The Minnesota Vikings took part in their third preseason game on Saturday afternoon and if their performance against the Arizona Cardinals was any indication, it might be a long season.
That’s not to say that everything didn’t go the Vikings way during the matchups as Kyle Sloter and Olabisi Johnson had big efforts to help Minnesota come away with a 20-9 victory. When it came to the first-team offense, however, there just seemed to be something missing.
In a game that Adam Thielen and Harrison Smith both sat out for precautionary reasons, there figured to be a little bit of a step back.
