The final preseason of the game has the Vikings on the road as they travel to the Music City to face off against the Tennessee Titans and the top pick in April’s NFL Draft, Cam Ward.
The Vikings’ defense is the straw that stirs the drink to their success. Brian Flores coaches a unit that has found its way since he arrived. Their next test will include something that should allow for some prime pickings in a rookie quarterback making his third start in an NFL game. On offense, this group is still trying to find its footing with J.J. McCarthy being rested for the rest of the preseason. The final game will be telling on what they do in terms of having his backup situation be settled, but right now it is prime for the picking.
