Minnesota Vikings new quarterback Kyler Murray led a drive that ended in a field goal on the way to a 13-10 victory at the New York Giants on Saturday in each team’s preseason opener.
Murray, who spent his first seven NFL seasons with the Arizona Cardinals, completed two of his three passes for 10 yards as Minnesota coach Kevin O’Connell played his first-team offense — minus top receiver Justin Jefferson — for just one series.
“I had a blast,” Murray said. “Today was everything I thought it would be.”
J.J. McCarthy, the 10th pick in the 2024 draft who has been relegated to backup duty, struggled in his first possession before settling in to finish 4 of 7 for 34 yards.
