After an epic last season, the Minnesota @Vikings kick-off their preseason today in Denver. Can’t wait to watch this team in the fall. Good luck today! #SKOL

So everyone’s clear-that ball down the sidelines Cousins to Diggs is the perfect example of the “appropriate” throw. Lots of cats can “make all the throws” lots can. Very few can consistent make the “appropriate throw”. BIG DIFFERENCE. #Vikings #skol #NFLPreseason2018 @Vikings

Cousins on the O-Line: "What stood out to me was how we ran the football. When you run the football that well and stay ahead of the chains, the whole playbook is available for you. " #KFANVikes

⁦@DanielCarlson38⁩ the rookie is thumbs up and all smiles after hitting a 57 yd FG against Denver, the longest of his career. The kicking battle is far from over but 57 yds doesn’t hurt. pic.twitter.com/DTkfK3inSl

Vikings players will wear "TS" stickers on their helmets in honor of former OL coach Tony Sparano, who passed away last month.

Also the Broncos will have moment of silence prior to today’s game in honor of Tom Heckert, who was director of pro personnel and passed away recently. pic.twitter.com/CaOO89pDoa

Chad Beebe -- son of longtime NFL WR Don Beebe -- is a really crisp route-runner. Subtle little shove at the top of the route to create separation, and a nice cut to the corner on the TD.

Xavier Rhodes on rookie CB Mike Hughes: “Down the road he could be one of the best in the league.”#Vikings

It’s a preseason game but it means a lot of #Vikings backup QB @KyleSloter - former UNC - to create two late TDs at Denver, where he competed in camp last year. Broncos offered prestige squad but he went to Minnesota.

All praise to the most high!
DEBUT!!!! https://t.co/ecWUH7mWQ2

Remember when @DonBeebeNFL knocked out the ball in @SuperBowl XXVII?

This is his son, Chad.

One of the things i most love about writing about the #Vikings the past couple of seasons is the way that the starters stay so engaged in preseason games and love to applaud big plays by younger guys

— Craig Peters (@pcraigers) August 12, 2018

Hand it off? @KyleSloter's like nah.

He'll just take this @Vikings touchdown in himself.
