WATCH Vikings TE Josh Oliver score first TD in purple

Great effort from Josh Oliver to find the endzone for the first time in purple

The Minnesota Vikings are on the board with Josh Oliver scoring his first touchdown in the purple and gold.

Oliver capped off a five-play, 75-yard drive that featured the Minnesota passing game getting going.

Oliver’s touchdown was a great throw from Kirk Cousins as he has started off hot again today going seven-for-eight for 81 yards and that touchdown.

That drive was a bounce-back for the offense that had yet another drive stalled by a lost fumble to start the game.

After trying to establish the run, O’Connell and company decided to feature more of the passing game, including two deep crossers to superstar Justin Jefferson.

The Vikings are going to have to keep up with this Chargers offense that has Justin Herbert firing on all cylinders. Herbert has started the game 18-of-22 for 116 yards and the Chargers only touchdown.

With both offenses starting to get into a rhythm, this could become the shootout that everyone is expecting sooner rather than later.
