EAGAN, Minn. (AP) — Camryn Bynum correctly read the routes that came into his zone and, with spot-on instinct, braced for Brock Purdy to try to throw the ball over him with 25 seconds left.The third-year safety leaped high to snag his second interception of the final 5½ minutes of the game and secure a victory for the Minnesota Vikings over San Francisco.Bynum’s timing was perfect, and so was his performance Monday against the 49ers that ultimately earned him the NFC Defensive Player of the Week award.

Because of their unusual situation, her tourist visa application has twice been denied. Now the Bynums, with help from their legal team and both of Minnesota’s senators, are fo...
