Murphy tied for third on Minnesota in tackles on a day when four Vikings finished with double-digit stops. The tackle tally was Murphy's highest of the season and snapped a four-game stretch of posting three stops or fewer. The veteran cornerback is enjoying a nice campaign overall, as he's tallied three interceptions so far, tying for second in the NFL in that category.
