Vikings top Steelers in HOF game

The Vikings’ defense looked aggressive and fast holding the Steelers out of the end zone and giving up just 192 total yards for the game.

But will Peterson get much – or any – time on the field?

Archer, a third-round pick in 2014, made several big plays with his speed, converting a third-and-14 with a 15-yard run and also catching a 14-yard pass on third-and-10 in the second quarter.

When asked if Suisham needs to back off from being so aggressive, Tomlin said, “I hadn’t talked to him, so I’m not going to speculate”. Then Blair Walsh came in and missed a 48-yard field goal attempt. “I felt good out there”. With second-year center Teddy Bridgewater firmly as the beginning now, and will Vikings fans have to wait a little longer to get a glimpse on a combination Bridgewater-Peterson that it is imperative to strengthen the offense that finished last season near the bottom of the league.

Minnesota Vikings tight end MyCole Pruitt got the NFL on the board for the 2015 season.

Only a company with a monopoly could get away with charging regular prices for a blatantly inferior product and the NFL sure has one of those. The top three picks by the team (Trae Waynes, Eric Kendricks, Danielle Hunter) are all defensive players who will likely see some significant time this preseason.

The Pittsburgh Post Gazette remarks that it is only one preseason game, not really worth looking into the results of it all. The Steelers selected Coates in the third round of the NFL Draft on May 1 after he averaged gaining 21.4 yards on his 82 career catches with the Tigers.

Diggs took it back for 66 yards, falling just a few inches short from a touchdown. Cole had three tackles in abbreviated duty in the first half, including a forced fumble. For a while in the first half there was a question if we’d see any points at all. He is competing with rookie Eric Kendricks and Gerald Hodges, who had two snaps in the middle, to start. In the second quarter, he was flagged for a 38-yard pass interference penalty.

On the flip side, it is doubtful anyone will see the likes of Adrian Peterson for the Vikings, so most of the superstars will be in street clothes on Sunday.

There were some nice plays.

The offensive line did not look dominant, but they did enough to keep the chains moving on the opening series.

While Diggs’ play is putting pressure on Sherels, Pruitt’s play could put another veteran in jeopardy in Chase Ford.
