That set up a fourth-and-goal from the 5-yard line, but Deshaun Watson's final pass was incomplete. The play was initially ruled a touchdown, but officials overturned the play.
The Vikings also turned away the Texans in the second quarter (when Houston had first-and-goal from the 10) and in the third quarter (when Houston had first-and-goal from the 8). The Texans kicked field goals on those possessions.
Minnesota made all three of those stands without safety and captain Harrison Smith, who was ejected late in the second quarter for a helmet-to-helmet hit on a quick play over the middle.
The Vikings are now 1-3 and will head to Seattle in Week 5 for a matchup with the 4-0 Seahawks on Sunday Night Football.
Here are four more takeaways from Sunday:
1. A historic offensive showing
Minnesota offensive playmakers showed up in a big way Sunday, and the top trio of Dalvin Cook, Adam Thielen and Justin Jefferson also found themselves in rare air.
Cook ran for 130 yards and a pair of scores, while Thielen (eight catches for 114 yards and a score) and Jefferson (four catches for 103 yards) both went over the 100-yard mark.
The last time the Vikings had a pair of 100-yard receivers and a 100-yard rusher in the same game was back in 2000, when the trio of Randy Moss, Cris Carter and Robert Smith did it against the Panthers.
