Vikings Edge Rams as Offense Struggles in Preseason
Vikings quarterback Fran Tarkenton says the offense is not there yet after a 24-10 win over the Los Angeles Rams. Minnesota sits unbeaten in 14 preseason games as the defense forces key turnovers to spark scoring. Tarkenton notes receivers were open, but the unit pressed for big plays and must establish a ground game against strong fronts. Tommy Mason scored on an 88-yard bomb after a 12-yard line punt and clipping penalty, illustrating the risk and reward of the passing attack.
