It wasn’t always pretty
Womens Trae Waynes Jersey , but the Minnesota Vikings overcame a slow start to do something that no Vikings team had ever accomplished: They defeated
the New York Jets in East Rutherford.Thanks to a defense that forced four Jets
turnovers, including three interceptions by Sam Darnold, en route to a 37-17
victory at MetLife Stadium in Week 7 action.Minnesota got on the board first in
this one, and quickly, as Kirk Cousins found Adam Thielen for a 34-yard
touchdown on the Vikings’ first drive of the game. It look about a minute and a
half, but the connection staked the Vikings to an early 7-0 lead.The Jets drew
even late in the first quarter on a very impressive drive, concluding with
rookie quarterback Sam Darnold finding fellow rookie Chris Herndon for a 12-yard
touchdown to make it 7-7.The only points in the second quarter came on a 26-yard
field goal by Dan Bailey, and the teams went into the locker room with the
Vikings leading 10-7 after Bailey missed a field goal attempt just before the
half.Much like they did against the Arizona Cardinals in Week 6, the Vikings
took over in the third quarter. After stifling the Jets’ offense on the first
drive of the quarter, the Vikings got themselves onto the scoreboard again,
thanks to an 11-yard touchdown run by Latavius Murray. Bailey added the extra
point
Danielle Hunter Jersey , and the Vikings found themselves ahead 17-7.The Vikings then got a huge play from their defense, as Harrison Smith picked off
Darnold to give the Vikings great field position.The Vikings could only manage a
field goal out of it, however, and extended their lead to 20-7 on Bailey’s
second of the day.After the Jets got a 55-yard field goal from Jason Myers to
cut it to 20-10, the Vikings got another big play from Murray. Set up by a nice
run from rookie Roc Thomas, Murray took a handoff from Cousins and blasted 38
yards for a touchdown. Bailey added the extra point again, and the Vikings were
up by 17 at 27-10.The Jets cut into the lead after the Murray touchdown, as they
marched down the field with little resistance, and the result was a 1-yard sneak
by Sam Darnold to cut the Vikings’ lead to 27-17.The Jets were driving on their
next possession, but were halted by the first NFL interception by rookie Holton
Hill, who came in to replace an injured Xavier Rhodes. On the ensuing
drive

elected to go for it. Cousins took the snap, and fired it deep for. . .Aldrick
Robinson! And, since all Aldrick Robinson does is catch touchdowns, he brought
it in for the score! Bailey added the extra point, and the Vikings were up 34-17
with just over five minutes remaining.On the next drive, Darnold threw his third
interception of the day, this one to Trae Waynes, and that pretty much wrapped
things up for the Vikings. They turned that turnover into a Dan Bailey field
goal, a 43-yarder that made it 37-17 late in the fourth.Kirk Cousins had some
fairly ugly moments during this one, but wound up with a respectable enough stat
line. He completed 25-of-40 passes for 241 yards and a pair of touchdowns. Adam
Thielen did what Adam Thielen does
Womens George Iloka Jersey , as he had nine catches for 110 yards and a score. That yardage figure gave him a tie for the most 100-yard receiving
performances to start a season, tying him with Charlie Hennigan of the 1961
Houston Oilers.Robinson’s 34-yard touchdown actually made him the Vikings’
second-leading receiver in terms of yardage, and Stefon Diggs finished the
afternoon with eight catches, but those catches only netted 33 yards.On the
ground, Latavius Murray had just 17 yards at halftime, but finished the game
with 69 yards and two touchdowns on 15 carries. Roc Thomas had 23 yards on his
lone carry.The defense was the big story in this one. They harassed Darnold all
afternoon, forcing him into numerous interceptions and not allowing him to get
comfortable. The box score shows just three sacks, but Darnold was under duress
throughout the contest.As we mentioned earlier, this was the first victory in
franchise history for the Vikings at the Jets. The team’s all-time record is now
just 3-8 against the Jets all-time, but coming into today they were 0-5 against
the Jets in East Rutherford.The Vikings move their record to 4-2-1 on the season
with their third straight victory, and they’ve got a huge one next Sunday as
they host the New Orleans Saints on Sunday Night Football. The Jets fall to 3-4
on the season

Minnesota Vikings take down the New York J-E-T-S Jets Jets Jets in Week 7 action
at MetLife Stadium by a final score of 37-17. Thank you to everybody that got
their coverage of this week’s game right here at The Daily Norseman!Xavier
Rhodes was pretty happy to see Case Keenum again One of the big stories. .
.insomuch as there can be a big story for a preseason game. . .for the Minnesota
Vikings’ game against the Denver Broncos on Saturday night was the Vikings
taking on quarterback Case Keenum. As we know, Keenum started for the Vikings
for the majority of the 2017 season, and was part of the reason why the Vikings
advanced to the NFC Championship Game.While Keenum may have had a rough night on
the field. . .he completed just one of the four passes he attempted on the
evening. . .at least one of his former teammates was happy to see him after the
game was over.That’s Vikings cornerback Xavier Rhodes shaking hands with Keenum
in the video above. Or rather, while Keenum is under the impression that they’re
going to be shaking hands, Rhodes goes into full-blown Chris Farley “BROTHERS
DON’T SHAKE HANDS! BROTHERS GOTTA HUG!” mode, picking Keenum up and carrying him
around the field a bit.It’s good to see that Keenum’s former teammates don’t
harbor any hard feelings towards him or anything. With the Vikings deciding to
focus on Kirk Cousins this offseason, Keenum did what was best for him and
decided to move on to Denver. Nobody can really fault him for that. Rhodes
apparently doesn’t.Just a nice little moment from the first preseason game of
the year.
