It’s still preseason. That’s a bit of a downer for fans of the Minnesota Vikings who are itching to see the team in games that count toward a postseason berth. But that doesn’t mean Week 2 of the preseason isn’t important.
This is an opportunity for projected starters to solidify their roles, other players to earn their spot on the team’s 53-man roster or practice squad, and for everyone to work their way up to game speed from practice.
In the game against the Seattle Seahawks, the Vikings emerged with a victory. The 25-19 final score might not be something notable, but what was notable was how the score got the way it did and who shined brightly during the contest.
