The Texans were 0-for-12 on third downs when Osweiler finally converted one to DeAndre Hopkins with under five minutes to go in the game.
Arizona (1-3) at San Francisco (1-3): Drew Stanton is still in the league? Overall, this team has a lot of questions, with the first coming on the defensive line. He's also the first Viking to have two punt return touchdowns in one season.

I have Minnesota winning by one touchdown, 21-14. He has caught a TD in each of the three games quarterbacked by Bradford, who was acquired just over a week before the regular season opener to take the place of the injured Teddy Bridgewater.
In Week 2, Matt Kalil's nagging hip injury required surgery that ended the left tackle's season, while running back Adrian Peterson went under the knife again to fix knee damage expected to sideline him at least through December.

If you were to remove Smith or Joseph from the defense, there would be an impact, but it would still be a pretty good defense.
VIKINGS QB Sam Bradford remained turnover-free with his new team in Week 4, throwing for 26-36-262 and a TD (101.9 QB rating). It's possible the Texans will have Brown on a snap count as they work him back into action, and if that's the case then Griffen may also see former Vikings teammate Chris Clark lining up across from him on some snaps.
