Summary:
Awesome first game by the Vikings! Seriously, 42 points in a preseason game! That is absolutely spectacular! Great first game in a Vikings uniform from Kirk Cousins, as he tossed Stefon Diggs his first passing TD as a Viking! This also starts the Cousins-Diggs connection. Now we just need a Cousins-Thielen connection. We also saw the rookie kicker Daniel Carlson make all his field goals and extra points! Overall a great showing by the Vikings.

Injury Report
2nd year running back Dalvin Cook was held out of this game for precautionary reasons according to the Vikings medical staff.

Up Next
The Vikings come home to open up US Bank Stadium for the first football game of the year vs. the former AFC South Champion Jacksonville Jaguars.

SKOL Vikings!
