The Minnesota Vikings beat the New York Giants 13-10 in their preseason opener on Saturday at MetLife Stadium, with Kyler Murray appearing in his first game action as the team’s starting quarterback. Multiple reports describe Murray as limited in his time on the field, completing two of three passes for 10 yards, including a drive that ends in a field goal.
The Vikings’ first-team offense plays only briefly, with coach Kevin O’Connell using it for one series and without top receiver Justin Jefferson. One source also notes that Jaxson Dart throws a touchdown for the Giants after passing a concussion test. Another quarterback, J.J. McCarthy, plays for Minnesota and has an uneven start before finishing 4 of 7 for 34 yards. The reports vary mainly in emphasis—some focus on Murray’s debut performance, while others highlight additional quarterback play and roster context.
