'Beat down the Bengals': Vikings celebrate lopsided 48-10 win vs Cincinnati

Vikings defensive back Isaiah Rodgers made NFL history during his team's 48-10 win against the Bengals in NFL Week 3.

The Cincinnati Bengals' 48-10 loss in NFL Week 3 to the Minnesota Vikings at U.S. Bank Stadium was ugly.

The Bengals trailed by 45, a franchise-worst deficit, for much of the second half.

And the game was at its ugliest as Noah Fant, Ja'Marr Chase and Samaje Perine fumbled over the course of four offensive snaps during the second quarter.

It was a career day for Vikings defensive back Isaiah Rodgers, who made NFL history.

According to OptaSTATS, the Vikings became the first team in NFL history to have 2+ passing touchdowns, 2+ rushing TDs, 2+ defensive TDs and 2+ made field goals all before the 4th quarter of a game.

To make matters worse, Perine, Fant and guard Dalton Risner were injured.
