Kyler Murray got his first start with the Vikings on Saturday, in Minnesota's preseason opener at the Giants.
Murray led a 10-play, 54-yard drive that culminated in a field goal. He exited on the next series.
Murray completed two of three passes on the drive for only 10 yards. He had no rushing attempts.
The drive was fueled by runs from Aaron Jones and Jordan Mason. Jones had three carries for 27 yards, and Mason had three for 17.
The effort ended with an incomplete pass on third and four from the New York 17. The short throw glanced off Jones's hands.
Overall, it wasn't nearly enough to allow any conclusions to be drawn as to whether Murray will have a career rebirth in Minnesota. The first real test is 29 days away, when they open the regular season against the Packers.
