Minnesota’ 25-16 season-opener victory at Tennessee was a team win, thanks in part to a group effort by the Vikings receiving corps.
“Those guys made tough plays,” quarterback Shaun Hill said following the game. “They made tough catches, they got open. They were great for me today.”
Second-year receiver Stefon Diggs said it was important for the unit to support Hill on the field. Hill was named the Week 1 starter in place of Teddy Bridgewater, who underwent successful knee surgery Thursday.
“As a quarterback, you want a guy out there that you can trust,” Diggs said.
