The game got off to a roaring start, as the Jaren Hall-led Vikings stormed down the field on a 10-play, 75-yard drive culminating in a touchdown. Then, it was the defense’s turn. On their third play of the game, Brian Flores dialed up a blitz disguised with a loaded defensive front. As the linebackers bailed back into coverage, Jay Ward came cruising around the edge, slamming into Clayton Tune and forcing a fumble, recovered by the Vikings. The very next play, the Vikings punch it in for a touchdown, leaping out to a 14-nothing lead on the Cardinals. Finally, some exciting preseason football!
