Murray debuts as Minnesota's starting QB and Dart throws for a TD as Vikings beat Giants 13-10  Toronto Star

Kyler Murray led a drive that ended in a field goal in his first game action since being named Minnesota’s starting quarterback, New York’s Jaxson Dart threw for a touchdown after passing a concussion test and the Vikings beat the Giants 13-10 in each team’s preseason opener

In his first appearance of Year 2, Dart made a trip to the medical tent.

Jaxson Dart had Giants fans — and John Harbaugh — holding their breath and exhaling with exultation.

Kyler Murray joins the Minnesota Vikings on a veteran minimum deal in a loaded NFC North, pairing with Justin Jefferson and Aaron Jones on offense.

The former No. 1 pick left Arizona with questions about his work ethic and leadership. But Kevin O’Connell sees a talented quarterback capable of writing a different ending in Minnesota.
