Vikings
W 48-10 vs Bengals · Sep 21, 2025
Misery Index · Euphoric
Vikings fans letting themselves enjoy a 48-10 stomping, a Packers loss, and an I.Rodgers tape they can't stop replaying.
The emotional rollercoaster
Fan misery across the game window. Up is worse.
What happened
I.Rodgers turned the game into an exhibition before the first quarter ended, taking a J.Browning pass 87 yards to the house and later forcing the N.Fant fumble he recovered himself. C.Wentz added a short touchdown to J.Oliver, K.Jenkins and M.Murphy got home for a sack, and a 48-10 final left nothing to relitigate. The only nagging question: how much of this was Minnesota arriving, and how much was Cincinnati handing it over.
