgers helped make Carson Wentz’s debut at quarterback for Minnesota a rousing success. Rodgers set a Vikings record with two defensive touchdowns and forced three of Cincinnati’s five turnovers in a 48-10 romp that was the worst loss in Bengals history. Jordan Mason rushed for 116 yards and two scores on just 16 attempts, Will Reichard made a 62-yard field goal — the longest in Vikings history — as the first half ended and Wentz threw for two touchdowns over three quarters. Jake Browning was picked off twice in a rough start for the Bengals, who missed Joe Burrow in their first game since their quarterback had toe surgery.
