Vikings running back Jerick McKinnon rushed for a team-high 54 yards on 14 carries Sunday against the Redskins. However, he watched backup running back Matt Asiata total three rushing touchdowns and a two-point conversion in a 29-26 win.
McKinnon's best chance for a touchdown came early in the third quarter. However, he was pulled down at the 1-yard line following a 9-yard gain. One play later, Asiata had a 1-yard touchdown run.
McKinnon added three catches for 14 yards in the win. The rookie still doesn't have a touchdown in nine games (four starts). The Vikings are on a bye Week 10 before returning to action Week 11 at Chicago.
