Vikings score first in London with 15-yard strike to Alexander Mattison

The Minnesota Vikings scored two consecutive touchdowns on their opening drive Sunday at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London. The second one counted.

After K.J. Osborn's 5-yard touchdown reception was called back by an offensive pass interference penalty, running back Alexander Mattison scored on a 15-yard screen pass from quarterback Kirk Cousins. Mattison, who is playing on third downs Sunday as starter Dalvin Cook works through a shoulder injury, broke two tackles and benefitted from a great block by left tackle Christian Darrisaw to scamper into the end zone.
