Kyler Murray Gets Pointed Advice After Vikings Beat Giants

Kyler Murray made his first on-field appearance with the Minnesota Vikings in their 13-10 preseason win over the New York Giants on Aug. 13 at MetLife Stadium. He saw limited action, completing 2 of 3 passes for 10 yards. After winning Minnesota’s QB competition, Murray’s next focus is running the offense led by head coach Kevin O’Connell. ESPN analyst Herm Edwards told him on Aug. 15 to keep things simple—don’t try to do too much—so he can use weapons including Jordan Addison, Justin Jefferson, T.J. Hockenson and Aaron Jones. Murray expects more playing time in the second preseason game.
