The Minnesota Vikings didn’t waste any time getting off to a fast start with quarterback Kirk Cousins throwing a five-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Justin Jefferson to go up 7-0 early in the first quarter.

Fans were understandably excited after that first drive which featured a much higher rate of motion and a lot more confidence from the entire unit.
Couldn’t ask for a better first showing for both offense and defense! #skol

Needless to say, this is exactly how we all wanted to see the Vikings start off the season.
