Minnesota contained the run game, giving up just 45 yards, but allowed five Patriots receivers to record 60-plus yards apiece. DaVante Parker led the team with 80 yards on just four catches, and Rhamondre Stevenson had 76 receiving yards in addition to 36 rushing.
Bynum acknowledged some of the missteps in the secondary that let Jones complete nine passes of more than 16 yards and four of 30-plus.
