Minnesota Vikings at Los Angeles Chargers: First quarter recap and second quarter discussion

We’re through one quarter of play at Dignity Health Sports Park, and your Minnesota Vikings lead the Los Angeles Chargers .

The Minnesota Vikings took the opening kickoff and went 10 plays for 75 yards with QB Kirk Cousins going 6 for 6 and finished with a touchdown throw from Cousins to TE Irv Smith. Since we don’t get nice things, Dan Bailey hit the upright to miss the PAT.

After receiving the ensuing kickoff, the Chargers were able to convert two third and longs, but had to settle for a 41 yard field goal for a drive of 10 plays, 62 yards.
