Minnesota Vikings defeat Pittsburgh Steelers, 14-3, in Hall of Fame game

The second score was set up by an electrifying 62-yard punt return by Stefon Diggs. Pittsburgh Steelers will take on the Minnesota Vikings in the annual Hall of Fame Game, while 30 other teams will begin the march for four weeks on the regular season next week. I’ve been very impressed with him. “He wants to work”.

Also, running back Cameron Stingily, who had 11 carries for 18 yards in the first half, injured his right knee in the third quarter and did not return.

Meantime, quarterback Ben Roethlisberger and running back Le’Veon Bell are among the Steelers who won’t play. This AFC West team may have some improvements in terms of personnel, but Jack Del Rio is the latest in a carousel of ever-changing mediocre coaches, and Fezzik doesn’t expect he is the guy to turn this team around. “You can’t practice enough with all of the communication going on, it’s that vital because we are getting closer and closer to the start of the season”.

The Steelers’ next preseason game is Friday against the Jaguars in Jacksonville.

On Sunday night, for the first time since February, we had National Football League action to watch, and for fans of the Minnesota Vikings, it was a pretty good night for their favorite team.

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

Pruitt also caught Sunday’s touchdown from Mike Kafka and not Teddy Bridgewater, so fantasy owners can’t even point to potential chemistry between the rookie and the starting quarterback as a sign of hope.

Jones completed 16 of 32 passes for 135 yards.

While Tomlin believes Jones is on a “steady incline” he’s holding off on making any real endorsements until he sees how Jones performs with the lights on.

“I just wanted to see a winning performance”. “A lot of what we do is situational”. 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.

Shaun Suisham opened the scoring with a 36-yard field goal in the second quarter, the Steelers’ lone score. Tomlin termed his injury “potentially serious”, as well. Running back Adrian Peterson did not play. The Vikings were undefeated in the 2014 preseason….

“I don’t have any more information at this time”, Tomlin said on the field after the game. On the next play, however, Landry Jones hit tight end Jesse James, but he fumbled the ball and Vikings’ linebacker Brian Peters wound up falling on it. That pretty much ended the excitement, such as it was, for the evening. The preseason game will kick off the start of 2015 in the NFL and it comes after Jerome Bettis was inducted into the Hall of Fame.
