The Vikings lost their first game of the campaign, but their defense continued to be ferocious. That was largely due to Van Ginkel, who brought down Jared Goff three times -- two solo and one assisted -- in the first half. That pushed the veteran pass rusher up to 6.5 sacks on the season, tied for fifth-most in the NFL.
