JACKSONVILLE — The action started early, as in the Vikings first play on offense, when quarterback Sam Bradford connected with tight end Kyle Rudolph on a 44-yard passing play.
That was just a sign of things to come as Minnesota had numerous chunk plays in a 25-16 win over the Jaguars, including three of which that went for 40-plus yards.
“It was great,” said Vikings Head Coach Mike Zimmer. “We had some big plays in there, shots down the field. We had some good catches-and-runs.
“We didn’t have hardly any negative plays today so that was a big key,” Zimmer later added.
