CINCINNATI — The Vikings opened their season with a penalty-filled 27-25 overtime loss to the Bengals on Sunday.
New Vikings kicker Greg Joseph made a career-long 53-yard field goal in the final seconds to send the game to overtime, but neither team could generate much yardage in the extra period until the Vikings got the ball at their 37 with 3:40 left.

On the ensuing drive, Joe Burrow hit tight end C.
