WATCH: RB Aaron Jones scores first touchdown as a Viking

It wasn’t an ideal start for the Vikings’ offense on Sunday. The Minnesota defense forced a three-and-out from the Giants, but Ed Ingram allowed a sack, and the following play, fullback C.J. Ham fumbled the ball to the Giants.

Minnesota’s defense held the Giants to three points, and the Vikings capped off a five-play, 65-yard drive that ended with their first touchdown of the season. Former Green Bay Packer running back Aaron Jones scored his first touchdown with Minnesota.

Jones took the handoff three yards out for a score. Minnesota got Jones on the outside, and then he used his speed to get an easy score.

Minnesota needed to find a running back after losing Dalvin Cook. Alexander Mattison didn’t cut it last year with fumble issues and not finding the proper holes.
