There were some good things and bad things that happened in the third preseason game for the Minnesota Vikings. Here are the best and worst against Arizona.

The fun part of Week 3 of the preseason is how close it comes to resembling regular-season action. For the Minnesota Vikings, they get the opportunity to take on an up-and-coming Arizona Cardinals team in that action.

With only 15 days until the regular-season opener, this game had a great feel to it. Seeing most of the regular starters in action was nice, but the 20-9 victory didn’t quite match the excitement of a regular-season contest.

There were some good things and some not-so-good things which happened in this game. Several ups and down interrupted the flow of the game, and those are the things that will be discussed in this article.

Let’s kick off the discussion of the Week 3 preseason game between the Minnesota Vikings and the Arizona Cardinals by talking about the best thing to come out of the team’s dress rehearsal exhibition game!
