Minnesota Vikings at Arizona Cardinals: First quarter recap and second quarter discussion

We have made it through the first quarter at State Farm Stadium, and your Minnesota Vikings have looked downright explosive on offense, staking themselves to a 14-7 lead over the Arizona Cardinals after the first fifteen minutes.

The Cardinals won the toss and deferred to the second half, giving Kirk Cousins and the Minnesota offense the football first. After Dalvin Cook picked up a first down on the game’s first play, Cousins loaded one up and hit K.J. Osborn for his first NFL touchdown, a 64-yard bomb to put the purple ahead 7-0 less than a minute into the game!
