The Minnesota Vikings improved to 3-0 in the preseason Saturday, as they defeated rookie quarterback Kyler Murray and the Arizona Cardinals 20-9 at U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis.
Most of the starters for both teams played nearly the entire first half in what was viewed as the dress rehearsal for the regular season.
All eyes were on Murray in his third preseason game, and while the results were a mixed bag, he made some solid plays through the air. Overall, Murray went 14-of-21 for 137 yards with no touchdowns or interceptions.
ESPN's Josh Weinfuss noted that Murray showed improvement in comparison to his last outing against the Oakland Raiders:
