Detroit Lions at Minnesota Vikings: First quarter recap and second quarter discussion

We’ve made it through the first quarter at U.S. Bank Stadium, and the Minnesota Vikings are firing on all cylinders on offense, putting up a 13-0 lead on the Detroit Lions.

The Vikings won the toss and deferred to the second half, and the defense forced a three-and-out on the first possession of the game. The Vikings’ offense got to work quickly as Dalvin Cook carried twice for 18 yards and Kirk Cousins hit Kyle Rudolph and Justin Jefferson to get the Vikings to first-and-goal at the 5.
