The Vikings have shown a balanced offense through the first two games of the 2015 preseason. Of the five touchdowns, three have come through the air and two on the ground. Cordarrelle Patterson, MyCole Pruitt and Adam Thielen have been on the receiving end of touchdowns while Joe Banyard and Zach Line have both scored from the 1-yard line.
After trailing Pittsburgh early in the Hall of Fame Game, Mike Kafka found rookie TE MyCole Pruitt 34 yards down the field for the Vikings first touchdown of the 2015 preseason.
- Rookie WR Stefon Diggs came up just short of the end zone with a 62-yard punt return late in the 3rd quarter. After Diggs was pushed out of bounds at the 1-yard line, Joe Banyard punched it in for the final score of the game.*
